Commercial AC has different stakes than residential AC. A restaurant that loses cooling on a Friday at lunch loses a day of revenue and a stack of bad reviews. An office without AC can't keep people at their desks. A short-term rental with a broken AC turns into refund requests and one-star reviews within hours. First Aid Air Conditioning supports small commercial properties across the Treasure Coast with priority dispatch, service contracts, and the kind of fast response a business actually needs. Available across Port St. Lucie, Jupiter, Hobe Sound, Jensen Beach, Palm City, Tequesta, Saint Lucie West, Hutchison Island, and Stuart.
Family-owned, Florida-licensed, and over a decade of experience with commercial AC across the Treasure Coast.
Rooftop units (RTUs): the typical commercial AC setup for restaurants, retail spaces, and offices. We handle RTU service, replacement, and full system installs on multi-RTU buildings. Split-system commercial AC: smaller commercial buildings often run residential-style split systems sized for higher load. We service these the same way we service residential systems, with the same parts and the same diagnostic equipment. Ductwork: commercial buildings often have ductwork that has been ignored for years. We inspect, repair, seal, and modify ductwork as part of larger jobs or as a standalone service. Light commercial indoor air quality: REME HALO and similar whole-system purification, MERV-rated filtration upgrades, and UV light installation are valuable for restaurants (odor and pathogen control), medical practices (patient air quality), and short-term rentals (cleaner air for guests). Walk-in coolers and freezers: depending on the equipment and the brand. Ask when booking and we'll let you know if it's something we handle directly or coordinate with a refrigeration specialist.
Restaurants: from quick-service to full sit-down to bars. Restaurants need fast response during operating hours, because every hour without AC during service costs revenue and creates a guest experience issue. Retail: small shops, salons, boutiques, and similar storefronts. Cooling matters here too, both for staff comfort and for the customer experience. Offices: small to mid-sized professional offices, medical and dental practices, legal firms. Office AC failure means people stop working, so response time matters. Medical and dental: HIPAA-adjacent considerations around equipment downtime, plus indoor air quality matters more than in most settings. Short-term rentals and vacation homes: property managers running portfolios of rentals across Jupiter, Tequesta, Hobe Sound, and Hutchison Island. We offer portfolio service contracts with monthly drive-by checks. Multi-family operators: smaller multi-tenant residential properties that need unit-by-unit service and periodic central system work.
Our commercial service contracts typically include quarterly tune-ups (rather than the twice-yearly residential schedule), priority dispatch during business hours, after-hours emergency response, discounted parts and labor on all repairs, and proactive parts replacement when something looks like it's about to go. We can also build custom contracts for portfolios of properties, multi-unit operators, and businesses with non-standard operating hours.
Three things, mostly. Stakes: a commercial AC failure costs money in a way residential failures don't. We treat commercial dispatches with that in mind. Equipment: commercial systems run harder, longer hours, and tend to have heavier mechanical wear. We bring commercial-rated parts and diagnostic equipment. Scheduling: we work around your business hours, not the other way around. Most maintenance happens before doors open or after close.
For a service contract, we start with a property walk-through and equipment inventory. We catalog the units, their age and condition, and any pre-existing issues. From there we put together a contract proposal that matches your operational needs. For one-time commercial work (a single RTU replacement, a duct repair, an emergency call), we provide a written estimate after a site visit.
