We have installed over 180 units throughout our district. The first units were installed over three years ago. Our district has never looked back at our old equipment. We selected AIRSYS because of the HVAC units' ability to power up and provide an extra ton of heating or cooling when demand is high. They also conserve power and ramp down during low-demand periods, saving energy and conserving the longevity of the unit. These units have performed well during every season. The units' cost to purchase and install was very comparable to others in the same category. The quietness of this unit is remarkable. The warranty and extended warranty are outstanding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should schools prioritize HVAC modernization now?
Aging HVAC systems don’t just affect comfort; they impact student health, energy costs, and learning outcomes. Poor air quality, noise, and inconsistent temperatures can disrupt classrooms and strain budgets. ComfortOne offers modern, efficient solutions that address these issues while aligning with sustainability and funding goals.
What are some signs that our current HVAC system needs to be replaced?
If you're noticing rising utility bills, noisy or unreliable equipment, temperature fluctuations, or increased absenteeism, it’s time to reassess your system. Older HVAC infrastructure often can’t meet today’s standards for air quality, efficiency, and comfort, especially in schools built 30+ years ago.
Is School Air Solutions a good fit for retrofits as well as new school buildings?
Yes. School Air Solutions systems are designed with both flexibility and low disruption in mind, making them ideal for retrofitting older buildings without major renovations. At the same time, they integrate seamlessly into new construction projects, supporting long-term performance and operational savings.
How does School Air Solutions support healthier indoor environments for students and staff?
School Air Solutions is engineered with the specific health and performance needs of school communities in mind. Its systems go beyond basic ventilation by actively managing air quality, humidity, and circulation throughout the day, adjusting to occupancy levels and outdoor conditions in real time. The result is consistently cleaner air that supports cognitive function, reduces illness-related absences, and promotes focus. Combined with ultra-quiet operation, ComfortOne helps create calmer, healthier spaces where students learn better and teachers thrive.
What makes School Air Solutions different from traditional school HVAC systems?
School Air Solutions is purpose-built for K–12 schools — not adapted from residential or commercial systems. Its design simplifies integration into existing buildings, while smart controls adjust in real time to classroom conditions. A selectable ultra-quiet mode ensures minimal disruption to learning, while industry-leading efficiency reduces maintenance, supports sustainability goals, and delivers lasting value for schools.
Can School Air Solutions help us meet indoor air quality and sustainability standards?
Yes. School Air Solutions uses environmentally friendly refrigerants, supports higher energy efficiency (with IEER ratings of 18–23+), and is compatible with IAQ-focused building initiatives. These features can also help schools align with funding requirements and long-term sustainability goals.
What kind of support does AIRSYS offer after installation?
AIRSYS provides 24/7/365 service support, including preventive maintenance and responsive troubleshooting. In addition, eligible cooling units also come with an industry-leading 5-year warranty to ensure peace of mind and long-term protection. Our goal is to ensure long-term reliability and minimal downtime, so your school can stay focused on learning, and not HVAC issues. AIRSYS also offers hands-on technical training for all AIRSYS units. Explore our Technical Services Training Program to enhance your expertise.
Can I customize these units to fit my school’s needs?
Yes. All AIRSYS cooling solutions can be tailored to your facility to optimize performance, reduce power consumption, and increase operational efficiency. Talk to our specialists today to discuss the best options for your deployments.
