Commercial HVAC Repair and Maintenance in Texas
What Is Commercial HVAC Service?
Commercial HVAC service is the repair, preventive maintenance, and emergency support of the heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment in a commercial building — rooftop units, air handlers, chillers, cooling towers, boilers, and the controls that run them. It differs from residential work in scale and in consequence: a commercial system serves tenants, patients, inventory, or production, and when it fails, more stops than comfort. Kilgore Service works on commercial and industrial facilities only. We do not service single-family residential.

Commercial HVAC Equipment We Service
Repair, preventive maintenance, and emergency service across the equipment commercial facilities actually run. Kilgore self-performs HVAC, electrical, and plumbing with our own teams, so an HVAC fault that turns out to be electrical does not become a second contractor and a second schedule.
Cooling
Chillers, including centrifugal units. Cooling towers. Split and packaged systems. Repair, scheduled maintenance, and emergency response on the equipment carrying your cooling load.
Air Handling and Ventilation
Rooftop units, air handlers, make-up air units, and VRF systems. Belts, bearings, motors, coils, and the airflow faults that show up as a space refusing to hold setpoint.
Heating and Controls
Boilers and building automation controls. Lockouts, ignition failures, and the controls faults that report a problem nobody on site can locate.
What Facilities Call Us About
Equipment rarely fails without warning. These are the symptoms that put a commercial system on the phone, in the words facility teams actually use.
- A rooftop unit short-cycling or not holding setpoint
- A chiller faulting on low refrigerant or high head pressure
- A cooling tower losing capacity to scale or damaged fill
- Boiler lockouts and ignition failures
- Air handler belt, bearing, and motor failures
- Controls reporting a fault nobody on site can locate
- Uneven temperatures across floors or zones
- A system that ran fine for years and suddenly does not
Preventive Maintenance That Gives You More Than a Checklist
A preventive maintenance program should do more than confirm that equipment was serviced. Kilgore documents what was inspected, tested, and found so your team can make better repair, replacement, and budget decisions based on equipment condition—not simply equipment age.
- Scheduled preventive maintenance based on equipment and facility needs
- Functional testing with documented findings
- Seasonal and major equipment service
- Asset condition and lifecycle planning
- Energy-efficiency review and capital budget support

Start With a Complimentary Facility Review
We'll review your equipment, current maintenance approach, facility priorities, and areas of risk to help determine the right level of support.
Capital Planning
Know What to Repair, What to Plan For, and What to Replace
Kilgore helps facility teams look beyond the next service call. Equipment condition, repair history, operating risk, lifecycle, and available efficiency data can be used to identify priorities and support better capital planning before equipment reaches a critical failure.
Maintain
Preventive maintenance and inspections keep equipment running and extend useful life.
Assess
Review equipment condition, testing results, and repair history to understand true asset health.
Prioritize
Evaluate risk, lifecycle, energy use, and budget impact to identify the highest-value investments.
Plan
Develop a clear plan for repair versus replacement, with a capital roadmap aligned to your facility goals.

What is commercial HVAC?
Commercial HVAC is the heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment that conditions a commercial building — rooftop units, air handlers, chillers, cooling towers, boilers, and the building automation controls that run them. It differs from residential HVAC in equipment type, in scale, and in what a failure costs: tenants, operations, or production rather than one household.
How often should commercial HVAC filters be changed?
Most commercial facilities run on a quarterly schedule, with monthly changes in high-dust environments such as distribution and manufacturing. The right interval depends on filter type, MERV rating, runtime hours, and what is in the air. Kilgore sets the interval per facility when scoping a maintenance program rather than applying one schedule to every building.
Does Kilgore Service subcontract HVAC work?
No. Kilgore Service performs HVAC, electrical, and plumbing work with its own technicians. That means one point of contact and one schedule when a problem crosses trades, which HVAC problems frequently do.
What is included in a commercial HVAC inspection?
A preventive maintenance visit covers scheduled tasking, functional testing, and written reporting. In practice that means filter and coil condition, belts, bearings and motors, refrigerant charge, electrical connections and amp draw, and verification that controls are calling and responding correctly. You receive a written record of what was inspected, what was corrected, and what is trending toward failure.
Does Kilgore Service work on residential HVAC?
No. Kilgore Service works on commercial and industrial facilities only, across Houston, Austin, Dallas–Fort Worth, and San Antonio. We do not service single-family residential.
Can public agencies contract Kilgore Service directly?
Yes. Kilgore Service partners with TIPS, The Interlocal Purchasing System, so government agencies, school districts, and nonprofits can procure service through an existing competitively bid contract.
