Serving the Medical Industry: Commercial HVAC & Plumbing Solutions You Can Trust
In the healthcare sector, building systems are more than infrastructure, they are critical components of patient safety, infection control, and operational continuity. Hospitals, surgical centers, outpatient clinics, and long-term care facilities depend on precisely designed and expertly maintained HVAC and plumbing systems to meet the demanding requirements of patient care.
At Interstate AC, we specialize in delivering commercial HVAC and plumbing services tailored to the unique needs of medical facilities. With decades of experience, specialized training, and an uncompromising commitment to safety and compliance, we help healthcare providers create and maintain environments that are clean, safe, efficient, and fully code compliant.
Understanding the Demands of Healthcare Environments
Unlike traditional commercial buildings, healthcare facilities are governed by strict standards and regulations that impact every aspect of building operations, especially mechanical and plumbing systems. Systems must meet the guidelines of the ASHRAE standards, Joint Commission requirements, NFPA codes, and local Department of Health regulations.
For HVAC systems, that means delivering consistent, controllable airflow to critical zones like operating rooms, isolation rooms, and laboratories. For plumbing, it means ensuring potable water systems, waste lines, and medical gas infrastructure are installed and maintained with the highest level of care. We understand that even minor issues can compromise infection control measures, interrupt life-saving procedures, and impact patient recovery.
At Interstate AC, we don’t just offer HVAC and plumbing, we offer peace of mind. Our team brings specialized expertise and a problem solving mindset to every healthcare project, whether it’s a routine maintenance task, an urgent repair, or a major infrastructure upgrade.
Commercial HVAC Services for Medical Facilities
Temperature, humidity, and pressurization are essential elements in medical HVAC systems. We install, calibrate, and maintain environmental control systems for critical areas such as:
- Operating rooms
- Isolation rooms (negative pressure)
- Intensive care units
- Pharmacies and cleanrooms
- Laboratories and diagnostic imaging suites
These areas require highly specific airflow design, filtration, and exhaust strategies to maintain sterility and prevent cross contamination. Our technicians are trained to install and maintain HEPA filtration systems, ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) equipment, and demand controlled ventilation systems.
Because downtime is unacceptable in a healthcare setting, we design HVAC systems with built-in redundancy and fail safes to keep operations running even in emergencies. Our services include:
- Backup air handling units
- Emergency cooling systems
- Remote monitoring and control platforms
- 24/7 system alerts and response teams
We understand that failures can cost more than money, they can risk lives. Our preventative maintenance plans ensure that critical systems are always ready when needed.
Energy management is a growing priority for healthcare administrators. Our HVAC solutions help medical facilities reduce operational costs without sacrificing comfort or safety. We offer:
- Building automation systems (BAS) integration for central control
- Smart thermostats and sensors for zone specific energy control
- Retro-commissioning and energy audits to optimize legacy systems
- LEED consulting for sustainable mechanical system design
Our work helps medical facilities meet compliance goals, reduce carbon footprints, and unlock long term savings.
Commercial Plumbing Services for Healthcare Facilities
Medical plumbing systems must support complex workflows and highly sensitive applications. Whether you’re expanding a surgical suite, installing a dialysis station, or upgrading central sterilization systems, we deliver precise, hygienic, and code-compliant plumbing solutions. Our services include:
- Domestic water systems for patient use, sterilization, and surgical cleaning
- Sanitary waste and vent systems
- Vacuum and suction systems
- Thermostatic mixing valves for antiscalding protection
- Water softening and filtration systems
- Medical gas systems for oxygen, nitrous oxide, and vacuum applications
Our licensed plumbers follow NFPA 99 and ASSE 6010 standards for medical gas piping, ensuring patient safety and full regulatory compliance.
Infection prevention is a top priority for healthcare facilities and plumbing systems play a crucial role. Poorly maintained piping, stagnant water, and inconsistent temperatures can lead to Legionella outbreaks or contamination in sterile environments. That’s why we install and maintain systems with:
- Backflow prevention devices and annual testing
- Cross connection control
- Hot water recirculation systems to prevent stagnation
- Point-of-use filtration and sterilization
We also perform water quality testing and flushing protocols in accordance with Building automation systems (BAS) C and ASHRAE standards to ensure your water systems remain safe and clean.
Plumbing emergencies can grind operations to a halt, but our team responds fast. We offer 24/7 emergency repair services for:
- Burst pipes or flooding
- Fixture and restroom failures
- Water heater breakdowns
- Drain blockages and sewer line issues
Our fleet is fully equipped with tools and parts to minimize downtime and keep your facility operating safely.
Project Expertise in New Construction, Renovations & Retrofits
Whether you’re building a new wing, remodeling a patient care area, or upgrading outdated infrastructure, we provide full-service mechanical and plumbing contracting, from design and engineering through installation and commissioning. Our team collaborates with architects, general contractors, facility managers, and hospital compliance officers to:
- Develop phased project plans that minimize disruption to operations
- Ensure infection control risk assessments (ICRAs) are followed during construction
- Deliver clear documentation and system testing reports for regulatory review
- Complete projects on time and on budget with a focus on safety and precision
We’ve worked in some of the most demanding healthcare environments so we know how to get the job done without interrupting critical care.
