Sarasota, Florida's Licensed Refrigeration, HVAC and Ventilation Specialists.

Putnam Mechanical is a licensed commercial refrigeration, HVAC and ventilation contractor headquartered in Sarasota, Florida (License # CAC1819526). We repair, install, replace and maintain walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-in coolers and display cases, ice machines, rooftop units, split and multi-zone HVAC systems, compressors, ductwork, ventilation systems, and controls and monitoring systems for commercial properties across Florida's Gulf Coast. We have served Florida businesses for more than 45 years.

Yes. Putnam Mechanical provides 24-hour emergency commercial refrigeration, HVAC and ventilation service with fast dispatch, on-site diagnostics, and clear repair recommendations. A walk-in cooler losing temperature overnight, a freezer alarm going off on a Sunday, an ice machine failure, a rooftop unit shutting down, or a ventilation issue affecting airflow and building pressure all qualify for priority dispatch. Call 941-280-4440.

From our Sarasota headquarters we serve Bonita Springs, Bradenton, Brandon, Cape Coral, Clearwater, Estero, Fort Myers, Lakewood Ranch, Largo, Naples, North Port, Riverview, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Tampa and Venice, as well as Collier County, Hillsborough County, Lee County, Manatee County, Pinellas County, Sarasota County, and surrounding areas.

Restaurants, grocery and convenience stores, healthcare facilities, hotels and hospitality properties, retail spaces, office buildings, and light industrial properties. Our team partners with business owners, property managers, facility teams, and multi-site operators to deliver essential repairs, replacements, system upgrades, and ongoing maintenance with minimal disruption to daily operations.

Same-day service is available, and emergencies receive priority dispatch 24 hours a day. Our trucks carry stocked HVAC and refrigeration parts, so many failures are diagnosed and repaired on the first visit rather than waiting on a parts order.

Florida heat, humidity, coastal salt air, high occupancy, kitchen exhaust demands, and building pressure problems place constant stress on refrigeration equipment, rooftop units, ventilation systems, condensers, compressors, ductwork, controls, and electrical components.

Gulf Coast equipment runs longer duty cycles under heavier load than the same equipment would in a cooler climate, so coil fouling, corrosion, refrigerant leaks, and electrical fatigue all appear sooner than the manufacturer's service life would suggest.

Yes. You understand the issue, the available repair options, and the pricing before any work begins. We also diagnose root cause first, which reduces repeat failures and unnecessary repairs rather than billing you twice for the same problem.

Yes. Temperature compliance for refrigerated and frozen food storage is a daily operational requirement, not a once-a-year concern, and it depends entirely on refrigeration equipment performing correctly. We service that equipment, document the work for your records and compliance needs, and can pair maintenance with controls and monitoring that flag temperature drift before product is at risk.

Yes. Most commercial refrigeration and HVAC failures give warning signs first: a weak capacitor, a loose electrical connection, a dirty condenser coil, restricted airflow, a failing fan motor, a clogged drain line, or changing system pressure. Scheduled preventative maintenance is how those conditions get found on a Tuesday morning instead of during a Saturday dinner rush.

Yes. Putnam Mechanical is a licensed Florida mechanical contractor (License # CAC1819526) and our technicians are licensed, insured and EPA-certified. Refrigeration, HVAC, ventilation, controls, compressors and ductwork are all serviced to Florida code.
