SIMPLE, FAST, RELIABLE
How HVAC Repair Works
Here’s what happens from your first call until your kitchen and dining room are comfortable again.
Call or Request Online
Call 508-419-9010 or request service online. Tell us whether the problem is cooling, heating, the hood or the whole building’s airflow, and what you’re noticing: warm air, smoke in the kitchen, doors that are hard to open, water in the ceiling. Those details point the technician to the right system.
Rapid Dispatch
We send a technician who covers your town and knows kitchen HVAC. In July, a rooftop unit down in a Hyannis dining room or a make up air failure in a Falmouth kitchen gets prioritized, because a dining room at 85 degrees empties fast and a kitchen without exhaust can’t safely cook.
Diagnose & Repair
On the roof and in the kitchen, the technician checks the whole air system, not just the unit that failed: coils, refrigerant, belts, motors, burners and the balance between exhaust and make up air. Repairs are made with parts from the van when they’re stocked, and refrigerant work follows EPA Section 608 rules.
Test, Document, & Follow Up
Before sign off, the technician confirms supply air temperature, heat operation or hood capture under real cooking conditions. The work is documented for your records and backed by Harris Warren’s 90 day parts and labor guarantee. If the same problem returns within 90 days, we come back.
THE HARRIS-WARREN DIFFERENCE
Why Choose Harris Warren For HVAC?
Most HVAC contractors don’t work on cooking equipment, and most kitchen equipment companies don’t work on rooftops. Here’s why Cape Cod operators trust Harris Warren with both.
Highly Skilled Technicians
Harris Warren technicians train through Tech24 University and understand how kitchen equipment and building air systems affect each other, including why an exhaust hood, a make up air unit and a fryer pilot can all be the same problem.
We Stock the Most Commonly Used Parts
Vans carry the HVAC parts that fail most in commercial kitchens: belts, capacitors, contactors, fan motors, igniters, flame sensors, filters and common refrigerants, so more calls end on the first visit.
90-Day Guarantee
Every repair is backed by Harris-Warren’s 90-day guarantee on parts and labor. If the same problem returns within 90 days, we come back and fix it at no charge.
Planned Maintenance Programs
Scheduled coil cleaning, belt and filter changes, refrigerant and gas pressure checks, burner and heat exchanger inspection, and exhaust and make up air balance checks. Seasonal kitchens can book a spring startup and a fall shutdown visit.
All Fuel Types & Configurations
Natural gas, propane, electric and heat pump systems, from rooftop package units over the dining room to split systems in the ceiling, including the propane heat common in Cape towns without a gas main.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HVAC Repair FAQ
Answers to the questions we hear most about commercial HVAC and exhaust system repair. Don’t see yours? Give us a call.
Yes. Harris Warren provides commercial HVAC services and repair from its West Yarmouth office across Barnstable and Plymouth Counties. That covers Hyannis, Dennis, Falmouth, Mashpee, Sandwich and Harwich Port, and across the Cape Cod Canal to Wareham and Plymouth.
We focus on commercial kitchens and the buildings around them: rooftop units and split systems for dining rooms, and the exhaust and make up air systems that keep kitchens safe to cook in.
Yes. Harris Warren services HVAC, kitchen exhaust and make up air alongside your cooking, refrigeration, ice, beverage and dish equipment, so one team and one number cover the kitchen and the air above it.
That matters because kitchen problems often cross the line. A fryer pilot that keeps going out, a hood that won’t pull smoke and a dining room that won’t cool can all trace back to air balance. One team can see the whole picture instead of each vendor blaming the other.
NFPA 96, the fire code for commercial kitchen ventilation, sets hood and duct cleaning by cooking volume: monthly for solid fuel cooking, quarterly for high volume operations such as charbroiling or 24 hour cooking, twice a year for moderate volume and yearly for low volume.
Grease duct cleaning is done by a certified hood cleaning company. Harris Warren services the mechanical side: exhaust fans, belts, motors and make up air units. Fan and make up air checks fit naturally into the same schedule, so the system is cleaned and running properly at the same time.
Repair makes sense when the unit is sound and the fault is a motor, capacitor, belt or control. Consider replacing when the compressor or heat exchanger fails on an older unit, when the cabinet and coils are badly corroded, or when it runs on R-22, which is no longer produced.
New units now use lower impact refrigerants under EPA rules, so replacement changes what you’ll pay for future service. Massachusetts businesses may also qualify for Mass Save incentives on high efficiency equipment and heat pumps. Your technician can price repair and replacement side by side.
Salt air corrodes condenser coils, cabinets and electrical connections faster near the water, and nor’easters drive rain and spray into units. Coastal rooftop equipment often wears out sooner than the same unit inland.
Regular coil cleaning, inspecting cabinets and drain pans after storm season, and choosing coated coils or corrosion resistant cabinets when replacing all extend equipment life. Your technician can point out which units are most exposed.
At closing, make sure the building stays above freezing if water lines remain, filters are changed and rooftop units are secured for winter storms. At reopening, book a startup visit to clean coils, change belts and filters, test heat and cooling, and balance exhaust and make up air.
The spring visit is the one that matters most. The first hot weekend is not when you want to learn a compressor or exhaust fan didn’t survive the winter.
