Coil cleaning
Evaporator and condenser coils cleaned to restore heat-exchange efficiency lost to grease and dust.

Belt drives tensioned, bearings lubricated, motor electrical connections tightened, no-slip operation verified.
Refrigerant check
Refrigerant charge measured, leaks tested, system pressures verified within manufacturer specification.
Make-up air balance

Professional HVAC & Make-Up Air for College Park businesses
College Park kitchen HVAC service covers the University of Maryland campus dining ecosystem, the Route 1 / Baltimore Avenue student-dining corridor, Old Town College Park, and the Hollywood / Hyattsville border. We service College Park with PGFD-aligned air-balance documentation and 60-minute response from Sterling.
College Park kitchen HVAC service splits between institutional UMD campus dining (multi-zone HVAC with night-only service windows) and Route 1 / Baltimore Avenue student-dining operations with academic-cycle filter-load swings. UMD dining halls operate institutional-scale MUA infrastructure shared across the campus. Most Route 1 student-dining restaurants run standard packaged HVAC on quarterly PM cadence with accelerated filter checks during September–May peak.
Local Compliance: Prince George's County and the IMC require MUA capacity matched to exhaust CFM. Our College Park air-balance reports meet PGFD documentation expectations on the first submission.

HVAC & Make-Up Air Insights
The Real Cost of Opening a Restaurant in Northern Virginia in 2026
