Types of Commercial HVAC Systems
- Single Split Systems: Single split systems, which consist of a single indoor unit, are the most common type of HVAC system due to their condensed size, affordability and ease of installation and maintenance. They’re ideal for smaller commercial buildings that don’t need to cover a large space or single rooms and spaces within larger buildings.
- Multi-Split Systems: Multi-split systems are similar to single split systems but – as the name implies – compromise multiple indoor units connected to one outdoor unit. This system is perfect for businesses that require the ability to control the heating and cooling on a room-by-room basis but don’t have the space for an outdoor unit for every room. Common use cases include schools and universities, hospitals or hotels where individual room temperature control is preferred.
- Rooftop Units: Rooftop units are installed on the roof, making them common for medium to large commercial buildings that require robust heating and cooling for an industrial layout. Unlike single and multi-split ductless solutions, rooftop units are connected to a more traditional system of ductwork for whole-building conditioned air distribution. They offer robust performance that can handle both heating and cooling for an entire building from one central location.
- Chillers: Utilized in large commercial environments, chillers remove heat from water using vapor compression. The chilled water is then pumped through pipes to air handling units. A single chiller might feed into multiple air handlers located throughout a structure for consistent distribution of condition air through traditional ductwork.
- Variable Refrigerant Flow Systems: Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems use a refrigerant instead of air or water, which allows them to cool individual rooms efficiently and cost-effectively. These systems offer precise temperature control and are ideal for large commercial buildings with multiple rooms.
How Commercial HVAC Units Are Installed
Commercial HVAC is an inherently difficult industry due to the diversity and complexity of heating and cooling systems for businesses, organizations and large institutional clients. Not every company has the resources or know-how to tackle some of the more complex system design and installation jobs common in both large and small industrial and commercial structures in Arlington.
The team at Tom’s Commercial has access to the equipment, expertise and design know-how necessary to develop and implement the ideal solutions to heating and cooling challenges in North Texas.
We understand the cost constraints and operational realities of running a business and managing commercial properties and are committed to developing solutions that work for your schedule and budget. Whether your goal is to restore the performance and capacity of an existing system or you’re looking at HVAC replacements and system alternatives, we are here to offer solutions that align with your desires – not dictate the solution your business must have.
What Information Is Needed to Request a Commercial HVAC Replacement Bid?
Providing as much information as possible helps commercial HVAC contractors prepare accurate proposals and reduces the need for additional site visits. If available, please include the following information in the RFP or bid request.
- Current equipment list with model numbers and tonnage
- Mechanical schedules or equipment submittals
- Building address and roof access information
- Electrical service information (voltage, phase, breaker sizes if known)
- Number of units being replaced
- Any known performance issues or comfort complaints
- Desired timeline for replacement
- Whether the project must be completed after hours or in phases
- Roof type and approximate roof condition
- Access for cranes or equipment lifts
- Whether ductwork, controls or thermostats will also be replaced
- Any existing maintenance or service history
We can still provide a bid even if you don’t have all this information available. Call us at 817-857-7400 to schedule an on-site walkthrough so our installers can evaluate your facility’s current equipment, review access and discuss replacement options.
After the site visit, a detailed proposal can be prepared outlining equipment options, scope of work, scheduling considerations and project costs.
Scope of Work in Commercial HVAC Replacement Projects
Commercial HVAC replacement projects can vary widely depending on the building, equipment type, access and whether any system upgrades are required. In some cases, replacement involves installing new equipment of similar size and capacity, while other projects may involve system modifications or upgrades.
The scope of work for a commercial HVAC replacement project may include:
- Removal and disposal of existing HVAC equipment
- Installation of new rooftop units, split systems, VRF systems or other commercial equipment
- Crane lifts or rigging for rooftop equipment
- Electrical connections and disconnects
- Thermostats, sensors or control system upgrades
- Ductwork transitions or modifications to fit new equipment
- Roof curbs or equipment support modifications
- System startup, testing and operational checks
- Scheduling work around business hours or tenant occupancy
- Phased replacement when multiple units are being replaced
After a site visit, a Tom’s Commercial contractor can develop a replacement plan, define the project scope and provide a proposal based on the specific requirements of the building.
What HVAC Brands Do We Work With?
We install and service all makes and models of commercial HVAC systems in Arlington. A few of our partners include:
- Carrier: Carrier is one of the leading HVAC companies and has been renowned for manufacturing quiet and energy-efficient HVAC units since 1902. The company requires its products to be installed by certified technicians. Ensuring only knowledgeable technicians install their systems helps safeguard their industry reputation and gives property owners peace of mind that whoever they work with is qualified to properly install it.
- Trane: Trane began in 1885 and has been producing superior heating and cooling systems ever since. It’s the leading HVAC company worldwide for weather-proof resilience and providing elevated comfort to any size space.

Commercial HVAC Replacement Timeline and Scheduling
Commercial HVAC replacement timelines can vary depending on equipment availability and project complexity. Factors that commonly affect commercial HVAC replacement timelines include:
- Equipment lead times from manufacturers
- Permit approvals and inspections
- Crane scheduling for rooftop equipment
- Electrical or control system modifications
- Roof work or curb modifications
- Scheduling work around business hours or tenant occupancy
- Phased replacement when multiple units are being replaced
- Startup, testing and system commissioning
Commercial HVAC replacement projects are ideally planned several weeks or months in advance, especially for larger buildings or multi-unit replacements.
However, emergency replacement situations do occur when equipment fails unexpectedly. In those cases, replacement projects can potentially be expedited to restore heating or cooling as quickly as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes, a typical commercial HVAC installation and replacement project in Arlington or Fort Worth will require multiple permits and inspections, especially when equipment, electrical components or gas connections are being replaced.
Our team coordinates permits and inspections as part of the project to help ensure the installation meets local building codes and municipal requirements in Arlington, Fort Worth and surrounding areas.
Can HVAC replacement be done after business hours?
Yes, in many commercial buildings HVAC replacement work can be scheduled after business hours, on weekends or during planned shutdown periods. This is common for offices, schools, retail spaces and medical facilities where maintaining normal operations during business hours is important.
Can multiple rooftop units be replaced in phases?
Yes, we often complete commercial HVAC replacement projects in phases, especially when a building has multiple rooftop units. Phased replacement allows property owners and facility managers to spread costs over time, avoid replacing all equipment at once and minimize disruption to building operations.
Do you provide commissioning and startup reports?
Commercial HVAC installation includes system startup, testing and operational checks to verify that equipment is running properly. This may include checking refrigerant charge, airflow, thermostat operation, heating and cooling modes and overall system performance.
Startup documentation and commissioning procedures are included in our commercial HVAC installation projects.
Do you handle crane scheduling for rooftop units?
Yes, we will handle crane scheduling, site coordination and lift planning if your commercial HVAC installation and replacement project requires crane lifts to remove old equipment and place new rooftop units.
Can HVAC equipment be replaced without shutting down the entire building?
In many buildings, HVAC replacement can be scheduled and staged so that only certain areas or zones are affected at a time. Phased installations, temporary cooling or heating and after-hours work can often be used to minimize disruption to tenants, employees or customers.
How far in advance should commercial HVAC replacement be planned?
Commercial HVAC replacement projects should ideally be planned months in advance, especially for larger buildings or multi-unit replacements. Planning ahead allows time for budgeting, equipment ordering, permits, scheduling and coordinating installation around building operations.
In some cases, catastrophic equipment failure may require an accelerated replacement timeline. Call our team to discuss available options.
What is the average lifespan of a commercial HVAC system?
Typically, a properly installed and adequately maintained commercial HVAC system can last anywhere between 10 to 20 years. Staying up-to-date with routine maintenance is key to maximizing the lifespan and continued efficiency of your system.
How can I verify an HVAC contractor’s reliability?
A dependable HVAC contractor will have extensive experience and all the necessary local and state licenses and certifications. They should always provide detailed quotes without hidden fees and have a collection of positive customer reviews you can easily find. They’ll be upfront, hard-working and put your needs above quotas.
Do you offer financing for top-level HVAC installation?
Yes. At Tom’s Commercial, we offer flexible financing that’s tailored to business owners’ needs and budgets to ensure you can get a reliable and durable HVAC system for your commercial building at a price that works for you.
