Commercial HVAC in Draper, for facility teams.
By Tyler Wayne, FMP · Working B2B HVAC Rep on the Wasatch Front · Salt Lake County · Updated October 2026
Commercial HVAC in Draper covers tech and office campuses near the Point of the Mountain, retail, medical offices and newer buildings growing around The Point. Wind at the south end of the valley and plenty of newer equipment shape the maintenance plan here.
Buildings and equipment in Draper
Office and tech campuses near the Point of the Mountain run rooftop units and some central systems, often with server rooms that need cooling around the clock. Retail and medical buildings run packaged rooftop units. A lot of construction is recent, so many systems are still early in their life.
What's different in Draper
- The Point of the Mountain is a windy spot. Check that rooftop unit panels and access doors are latched and that nothing loose is on the roof.
- Newer buildings should track warranty dates. See first year HVAC questions in a new building.
- Most buildings here are on Rocky Mountain Power for electricity and Enbridge Gas Utah for natural gas.
- Equipment replacements usually need a mechanical permit from Draper City. Part of Draper reaches into Utah County, so confirm which side a building is on.
Preventative maintenance in Draper
Most commercial buildings in Draper do well with two to four visits a year: a cooling startup in spring, a heating startup in fall, and filters on a set schedule with extra checks through the winter. Late spring cottonwood fluff is worth a coil cleaning on its own.
The full schedule and task lists are in commercial HVAC preventative maintenance in Utah, and the fall list is in the Utah winter startup checklist.
HVAC repairs in Draper
Summer repairs in Draper are usually capacitors, contactors, dirty condenser coils and refrigerant leaks. Winter repairs are usually ignition problems, flame sensors, cracked heat exchangers and frozen coils. Before you call, check the schedule, the breaker, the filter and any error codes.
See commercial HVAC repairs: what to check before you call, and if a unit keeps coming back, repair or replace a 15 year old rooftop unit.
Replacing equipment in Draper
New rooftop units and split systems now use refrigerants like R-454B and R-32. Plan for lead times, the curb, the crane day and a mechanical permit from Draper. Read the refrigerant change before you order.
