Ann Arbor Commercial HVAC & Refrigeration Service

Samco FM provides commercial HVAC and refrigeration service throughout Ann Arbor, supporting the city’s restaurants, medical facilities, University of Michigan buildings, and retail operations with 24/7 response and licensed technicians.

24/7 Commercial HVAC and Refrigeration Support in Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor’s commercial landscape is shaped by the University of Michigan, a dense downtown restaurant and retail district, several large medical campuses, and the Briarwood Mall area to the south. These environments create distinct HVAC and refrigeration demands: dining halls and commercial kitchens that run long service hours, medical offices that need consistent temperature and air quality, and retail facilities that cannot close due to a failed rooftop unit. Samco FM serves all of these property types in Ann Arbor, with technicians available 24 hours a day for both scheduled maintenance and emergency response.

Samco’s Livonia headquarters is approximately 35 minutes from downtown Ann Arbor, putting our technicians well within range for both scheduled visits and after-hours emergencies. Restaurants and bars on South Main Street and in Kerrytown depend on Manitowoc and Hoshizaki ice machines, walk-in coolers, and kitchen ventilation staying operational through peak service hours. Medical offices and outpatient clinics near the University of Michigan hospital campus have strict indoor air quality and temperature requirements that a general residential contractor is not equipped to meet. Samco technicians work in these environments regularly and understand what is at stake when a system fails.

Preventive Maintenance Programs for Ann Arbor Facilities

Samco PM programs are designed to reduce emergency calls, extend equipment life, and catch failures before they disrupt operations. We offer quarterly and monthly service frequencies depending on your equipment mix and operating demands.

Learn about PM programs or request a maintenance assessment to scope coverage for your facility.

FAQ: Ann Arbor Commercial HVAC & Refrigeration

Do you work on HVAC systems in Ann Arbor restaurants and bars?

Yes. Samco serves commercial kitchens, bars, and dining rooms throughout Ann Arbor’s downtown and surrounding neighborhoods. This includes rooftop HVAC units, make-up air systems, exhaust ventilation, and commercial refrigeration including walk-in coolers, reach-in units, and ice machines from Manitowoc and Hoshizaki. We handle emergency calls during and after service hours.

Can Samco service HVAC equipment at a medical office or outpatient clinic in Ann Arbor?

Yes. Medical facilities require more careful attention to air handling and temperature consistency than a standard commercial office. Samco technicians are experienced working in occupied medical office environments where noise, access timing, and system reliability all matter. We can also coordinate with building management teams on maintenance scheduling to avoid disrupting patient hours.

How quickly can you reach Ann Arbor for an emergency call?

From Livonia, Ann Arbor is typically 30 to 40 minutes depending on route and traffic. Our 24/7 dispatch at (734) 838-6300 will connect you with a live technician any time of day or night. We do not use subcontractors, so there is no waiting on a third party to pick up a call or travel from an unknown location.

Do you service buildings near the University of Michigan or Briarwood Mall?

Yes. Samco serves commercial properties throughout Ann Arbor, including the South State Street and Washtenaw Avenue corridors near Briarwood, as well as businesses near the U-M campus. We work with independently owned businesses, property management companies, and corporate-managed locations alike.

Our commercial refrigeration unit is an older model. Does Samco still repair it or do you only push replacements?

We assess each situation on its own merits. If a repair is cost-effective relative to the remaining life of the equipment, we will repair it. If a unit has reached the point where repairs are becoming frequent and expensive, we will tell you that plainly and explain what replacement options look like. We are not trying to sell equipment. We are trying to give you the information you need to make a good decision for your facility.

What is included in a PM program for an Ann Arbor restaurant with multiple pieces of refrigeration equipment?

A PM program for a restaurant kitchen typically covers all refrigeration units on a scheduled visit basis: walk-in cooler and freezer inspections including door gaskets, coil condition, refrigerant charge verification, and temperature log review; ice machine cleaning and preventive service per manufacturer specifications; and rooftop HVAC and make-up air unit service. We build the schedule around your kitchen’s operating calendar so visits happen at low-traffic times.

Can Samco help with a boiler that heats an older downtown Ann Arbor building?

Yes. Older commercial buildings in Ann Arbor’s downtown core often have hydronic heating systems with boilers that require annual service and occasional repair. Samco handles commercial boiler inspections, burner tuning, and emergency repairs. If a boiler is at end of life, we can help evaluate replacement options and coordinate the work.
