Southern California-based commercial HVAC service grounded in experience, built on relationships, and focused on long-term performance.
Gardner Air was started in 2006 by Dirk Gardner, a service-first HVAC expert with over 30 years in the field. He built the company around one simple belief: do the job right, every time. Today, Gardner Air supports commercial facilities across Southern California with certified technicians, responsive office staff, and experienced supervisors who train bi-weekly to stay sharp. We hold California contractor licenses B, C20, and C4, and specialize in systems that need reliable solutions built for long-term performance.

Rather than just fixing problems, we prevent them. Gardner Air’s maintenance programs are built to reduce breakdowns, improve performance, and cut operating costs over time. All of our technicians are NATE-certified and trained through the NCI, while our supervisors and office team meet bi-weekly to stay sharp. Whether we’re servicing chillers, ductless systems, or custom built-up equipment, we approach every job with the same goal: deliver HVAC solutions you can count on.
Gardner Air has worked with clients across Southern California in industries ranging from education to warehousing. Our team has delivered HVAC solutions for private colleges, distribution centers, and multi-tenant commercial properties. Every job reflects our commitment to system efficiency, building comfort, and professional integrity.
