Rooftop Unit Installation & Replacement
Rooftop package units are the backbone of commercial HVAC in the foothills. Whether you run a retail store, restaurant, office, or warehouse, we install, replace, and repair rooftop units from Ruud, Rheem, and other commercial brands. Our crew has the equipment and experience to handle crane-set installations on single- and multi-story buildings, and we coordinate with your business schedule to minimize disruption to your operations.
Package Unit & Split Systems
Not every commercial space uses a rooftop unit. We also install and service ground-level package units, commercial split systems, and multi-zone configurations for offices, medical facilities, churches, and multi-tenant buildings. We design the system around your building's layout, occupancy, and usage patterns rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all solution.
Commercial Ductwork
Properly designed and installed ductwork is critical for commercial comfort and energy efficiency. We fabricate and install sheet metal ductwork for new construction and retrofit projects, and we repair or replace deteriorating ductwork in existing buildings. Our ductwork installations are engineered for the specific airflow requirements of your space, not just slapped together to fit.
Commercial Repair & Diagnostics
When your commercial system goes down, every hour it stays broken costs your business money in lost productivity, uncomfortable customers, or spoiled inventory. We prioritize commercial repair calls and arrive with the diagnostic tools and common parts needed to get your system back online as quickly as possible. Our technicians work on all major commercial brands and have extensive experience troubleshooting complex multi-zone and older systems.
Preventive Maintenance Contracts
A commercial maintenance contract with Starnes Heating & Air protects your investment and prevents costly emergency breakdowns. We schedule seasonal inspections around your business hours, maintain detailed records of all work performed, and alert you to developing issues before they become emergencies. Contract customers receive priority scheduling and discounted service rates.

A Word of Caution
Be Wary of Rock-Bottom Service Call & Maintenance Rates
Watch Out For
Some large HVAC companies advertise an ultra-low preventative maintenance or service call rate to get a technician through your door. In many cases, that "technician" is really a salesman who makes his money on commission and upselling repairs or a new system you don't actually need. A few signs it's happening to you:
- A preventative maintenance or service call rate that's noticeably lower than everyone else in town
- “Today only” pricing or pressure to decide on the spot
- A technician who spends more time pitching financing than looking at your equipment
The Starnes Difference
Our technicians are highly trained, well-paid professionals -- never on commission. They're here to honestly advise you on what your system needs, not to hit a sales quota.
- Our technicians are paid, trained professionals -- not commissioned salespeople
- We diagnose the actual problem and explain it in plain language before we touch anything
- We recommend a repair when a repair makes sense, and replacement only when it doesn't
Cheap is really expensive. Honest is not.
