Commercial AC Repair
Cortez has repaired commercial air conditioning systems across Florida since 1964.
Hospitals, hotels, restaurants, retail centers, and manufacturing plants call us for commercial AC repair because we carry the training, parts, and licensing to get a system running again quickly. We’re licensed under Florida contractor license CAC1820470, and our technicians work on rooftop units, package systems, and chillers from every major commercial brand.
We built our name on fixing it right the first time. When your business can’t afford downtime, that’s the kind of commercial air conditioning repair partner worth calling.
Signs Your Commercial AC Needs Repair
Commercial air conditioning systems rarely fail without warning. Warm spots in occupied areas, short cycling, rising humidity, unusual noises from a rooftop unit, and utility bills that keep climbing are all signs a commercial AC repair call is due. Catching these signs early is usually the difference between a same-day repair and a full system replacement.

Six Decades of Commercial AC Repair in Florida
Cortez has been repairing commercial and industrial HVAC systems in Florida since 1964. Our technicians carry the training and parts inventory to diagnose most commercial AC repair calls on the first visit, and we’re licensed under Florida contractor license CAC1820470. When a system goes down at a hospital, hotel, or manufacturing plant, we know the stakes and the right repair to make.
How Commercial AC Repair Works With Cortez
When you call Cortez for commercial AC repair, we ask enough about your system and its symptoms to send a technician out with the right parts and tools already on the truck. For emergency calls, that means getting someone on site as fast as the day allows, not scheduling you for next week.
Once a technician is on site, we diagnose the actual cause of the problem before recommending anything. You’ll get a plain explanation of what’s wrong, what fixing it will take, and what it costs before any repair work begins. We’d rather walk you through the options than hand you a surprise invoice.
After the repair, we test the system under real load rather than a quick check, to confirm the fix holds. If a unit has reached the point where repair costs more than it’s worth, we’ll tell you that directly and explain what replacement would look like, instead of patching something that’s near the end of its life.

Commercial AC Repair Questions We Hear Often
What's the most common reason a commercial AC unit stops cooling?
Refrigerant leaks, failed compressors, and clogged or frozen coils cause most commercial cooling failures. Electrical issues, like a bad capacitor or contactor, are also common and often mistaken for bigger mechanical problems.
How much does commercial AC repair cost?
Cost depends on the equipment, the cause of the failure, and how much of the system is affected. A diagnostic visit gives you an accurate number before any repair work starts, rather than a generic estimate that doesn’t hold up once a technician is on site.
Can a commercial AC be repaired without shutting down the whole building?
In most cases, yes. Multi-zone systems and buildings with more than one unit can often keep other areas conditioned while we repair the affected zone. We’ll tell you upfront if a repair requires taking a system fully offline.
What should I do if my system is short cycling?
Turn off the unit at the thermostat if it’s safe to do so, and call for a diagnostic visit. Short cycling puts extra strain on the compressor, and running it repeatedly can turn a repairable issue into a replacement.
Do you offer same-day commercial AC repair?
We prioritize commercial accounts where a failure affects patient care, guest comfort, or production, and we offer 24/7 emergency response across southwest Florida. Call ahead when possible so we can have the right parts on the truck.
