Overview
HVAC Built for Commercial Kitchens
Restaurants are tough on HVAC. Your hood pulls thousands of cubic feet of air out of the building every minute, the cooking line adds heat, and the dining room still has to stay comfortable through a Myrtle Beach summer.
A&A installs and replaces commercial HVAC equipment — rooftop units, make-up air units, and split systems — for restaurants and commercial buildings. Because we also service kitchen exhaust systems, we understand how your hood and HVAC need to work together.
What’s Included
- Load assessment for your building and kitchen
- Rooftop unit (RTU) installation and replacement
- Make-up air unit (MAU) installation
- Split system installation
- Exhaust and make-up air balancing
- Removal and disposal of old equipment

Why It Matters
Make-Up Air: The Piece Most Kitchens Miss
Every cubic foot of air your hood exhausts has to be replaced. When it isn’t, the building goes into negative pressure — and you’ll notice:
- Doors that are hard to open or slam shut
- Smoke spilling out of the hood instead of being captured
- Drafts, hot spots, and uncomfortable dining rooms
- Pilot lights blowing out and water heaters back-drafting
- HVAC units running constantly and wearing out early
A properly sized make-up air unit brings fresh, tempered air back in so your hood captures smoke effectively and your dining room stays comfortable. Adding or enlarging a hood? Make-up air should be part of the plan.

Questions & Answers
Commercial HVAC Installation FAQ
What is a make-up air unit?
A make-up air unit replaces the air your kitchen hood exhausts. Without one, the building goes into negative pressure, which reduces hood performance and makes doors, drafts, and comfort problems worse.
Do you install HVAC for businesses other than restaurants?
Yes. We install commercial HVAC systems for restaurants, retail spaces, offices, and other commercial buildings.
Should we replace our rooftop unit or keep repairing it?
Age, repair history, efficiency, and whether the unit is still sized correctly all matter. We’ll assess your equipment and give you an honest recommendation.
Can you coordinate HVAC with a new hood installation?
Yes. Because we also handle hoods and fire suppression, we can plan exhaust, make-up air, and HVAC together so everything works as one system.
