Commercial VFD Systems in Los Angeles

Variable Frequency Drive System Install Pasadena, CA

Smarter Motor Control for Commercial HVAC

Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) systems give you precise control over motor speed, cutting down on wasted energy while extending equipment life. Since 1969, Air-Tro has provided commercial HVAC installation and service across Los Angeles, helping businesses upgrade to VFD technology for better performance and lower operating costs.

What is a Commercial VFD System?

A VFD system manages the speed of motors in fans, pumps, and blowers used in HVAC. Instead of running constantly at full power, the motor adjusts to meet real-time demand. This means less wear and tear, fewer breakdowns, and lower utility bills. Many businesses adopt VFD systems to meet California energy standards and to improve their building’s overall performance.

Where VFD Helps the Most

VFD technology delivers the biggest benefits in applications where motors don’t need to run at full speed all the time. Systems like exhaust fans, cooling tower pumps, and large air handlers often run continuously, even when demand is low. Not only that, but for compressors, adding VFDs reduces cycling, lowers energy use during part-load conditions, and provides smoother operation. This helps avoid wear on start-up and extends the life of the system. Businesses save money on both energy bills and future repair costs, while maintaining steady comfort inside their buildings.

VFD Installation and Equipment

We install and maintain VFD systems for a wide range of commercial applications, including:

  • Exhaust Blower Motors – Improve airflow control and reduce operating costs with variable speed motor systems.
  • Make-Up Air Systems – Balance indoor air pressure while cutting unnecessary energy use.
  • Compressors – Install VFDs on compressor motors to lower energy consumption, reduce wear from frequent cycling, and improve long-term reliability
  • HVAC Fans and Blowers – Control fan speed in rooftop units, air handlers, and duct systems for improved comfort and efficiency.

Why Businesses Choose VFD Technology

Businesses choose VFD systems because they lower utility costs, extend equipment life, and provide better control over building comfort. By preventing motors from constantly running at full speed, VFDs reduce unnecessary stress, help avoid costly breakdowns, and keep energy use predictable.
