Commercial HVAC in Utah Demands More Than Residential Thinking
Utah's commercial HVAC challenges are fundamentally different from residential. A 10,000 sq ft retail space on State Street, a multi-story office building in downtown SLC, and a restaurant in Lehi's tech corridor each have completely different heating, cooling, and ventilation requirements — and they all operate under Utah's extreme temperature range of -10F to 105F. Commercial equipment (rooftop units, VRF systems, chillers, boilers, makeup air units) requires technicians who understand commercial refrigerant circuits, three-phase electrical, building automation systems, and the energy codes specific to Utah commercial construction.
Since 1942, Towers Plumbing has served commercial properties across the Wasatch Front — from small retail and restaurant spaces to mid-rise office buildings and multi-unit residential complexes. We maintain and repair all major commercial HVAC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Daikin, Mitsubishi, and York. Our commercial division handles everything from routine quarterly maintenance on rooftop units to full VRF system design and installation for new construction and tenant improvement projects.
What separates us from commercial-only HVAC contractors is our full-service capability. Commercial buildings need plumbing, gas line work, water heater systems, and HVAC — often simultaneously. A restaurant build-out needs grease traps, gas lines for the kitchen, water heaters, and HVAC. A medical office needs specialized ventilation, backflow prevention, and reliable heating and cooling. Working with a single contractor who handles all mechanical trades saves time, reduces coordination headaches, and means one company is accountable for the entire system.
Commercial Maintenance Contracts That Actually Prevent Breakdowns
Commercial HVAC failures don't just cause discomfort — they cost revenue. A restaurant that can't maintain temperature loses customers. A server room that overheats risks catastrophic data loss. A medical facility out of compliance with ventilation standards faces regulatory action. Our maintenance contracts are built to prevent these scenarios, not just check boxes on a form. We inspect refrigerant levels, electrical connections, belt tension, motor amperage, coil condition, and control system operation — the measurements that actually predict failures before they happen. Contract clients get priority scheduling and 24/7 emergency response, because we know that a commercial system down on a Friday afternoon in July can't wait until Monday.
- Rooftop unit (RTU) repair, replacement, and maintenance — Carrier, Trane, Lennox, York for retail, restaurant, and office applications

Know the Warning Signs
Signs You Need Commercial HVAC Services
Catch these early to avoid a bigger, more expensive problem down the line.
Uneven Temperatures Across Zones
If some areas of your commercial space are too hot while others are too cold, the system isn't balancing properly. This could be a damper issue, a failed zone board, or an improperly configured BAS — all common in Utah's aging commercial stock.
Watch ThisEnergy Bills Trending Upward
Commercial HVAC accounts for 40-60% of a building's energy cost. If bills are climbing without occupancy changes, the system is losing efficiency — dirty coils, refrigerant loss, failing economizers, or controls running in override are common culprits.
Watch ThisRTU Making Unusual Noises
Grinding, screeching, or banging from a rooftop unit means a belt, bearing, or compressor is failing. Catching it early is a $200-$500 repair; ignoring it becomes a $3,000-$10,000 compressor replacement.
Watch ThisRefrigerant Charge Loss
If your commercial AC system runs continuously but can't maintain setpoint, it's likely low on refrigerant. This means there's a leak that must be found and repaired — simply recharging without fixing the leak violates EPA regulations and wastes money.
Act NowTenant or Employee Comfort Complaints
Persistent occupant complaints indicate system performance issues that affect productivity, customer experience, and tenant retention. Don't dismiss them as normal — they're usually the first symptom of a developing mechanical problem.
Watch ThisSystem Over 15 Years Old Without Upgrades
Commercial HVAC efficiency has improved dramatically in the past decade. A 15-year-old RTU operates at 30-40% less efficiency than modern units. Utah utility rebates (Rocky Mountain Power, Dominion Energy) can offset 20-30% of replacement costs.

Real Customers, Real Results
What Our Customers Say
“We manage a 12-unit strip mall in Murray and had been bouncing between three different HVAC companies — none of them reliable. Towers took over our maintenance contract last year and the difference is night and day. They found two RTUs running with bad economizers that were costing us a fortune in energy. Response time for tenant issues has gone from days to hours. Should have switched years ago.”
— Mark D., Property Manager

Commercial HVAC Services FAQ
Answers from our master plumbers — based on real questions from Northern Utah homeowners.
Yes. We offer quarterly, semi-annual, and annual maintenance contracts for commercial properties across the Wasatch Front. Contract clients receive priority scheduling, 24/7 emergency response with a 2-hour commitment, and discounted repair rates. We customize the scope based on your equipment type and building needs — a restaurant with kitchen exhaust and makeup air needs different service than a standard office RTU.
