Koontz/ Commercial AC Installation
Commercial AC Installation — Daytona Beach
since '67, still doing it

A new commercial system, sized to the building and rigged to last.

Restaurants, retail, offices, light industrial. We've been installing commercial AC in Daytona Beach since 1967 — RTUs, splits, VRF, mini-split arrays. The same crew that quotes the job runs the install.

What's included

  • Manual N commercial block-load calculation — not square-footage guesswork
  • Carrier, Trane, and Lennox commercial — authorized dealer since 1971
  • Roof curb fabricated to your existing penetration — no field-cobbled adapters
  • Hurricane straps and ASCE-rated tie-downs for coastal wind loads
  • Refrigerant lines pressure-tested and nitrogen-flushed before charge
  • Disconnect, breaker, and condensate brought to current Volusia code
  • Permits pulled — we deal with the inspector, not you
  • 10-year manufacturer warranty + 2-year labor
  • Old unit hauled, refrigerant reclaimed to EPA spec

How we size a commercial system

Residential cooling gets a Manual J. Commercial gets a Manual N — a block-load calculation that accounts for occupancy schedule, internal heat gain from lights and equipment, ventilation requirements, and the actual building envelope. An oversized RTU short-cycles, never pulls humidity, and dies young. An undersized one runs flat-out and still can't keep a packed dining room at 74°. We do the math before we quote.

What we install

Four families of equipment cover almost every commercial job in Volusia County:

  • Rooftop units (RTUs) — 3 to 25 tons, single- and multi-zone. Carrier, Trane, Lennox.
  • Split systems — when roof access is bad or you've got a mechanical room to work with.
  • Mini-split arrays — for office buildouts where every tenant wants their own thermostat.
  • Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) — for buildings with simultaneous heating and cooling demand. Mitsubishi and Daikin.

What's different about installing in Daytona Beach

Salt air halves the service life of an outdoor coil. Within five miles of the beach we install marine-grade aluminum coils or polymer-coated units — a few percent more upfront, twice the time before corrosion eats them. Wind-load matters too. Our roof-curb installs use ASCE 7-22 calculated tie-downs and stainless lag bolts. After Ian and Nicole, Volusia code enforcement pays attention. We've already done the paperwork they're going to ask for.

How the install actually goes

You call. Brent — the owner who runs estimates — comes out and measures the building. You get a written, itemized quote, not a salesperson’s brochure. We pull the permit. On install day a four- or five-person crew arrives at first light; the old unit comes down (with a crane if it’s a rooftop), the new unit goes up, and most jobs are cooling again before close of business. The same Brent who signed your quote signs the final invoice.
