A restaurant asks more of its heating and cooling than almost any other business. The kitchen produces heat and grease all day, the hood pulls out large volumes of air, and the dining room has to stay comfortable through every service. When something fails on a Friday night, it can’t wait for Monday. Lancaster Heating and Cooling looks after restaurant HVAC across Hamilton, Halton and Niagara, and our technicians are on call 24/7.
Request a Restaurant HVAC QuoteWhat restaurants need from their HVAC
- Make-up air to match the hood. Without it, doors are hard to open, the hood doesn’t draw and gas appliances can backdraft. See make-up air.
- Cooling sized for the kitchen and the dining room. They have very different loads. See rooftop units.
- Gas lines for new or relocated equipment. See gas line services.
- Hot water for dishwashing and cleaning, from high-capacity tank or tankless water heaters. See water heaters.
- More frequent maintenance. Grease and moisture load filters and coils faster than in an office. See commercial preventive maintenance.
Opening, renovating or taking over a space
A new restaurant in a space that used to be retail or an office almost always needs HVAC changes: more cooling, make-up air for the hood and gas for the kitchen. Bring us in while the layout is still being planned. We’ll check whether the existing rooftop equipment can handle the new use, fabricate ductwork in our own shop and coordinate the gas and electrical. See construction and tenant fit-outs.
Repairs that keep you open
We service all brands of commercial equipment, with fast access to repair parts from all manufacturers. When a unit keeps failing, we’ll tell you straight whether another repair or a replacement makes more sense. See commercial HVAC repair.
