Commercial and industrial
Commercial HVAC for Yakima buildings
Anything and everything you might need for your office, shop, restaurant, hospital, warehouse and more, designed, installed and serviced by one local crew.
Chapter 01
When the building stops keeping up
Commercial HVAC rarely fails politely. You see it first as an energy bill that climbs for no reason, a back office that never reaches temperature, thin airflow at the far diffusers, a unit that cycles on and off all afternoon, or a noise or smell that was not there last month. Each one is the system telling you something, and in a restaurant, a clinic or a warehouse the wait to find out costs real money.
ACT works on offices, shops, restaurants, hospitals, warehouses, schools, churches and industrial space across Yakima, Union Gap, Ellensburg, Prosser and the Tri-Cities. Older rooftop units and newer high-efficiency equipment both come through the door, and we repair all makes and models. We provide 24/7 emergency service because a malfunction does not keep office hours. Call (509) 388-2997.

Design and install, from the chiller to the thermostat
A commercial install starts with the right size and style of system for your building and your layout. ACT designs single and multizone air conditioning, installs split and packaged units and rooftop units, and sets air-cooled chillers, server cooling, exhaust and air exchange, filtration and fire suppression systems. Heat comes from furnaces, boilers or air-source and geothermal heat pumps, depending on what the building and its fuel supply call for.
Controls are where the savings live. ACT builds intuitive zoning with integrated sensors, so a conference room, a kitchen line and a server closet each get what they need instead of one setpoint for the whole floor. Josh Johnson came up in the trade around Seattle, working on chillers and building automation on the Microsoft campus and in downtown high-rises, and that controls background goes into how ACT specs a job here.
Jared Holwegner, General Manager, handles commercial sales and talks through options and costs in plain English, with a detailed, no-obligation estimate. Scott Curtsinger, Commercial Project Manager, manages the project once you say yes.
Chapter 03
Keeping it running between emergencies
The cheapest repair is the one a seasonal inspection catches. ACT recommends a system inspection and service in the spring and again in the fall, before the equipment has to carry extreme Yakima Valley summer and winter temperatures. A visit turns up worn parts and energy-saving opportunities before a breakdown does, and it stretches the life of electric and combustion-style systems alike.
Some of our commercial customers keep ACT on a standing maintenance program, with a tech coming out to check the unit on a schedule. And when a job needs the crane, the same crew runs it: the lifts in our project photos are rooftop equipment going onto Yakima buildings, including the City Jail, the City Building and the Downtown YMCA.

Recent commercial projects include the five buildings below. Control cabinets and kitchen hoods are the quieter side of the work: the board that decides when a zone calls for air, and the hood a restaurant cannot open without.

“We came into work to find our building freezing and called our normal company to fix it, but they couldn't come for hours. I called ACT and Javier showed up less than an hour later and had us heating up in no time. Thanks!”
“ACT has our building set up on a preventive HVAC maintenance program, they come check on our unit regularly, the employees are always very professional and kind. We have worked with plenty of HVAC companies in the Yakima Valley and ACT is hands down the best all around.”
