Readings, not adjectives
Pressures, temperatures, amp draws and static pressure recorded per unit, so the next technician starts from data instead of starting over.

Most commercial buildings in the country run on packaged rooftop equipment. It fails in predictable ways, so it can be serviced on a predictable schedule.
What we service
Repair it, replace it, maintain it
Seven service lines, each with its own scope and its own schedule. Pick the one that matches what the building needs.
01
Open Planned maintenance
A written visit schedule built around your equipment list, your occupancy hours and your budget cycle.
02
Open Emergency repair
One number, answered by a person, any hour.
03
Open Rooftop units
Packaged rooftop units carry most commercial buildings in the United States, and they fail in predictable ways.
04
Open Chillers
Central plant work needs technicians who have opened the machine before.
05
Open Air quality
Air quality complaints are usually a ventilation or humidity problem wearing a different name.
06
Open Replacement and new systems
Putting in new equipment is a project, not a service call.
07
Open Split and ductless systems
Not every office runs on a rooftop unit.
Every system a commercial building runs
Heating and cooling, small and large. If it conditions air in your building, it is on this list, and the technician sent to it is certified on that class of equipment.
Equipment not listed here is still worth a call. Tell us the nameplate and we will say yes or no honestly rather than send someone to learn on your building.
Split systems and ductless mini splits
The wall and ceiling cassette units on individual offices, server closets and conference rooms.
VRF and VRV multi zone systems
One outdoor unit feeding many zones, with controls that need a technician who knows the brand.
Packaged rooftop units
The workhorse of most commercial buildings in the country, from single units to full fleets.
Air cooled and water cooled chillers
Central plants, pumps, cooling towers and the loop that ties them together.
Heat pumps
Air source and water source, including the changeover faults that only show up in shoulder season.
Gas furnaces and boilers
Heat exchangers, ignition, combustion safety checks and the winter no heat call.
Air handlers and fan coils
Belts, bearings, coils, drain pans and the balance problems that cause zone complaints.
Computer room and precision cooling
Server rooms and MDF closets, where humidity matters as much as temperature.
Exhaust and make up air ventilation
Restroom and kitchen exhaust, make up air units and outside air compliance.
Nothing starts before you approve a price
Four steps, every call, whether it is a contract visit or a compressor down at nine on a Sunday night.
- Request
Tell us the building and the symptom
Two minutes on the form or one call. Address, equipment if you know it, and what the building is doing wrong.
- Scope
Fee and arrival window confirmed
Before anyone is dispatched you have the diagnostic fee, the arrival window and the name of the contractor assigned.
- Diagnose
Findings, photographs and a price
The technician diagnoses on site and sends you the cause, the photographs and a fixed repair price for approval.
- Report
Work completed and documented
The repair is completed after your approval, and the report is filed against the site so the history follows the building.
How we stay cheaper
Three billing policies, written into the contract
We do not publish a price list, because a rooftop unit in Phoenix and a chiller in Chicago are not the same job. We publish the policies that decide what your invoice looks like.
- 01
Flat rate diagnostics
One quoted fee covers travel and diagnosis, and it comes off the repair when you approve the work. No hourly clock running while a technician walks the roof.
- 02
Parts at supplier cost
The supplier invoice is attached to yours. Our margin sits in the labour line where you can see it, not hidden inside a part number you cannot price check.
- 03
No after hours premium on contracts
Contract sites pay the same diagnostic rate at two in the morning as at two in the afternoon, and pay no trip charge on scheduled visits.
Parts billed at supplier cost with the invoice attached. Your exact rates are set in the proposal after the walkthrough, and they are fixed for the contract term.
What actually lands in your inbox
The deliverable is documentation. It is what turns a repair into something you can budget, defend and hand to an owner.
Photographs of the actual part
Before and after images attached to the invoice. You can see the failed component without climbing onto a roof.
An asset list that survives staff turnover
Model, serial, tonnage, install year and condition per unit. When your facilities lead changes, the building history does not leave with them.
Start here
Tell us the building and the symptom
Dispatch reads every request. If it reads as an emergency it is treated as one, and someone calls you rather than emailing you.
- No obligation and no sales sequence attached to the form
- The diagnostic fee is confirmed before anyone is dispatched
- Multi site portfolios get a single scope covering every location
Dispatch answers 24 hours a day, seven days a week
The things facility managers ask first
Do you cover the entire United States?
Yes. Kelvin Mechanical coordinates a network of licensed local mechanical contractors. Dispatch, scope, reporting and billing are handled centrally, and the physical work is performed by a contractor licensed in that state.
What does the diagnostic visit cost?
A flat rate quoted to you before a technician is dispatched. It covers travel and the diagnosis, and it is credited toward the repair when you approve the work. There is no separate trip charge on top of it.
How do you keep costs lower than a traditional contractor?
Three policies. Parts are billed at supplier cost with the invoice attached instead of marked up. Contract sites pay no after hours premium and no trip charge. Diagnostics are a flat rate rather than an open hourly clock.
How fast can someone be on site?
The arrival window is confirmed on the call, before dispatch, based on your location and the current crew position. We quote a window we can hold rather than a number that sounds good on a website.
Do I need a maintenance contract to call you?
No. One off repair calls are welcome. Contract sites get priority scheduling, no trip charge and no after hours premium, which is why most multi building clients move onto an agreement after the first year.
Who is licensed and insured, you or the local contractor?
The contractor performing the work holds the mechanical license required in that state, and carries general liability and workers compensation coverage. Certificates are provided per site before the first visit.
