Summary Content

Commercial refrigeration and HVAC equipment operates under constant strain in Florida’s heat, humidity, and extended cooling season. A failed walk-in cooler, freezer, rooftop unit, ice machine, or commercial AC system can quickly impact inventory, comfort, food safety, staff productivity, and daily operations.

Headquartered in Sarasota, Putnam Mechanical provides commercial refrigeration and HVAC services for restaurants, grocery and convenience stores, healthcare facilities, hotels, retail spaces, multi-tenant buildings, and light industrial properties across Florida’s Gulf Coast, including Collier County, Hillsborough County, Lee County, Manatee County, Pinellas County, Sarasota County and surrounding areas.

Our experts manage the full lifecycle of commercial cooling equipment, including diagnostics, repair, replacement, installation, airflow correction, controls and monitoring systems, refrigerant leak detection, compressor service, and preventative maintenance. We also provide energy efficiency upgrades, building balance, ductwork repairs, commercial HVAC repair, HVAC replacements and additions, refrigeration system installation and design, refrigeration equipment support, ice machine maintenance, and food safety and temperature compliance services.

Because refrigeration and HVAC failures rarely happen on a convenient schedule, our service is supported by 24/7 emergency response for urgent equipment issues that cannot wait.

Walk-In Cooler & Freezer Repair

Walk-In Cooler & Freezer Repair

A walk-in cooler or freezer failure puts a clock on everything inside it. Unlike most equipment failures, this one has a direct food safety deadline attached, and it often happens overnight or over a weekend, when the problem is not discovered until someone opens the door the next morning
Refrigeration System Installation & Design

Refrigeration System Installation & Design

A poorly designed refrigeration system struggles with temperature stability from the day it is installed, not because the equipment is bad, but because it was never sized correctly for the space, the product load, or the way the business actually operates. Whether you are opening a new res
Refrigeration Equipment

Refrigeration Equipment

Commercial refrigeration equipment operates around the clock, and unlike a rooftop unit failing on a warm afternoon, a failed reach-in cooler or display case puts inventory at risk the moment it stops holding temperature. Restaurants, grocery and convenience stores, and food-service operat
Commercial HVAC Repair

Commercial HVAC Repair

When a rooftop unit fails on a Florida afternoon, there’s usually little warning, one moment it’s cooling, the next it’s short-cycling, tripping breakers, or pushing warm air into a building full of customers or employees. Commercial HVAC repair has to happen quickly, but speed witho
Ductwork Repairs

Ductwork Repairs

Ductwork often goes unnoticed until there is a visible problem, yet leaking or damaged ducts are one of the most common reasons a commercial HVAC system runs constantly without ever fully cooling the building. Air that should be reaching a sales floor, kitchen, or office space can instead
Building Balance

Building Balance

A commercial HVAC system can be operating correctly and a building can still feel uncomfortable, one tenant space ten degrees colder than the one next to it, a lobby that never cools down, or a kitchen that will not maintain negative pressure against the dining room. This is rarely an equi
Compressor Repair & Replacement

Compressor Repair & Replacement

The compressor is one of the most critical components in commercial refrigeration and HVAC systems. When it fails, a walk-in cooler can lose temperature, a freezer may no longer keep product at safe levels, a rooftop unit can stop cooling, and a commercial space may quickly become uncomfor
BMS & Commercial HVAC Monitoring Systems

BMS & Commercial HVAC Monitoring Systems

Commercial refrigeration and HVAC issues often begin long before equipment completely fails. A walk-in cooler may slowly creep above its safe temperature range. A freezer may run longer than normal. A rooftop unit may struggle to satisfy a zone. A sensor may report abnormal readings after
Emergency Refrigeration Service (24/7)

Emergency Refrigeration Service (24/7)

Some HVAC and refrigeration issues can wait for a scheduled appointment. Others cannot. A walk-in cooler losing temperature overnight, a rooftop unit failing on a hundred-degree afternoon with customers in the building, or a freezer alarm going off on a Sunday will not wait for normal busi
Food Safety / Temperature Compliance Services

Food Safety / Temperature Compliance Services

A health inspector will not accept “it was probably fine” as an answer, and neither should you. Temperature compliance for refrigerated and frozen food storage is not a once-a-year concern, it is a daily operational requirement that depends entirely on refrigeration equipment performin
Preventative Maintenance

Preventative Maintenance

Most commercial refrigeration and HVAC failures rarely occur without warning. A weak capacitor, loose electrical connection, dirty condenser coil, restricted airflow, failing fan motor, clogged drain line, or changing system pressure can often be detected before it becomes an emergency. Pu
Energy Efficiency Upgrades

Energy Efficiency Upgrades

Commercial HVAC equipment is one of the largest line items on a Florida business's utility bill, and it is also one of the few that can be meaningfully reduced without sacrificing comfort. Systems that run nearly nonstop through a long cooling season offer significant opportunities for eff
HVAC Repair

HVAC Repair

Most commercial properties do not rely on just one type of HVAC or refrigeration system. A single building might have rooftop units serving the main floor, a ductless mini-split cooling a server room, a walk-in cooler supporting kitchen operations, and a multi-zone system conditioning a re
HVAC Replacements & Additions

HVAC Replacements & Additions

At some point, every commercial HVAC system reaches a stage where continued repair is no longer cost effective. It might be an aging rooftop unit that has already needed multiple repairs this year, or a building expansion or renovation that has outgrown what the existing system can support
Ice Machine Maintenance

Ice Machine Maintenance

A commercial ice machine is one of the most overlooked pieces of equipment in a restaurant, bar, or convenience store until it stops making ice during a busy shift, or until mold and mineral buildup inside it become a health code issue that no one notices until an inspection. Ice machines
Refrigerant Leak Detection & Repair

Refrigerant Leak Detection & Repair

If a commercial HVAC system is running but not cooling as effectively as it used to, low refrigerant from an undetected leak is one of the most common causes. Refrigerant does not get used up like fuel. In a properly sealed system, the charge should remain stable for the entire service lif

INDUSTRIES WE SERVE

Commercial refrigeration and HVAC needs vary by property type. A restaurant may need walk-in cooler repair, freezer temperature stability, ice machine maintenance, and kitchen airflow support. A grocery store depends on display cases, reach-in coolers, prep tables, and refrigeration systems that hold temperature consistently. A healthcare facility may need reliable comfort, humidity control, and minimal disruption during service.

Headquartered in Sarasota and serving Collier County, Hillsborough County, Lee County, Manatee County, Pinellas County, Sarasota County and surrounding areas, Putnam Mechanical supports restaurants, food-service businesses, grocery and convenience stores, healthcare and dental offices, hospitality properties, retail spaces, multi-tenant office buildings, light industrial facilities, and warehouse environments.


BUILT FOR SARASOTA’S COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS

Florida’s heat, humidity, salt air, storms, and extended cooling season place constant mechanical and electrical stress on commercial refrigeration and HVAC systems.

Compressors run longer hours. Coils corrode faster near the coast. Condensate systems work harder in high humidity. Refrigeration equipment must hold stable temperatures even during peak demand. Rooftop units, walk-in coolers, freezers, ice machines, and controls all need service tailored to Florida’s operating conditions.

Based in Sarasota, Putnam Mechanical sizes, repairs, replaces, and maintains equipment with those demands in mind instead of applying a generic HVAC approach to commercial properties across Collier, Hillsborough, Lee, Manatee, Pinellas, Sarasota and surrounding counties.
