Commercial HVAC in Murfreesboro, TN, from bakeries to hospitals

Murfreesboro turns out refrigerated baked goods, treats patients in three hospitals and teaches more than 19,000 students at MTSU. Every one of those buildings leans on rooftop units, air handlers, chillers or boilers. We repair and maintain that equipment across Rutherford County, and we do no residential work at all.

  • Rutherford County
  • Up to 200-ton chillers

What Rutherford County's buildings are up against

Six local details worth knowing before a unit goes down, with the source for each.

Nearly 48 days at 90°F or hotter

NOAA's Murfreesboro 5 N station averages 1,582.1 cooling degree days and 47.9 days a year at or above 90°F, along with 3,765.3 heating degree days. A building in this county needs its cooling and its heat both in working order.

Cold product, warm plants

General Mills/Pillsbury (1,000 employees) and Rich Products (330) make refrigerated baked goods in the city, next to Lewis Bakeries and Heritage Farms Dairy. Ovens on one side of a wall and cold rooms on the other put a heavy load on the air handlers, makeup air and dehumidification in between.

19,000 students at MTSU

Middle Tennessee State University enrolls more than 19,000 students. Labs, lecture halls and residence halls share one campus, and each one wants something different from its air.

New parks along I-840

Stonemont Financial Group's 157-acre industrial park on Sulphur Springs Road at I-840 is planned for about 1.4 million square feet. Big new shells go up with dozens of matching rooftop units, and matching units tend to wear out together.

Stones River and Percy Priest water

Murfreesboro Water Resources draws from the East Fork of the Stones River and J. Percy Priest Lake. If your building runs a cooling tower, the utility's annual report is the starting point for its water treatment plan.

The HVAC around a cold process

A refrigerated bakery is two buildings in one. The product side runs cold, the oven side runs hot, and the people packing and shipping work in the air between them. When the rooftop units serving a packing room short-cycle, or a makeup air unit stops tempering the air it pulls in, the humidity shows up as condensation on cold surfaces and complaints on the floor.

That in-between air is our part of a food plant: rooftop and package units over production and packing, air handlers, makeup air, exhaust fans, dehumidifiers, and process chiller service for machines up to 200 tons. We work around shift changes and sanitation schedules, and we put what we found in writing so the plant engineer has a dated record of every visit.

What we handle in Murfreesboro

  • Maintenance agreements in Murfreesboro

    Scheduled visits for medical offices, food plants and retail buildings, each ending in a written report of what we checked and what to budget for.

  • Rooftop units, 2 to 120 tons

    From a single unit over a Stones River Mall storefront to the long rows on distribution roofs off Joe B. Jackson Parkway.

  • Dehumidification and air quality

    For packing rooms beside cold storage, and for labs and patient spaces that have to hold a humidity setpoint through a Tennessee summer.

  • After-hours emergency calls

    The office number rings through nights and weekends, for a production area heating up or a clinic that opens at 7am with no air.

Around Murfreesboro and Rutherford County

We cover Historic Downtown and the City Center building, the retail at The Avenue Murfreesboro and Stones River Mall (Wikipedia), the medical offices along Medical Center Parkway, the MTSU area, and the industrial ground along I-840. A SmartAsset study ranked Murfreesboro the 16th fastest-growing U.S. city over 100,000 people for 2017–2022 (WKRN), which means a steady supply of buildings whose installer's warranty is about to run out. Smyrna and La Vergne, elsewhere in the county, are part of the same territory.

The HVAC side: rooftop units and air handlers serving production and packing areas, makeup air, exhaust fans, dehumidification and process chillers. Not sure whether a piece of equipment is ours? Send a photo of its data plate and we will tell you.

Most of the time, yes. Filters, coil cleaning and many repairs happen with patients in the building. Work that takes a unit offline gets a window agreed with your office manager, and exam rooms or labs that need it get temporary cooling first.

Before the installer's warranty expires. We take over equipment once that warranty ends: we walk every unit, note its condition, and set up maintenance so the first repair bill is not also the first time anyone has looked at it.
