What Is Commercial HVAC?
Commercial HVAC refers to the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems built for non-residential buildings. This includes offices, retail spaces, restaurants, warehouses, healthcare facilities, and multi-family properties.
Commercial systems differ from residential ones in a few key ways. They condition larger square footage, manage higher occupancy loads, meet stricter code and ventilation requirements, and run reliably across longer daily hours. Common commercial equipment includes rooftop units (RTUs), packaged units, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, chillers, and commercial-grade ductwork built to distribute air evenly across large or multi-zone spaces.
Because commercial systems are more complex, and because downtime often affects revenue directly, commercial HVAC service requires specialized training and equipment that goes beyond standard residential work.

Commercial HVAC Services We Provide
Commercial HVAC Installation and System Design
A commercial installation starts with proper load calculations, not simply matching the size of a previous unit. We evaluate your building's square footage, occupancy, insulation, and layout to recommend a correctly sized system.
An undersized system struggles to keep up with demand. An oversized system cycles inefficiently and wears out early. We handle installation for new construction, tenant build-outs, and full system replacements.
Commercial HVAC Repair
A failed commercial HVAC system costs more than the repair bill itself. It affects employee comfort, customer experience, and sometimes the ability to operate at all.
Our technicians diagnose and repair rooftop units, packaged systems, air handlers, and commercial ductwork. Our trucks carry commonly needed parts, which reduces the number of return visits required to get your system back online.
Commercial HVAC Maintenance and Service Agreements
Scheduled maintenance is the most effective way to avoid unexpected commercial HVAC failures. Our maintenance visits inspect electrical components, refrigerant levels, airflow, condensate drainage, and filtration.
This catches small issues before they become expensive breakdowns. Businesses enrolled in a maintenance agreement typically see fewer emergency calls and longer equipment lifespans.
Commercial Ductwork Design and Repair
Ductwork is often the most overlooked part of a commercial HVAC system. Leaking, undersized, or poorly designed ducts can undermine even a well-selected system.
We design, install, and repair commercial ductwork so conditioned air reaches every zone of your building evenly, minimizing the energy waste that comes from air escaping into ceilings, walls, or unconditioned spaces.
Indoor Air Quality Solutions for Commercial Buildings
Air quality inside a commercial building affects employee health, customer comfort, and in some industries, regulatory compliance.
We install and service commercial-grade filtration systems, ventilation upgrades, and humidity control equipment built for the higher occupancy and airflow demands of commercial spaces.
Emergency Commercial HVAC Service
A failed system in a restaurant kitchen, a server room, or a retail storefront can't always wait for regular business hours. We offer emergency commercial HVAC service to help minimize downtime and protect your operations when a system fails unexpectedly.

Commercial HVAC Solutions by Industry
Different types of commercial buildings place different demands on an HVAC system. We work with businesses across the following industries throughout East Tennessee:
Restaurants and food service. Restaurant HVAC systems manage heat and grease-laden air from kitchen equipment while keeping dining areas comfortable, all within health department and fire code ventilation requirements.
Retail stores and shopping centers. Retail spaces need consistent temperature control across open floor plans with frequent door traffic, while keeping energy costs manageable across long operating hours.
Office buildings. Office HVAC systems balance comfort across varying occupancy levels and individual tenant preferences, along with after-hours energy efficiency.
Warehouses and industrial facilities. Warehouses bring unique challenges: large open volumes, high ceilings, loading dock air infiltration, and equipment-generated heat.
Multi-family and property management. Property managers overseeing multi-family buildings often coordinate shared system maintenance, individual unit repairs, and tenant communication around HVAC service.
Healthcare and medical facilities. Healthcare facilities carry some of the strictest HVAC requirements of any commercial building type, including precise humidity control and specialized filtration standards.
Commercial HVAC Costs and Budgeting
Commercial HVAC pricing depends on system type, building size, and whether you're installing new equipment or replacing an existing system. Understanding these factors helps business owners plan ahead rather than face an unbudgeted expense when a system fails.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
Commercial HVAC systems typically account for a significant share of a building's total energy use. This makes efficiency a major factor in long-term operating costs.
High-efficiency equipment, proper insulation, and smart control systems can meaningfully reduce energy consumption without sacrificing comfort.
Building Codes and Compliance
Commercial HVAC systems are subject to code requirements that don't apply to residential installations. These cover everything from ventilation rates to refrigerant handling.
Staying compliant protects your building's occupants and your business from liability.

Smart Building Technology and Commercial HVAC
Modern commercial HVAC systems increasingly integrate with building automation platforms, remote monitoring tools, and predictive maintenance technology. This gives facility managers more visibility and control than traditional systems allowed.

The whole crew at Roger L. Newman are very professional, friendly and helpful. We have been customers for over 21 years and they are the only Heat and Air company we use. Shout out to Technician Mike for showing up on time and quickly diagnosing the problem with our heat, and repairing it rapidly. They installed our H.V.A.C. system 21 years ago and when it's time for a new one we will definitely be using Roger L. Newman! Thank you to everyone there, we appreciate you! Carl Reiordan in Happy Valley.
Bill Reiordan
We had a heating issue, where the A/C and heat were both working simultaneously. Josh came to our home on time and did a very thorough check and found the issue quickly. He came back the next afternoon with the part and had our heat working right in no time! Thanks Josh! We have found our new go to heating & air company for sure!
Jon Swicegood

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial HVAC
These are the questions we hear most often from business owners and facility managers considering commercial HVAC work. Each answer below is meant to give you a direct, straightforward response.
What's the difference between commercial and residential HVAC systems?
Commercial HVAC systems condition larger spaces, handle higher occupancy loads, and meet stricter code requirements than residential systems. They also typically use different equipment, such as rooftop units and packaged systems, instead of the split systems common in homes.
How often should a commercial HVAC system be serviced?
Most commercial HVAC systems need at least two maintenance visits per year. Buildings with heavy usage, such as restaurants or medical facilities, often need more frequent service.
How long does a commercial HVAC system typically last?
With regular maintenance, commercial HVAC equipment typically lasts between 15 and 20 years. Actual lifespan varies based on system type, usage intensity, and how consistently it's been serviced.
Do I need a permit to install a new commercial HVAC system?
In most jurisdictions, yes. Commercial HVAC installations typically require permits and inspections to confirm the work meets local building and mechanical codes.
What size commercial HVAC system does my building need?
System sizing depends on square footage, ceiling height, occupancy, insulation quality, and the building's specific heat load. A proper load calculation, not a general square-footage estimate, is the only reliable way to size a commercial system correctly.
Can a commercial HVAC system be repaired instead of replaced?
In many cases, yes, particularly if the system is under 15 years old and the failure involves a single component rather than widespread equipment failure. A technician can evaluate age, repair history, and efficiency to help you decide.
What happens if my commercial HVAC system fails outside of business hours?
We offer emergency commercial HVAC service to address unexpected failures as quickly as possible, minimizing the impact on your business operations.
How can I reduce energy costs from my commercial HVAC system?
Regular maintenance, proper insulation, higher-efficiency equipment, and programmable or smart thermostat controls are the most effective ways to reduce commercial HVAC energy consumption.
Does commercial HVAC maintenance affect indoor air quality?
Yes. Regular maintenance, including filter changes and coil cleaning, directly affects how well a system filters and circulates air. This in turn affects indoor air quality for employees and customers.
How do I get a quote for commercial HVAC installation or repair?
Contact Roger L. Newman Co. to schedule an assessment. We'll evaluate your building's needs and provide a detailed, upfront quote before any work begins.
