Since we first broke into the commercial HVAC market, our team of professional HVAC contractors have been working with clients and brands across the Ohio Valley. With this experience, we have seen which brands can last in the harsh environment of Toledo, Ohio. So, it was about time that we put pen to paper and gave our top brands for commercial air conditioners right now.
Key Considerations
Naturally, we should talk a little bit about how we got here. Our HVAC professionals reviewed efficiency and energy costs for the commercial units we have access to. We also wanted to rank these brands based on our technicians’ experience with their serviceability and durability for our clients. An air conditioner can be great, but if you can’t source parts and it is constantly breaking down, it might not be the best for cooling here in Northwest Ohio.
The Brands
Now, we are not going to do a traditional ranking; instead, we will provide a general list of the best brands to invest in for your HVAC system. The reason for this is quite simple: each of these brands offers something different, and whether you are looking for VRF systems, RTUs, or traditional air conditioners, our HVAC technicians will match your needs with the best system.
Trane
Trane has been developing amazing air conditioning systems for years, and its units are considered durable and almost bulletproof for commercial HVAC applications. Specifically, their chillers and rooftop units are among the best in the world and are consistently ranked as the best-performing options for industrial or commercial cooling.
Carrier
Carrier is one of the big three commercial HVAC brands here in Toledo, OH, and a premier brand that delivers a durable, serviceable unit. Specifically, their rooftop units are extremely efficient and with proprietary zoning systems, your cooling needs will be well taken care of with a Carrier unit for your business.
York
York is known for its reliability and durability for its entire set of commercial applications. From RTUs to traditional commercial AC units, York is one of the best choices for your large-scale building projects.
Lennox
Lennox has been one of the most popular residential AC choices for years, and its dominance has extended to the commercial side as well. Known for their high efficiency and quiet operation, you will be hard-pressed to find a better-performing, more tech-forward commercial AC brand here in Northwest Ohio.
Daikin
The Japanese company delivers the world’s best variable refrigerant volume, also called VRV or VRF systems. These modern cooling systems are highly efficient, innovative, and sustainable, offering a cost-effective cooling option that is easy to maintain and repair.
Mitsubishi
Although you may know this brand more for its cars, it is one of the best in the world for VRF systems and ductless cooling options. Not only are their ductless systems innovative, but they are also high-quality and well-suited to a wide range of commercial and industrial applications here in the Great Lakes region.
What is the best fit for my business?
This will depend, and it is usually best to chat with a Fry Heating and Cooling expert who can work with you to find the ideal commercial HVAC solution. However, in general, here are our favorite brands to work with:
Rooftop Units
If you're looking to install or replace an older rooftop unit, you'll be in good hands with a Trane or Carrier system.
Standalone Commercial AC Unit
For those who want to install or replace a standalone commercial air conditioner, York and Lennox are both great options.
VRF System
For those interested in investing in a VRF system, the best options are either a Mitsubishi or a Daikin system.
Chillers
Finally, for those interested in a chiller, you will generally be looking for a Trane.
