Rooftop units, split systems, makeup air, and full mechanical builds for shops, offices, and industrial facilities across the Treasure Valley.
Commercial and industrial HVAC is a different animal than residential work. The equipment is bigger, the stakes are higher, and the engineering has to account for occupancy loads, ventilation codes, exhaust requirements, and building pressurization that residential systems never deal with. Mears Mechanical handles commercial HVAC installation, service, and maintenance for businesses across the Treasure Valley — from single-unit retail shops to multi-zone office buildings and industrial manufacturing facilities.
We install and service rooftop units (RTUs) from 2 to 25+ tons, commercial split systems, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, makeup air units, dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS), exhaust fans, unit heaters, radiant tube heaters, and packaged equipment. Whether you're building out a new tenant space, replacing aging equipment on an existing building, or designing a complete mechanical system for new construction, we bring the engineering knowledge and field experience to get it right.
Rooftop units are the workhorses of commercial HVAC. We install gas/electric, heat pump, and dual-fuel RTUs with economizers, staged or modulating heating and cooling, and building automation system (BAS) integration where applicable. We handle the full scope: structural curb installation, crane coordination for unit placement, gas piping, electrical connections, duct transitions, thermostat and controller wiring, and start-up commissioning with verified airflow measurements.
Makeup air is critical for any commercial space with kitchen exhaust hoods, paint booths, welding shops, or process exhaust. Without adequate makeup air, buildings run under negative pressure — doors are hard to open, exhaust systems underperform, and combustion appliances can backdraft dangerously. We size and install makeup air units with heating (gas-fired or electric) and optional cooling to maintain building pressure balance and code-compliant ventilation rates.
For industrial facilities — manufacturing plants, warehouses, agricultural processing, and mechanical shops — we install unit heaters (gas-fired and hydronic), radiant tube heaters for high-bay spaces, large exhaust systems, and evaporative cooling where appropriate. These spaces have unique challenges: high ceilings, open bay doors, dust and contaminant loads, and extreme internal heat gains from equipment. We design systems that account for these real-world conditions rather than applying residential rules of thumb to commercial problems.
Tenant improvement and build-out work is a significant part of our commercial business. When a new tenant moves into an existing shell, the HVAC system often needs modification — additional zones, rerouted ductwork, supplemental cooling for server rooms, or exhaust for commercial kitchens. We coordinate with general contractors, electricians, plumbers, and fire suppression trades to deliver the mechanical scope on schedule without holding up the rest of the project.
Service and repair for commercial equipment follows the same philosophy as our residential work: honest diagnostics, clear pricing, and no work without authorization. We service all major commercial brands including Lennox, Carrier, Trane, York, Daikin, Mitsubishi, and Bard. For businesses that depend on climate control — server rooms, medical offices, restaurants, retail — we offer priority service agreements with guaranteed response times.
Preventive maintenance contracts are available for all commercial customers. Regular maintenance on commercial equipment — filter changes, belt inspection, coil cleaning, refrigerant charge checks, economizer calibration, and control verification — prevents costly breakdowns during business hours and extends equipment life well beyond industry averages.
Free estimates · No pressure · Same-day callbacks
We evaluate your building, calculate heating and cooling loads, review ventilation and exhaust requirements, and design a system that meets code and performs in real-world conditions — not just on paper.
You receive a detailed proposal covering equipment, installation labor, crane costs if applicable, and a project timeline. We coordinate with your GC, electrician, and other trades to keep the schedule on track.
Our crew handles equipment placement, duct fabrication and installation, gas piping, electrical connections, controls wiring, and any structural work required. We manage the full mechanical scope from start to finish.
We verify airflow, refrigerant charge, gas pressure, electrical readings, and control sequences against design specifications. You receive documentation of all commissioning data and equipment warranty information.
Yes. We design and install complete HVAC systems for new commercial and industrial buildings — from load calculations and equipment selection through installation, duct fabrication, controls, and final commissioning. We coordinate directly with architects, engineers, and general contractors.
Yes. We service, repair, and replace RTUs from all major manufacturers in sizes from 2 tons up to 25+ tons. We carry common parts and can handle most repairs in a single visit. For replacements, we coordinate crane service and curb modifications as needed.
Yes. We offer preventive maintenance contracts tailored to your equipment and operation. Contracts include scheduled filter changes, coil cleaning, refrigerant checks, belt inspection, economizer calibration, and priority response when something breaks outside of scheduled maintenance.
Commercial systems are larger, more complex, and must account for building codes around ventilation, exhaust, pressurization, and occupancy loads that residential systems don't address. The equipment runs harder, the consequences of failure are greater, and the engineering requires commercial-specific training and experience.
