For offices and businesses

Offices, labs, shops and restaurants in Santa Clara, Sunnyvale and North San Jose — where a room full of people and screens needs more cooling than the floor plan suggests.

  • Rooftop and split systems
  • Cooling for server and network rooms
  • Planned maintenance with unit records
  • Tenant improvement HVAC

Home office heat

Why is the office the hottest room in the house?

Every watt your computer, screens and lights use ends up as heat in the room — and so does the heat from you. Add them up and a small spare bedroom gains about as much heat as two or three old 100-watt bulbs left on all day.

Example: laptop + 2 monitors + you≈ 775 Btu/h

Questions

Before you call

Is Carter a painting company?

No. Brush Studio is part of our name. We work only on heating, ventilation and air conditioning.

Why is my upstairs so much warmer?

Heat rises, the roof takes the afternoon sun and returns are often downstairs. We measure airflow room by room before suggesting a fix.

Can you cool just my home office?

Often, yes. A small ductless unit or better airflow to that one room can work without over-cooling the rest of the house.

Do you work on offices and server rooms?

Yes. Rooftop units, dedicated cooling for network rooms, controls, tenant improvements and planned maintenance.

Will I see a price before work starts?

Yes. Repairs are priced in writing after diagnosis, and replacements are proposed in writing.
