COAC was founded in 1972 by Farrokh Cooper and Marvin “Buzz” Oates as Buzz Oates Air Conditioning to install and

service commercial buildings primarily built by Buzz and his partners. Over the years we expanded considerably to work with many of the leading commercial General Contractors, Building Owners, Property Managers and Tenants in the Sacramento Valley region. On July 1, 2007, to celebrate our 35th year in business and to honor both co-founders, we changed our name to Cooper Oates Air Conditioning.

We have embarked on a strategy of deliberate and profitable growth that calls for us to build on our fourty years of high quality work, honesty and personal integrity. Today, our focus is still on commercial HVAC, working with contractors on new construction as well as providing service to building owners, property managers and tenants. Our service area is generally defined by a 150-mile radius from our office in Sacramento, covering the Greater Sacramento and San Joaquin Valley although we do work beyond that range when requested by our customers. Our service lines include design-build, plan and spec, preventative maintenance and service, remote diagnostics and controls, and power management. We have a full-line sheet metal shop that fabricates for our projects.

Since we first opened our doors in 1972 we have been partnering with our customers in the Sacramento Valley region to help them increase the return on investment in their buildings. Our belief in the importance of focusing on life-cycle costs of the air conditioning systems allows us to provide value throughout the design-build-service-operations continuum. In many instances, we installed the HVAC system for a building, have serviced it over its life, and replaced it when it reached the end of its useful life over the past three decades. We expect to live with the quality of our workmanship and to stand behind it, over the long run, so it is always our goal to “do it right, first and fast.” We are committed to working in this region and are committed to this business so we expect to stand by our work for generations to come.

We work to develop a climate of collaboration and partnering with our customers by providing them with solutions to their indoor environmental needs at every stage of the building life-cycle. We believe that every successful project requires a team approach among all members including the owner, designers, general contractors and sub contractors. We pride ourselves in our ability to be part of a team, both as a follower and as a leader, depending on the circumstances and the job requirements.

Our History of Integrity and Value


OUR VISIONCreate enduring value

for every customer through our craftsmanship and integrity.

OUR VALUESWe believe in:

Exceeding ExpectationsIntegrity

ProfessionalismTeamwork

Continuous Learning

OUR MISSIONWe are committed to maximizing

our clients return on their building investments through

efficient design,effective construction,

exceptional craftsmanship, and unrivaled professional service

of their HVAC systems.

Our Project Approachand PhilosophyManage the full life-cycleOur fundamental philosophy and business model is predicated on working with our customers to control the full life-cycle cost of their air conditioning systems through efficient design, effective construction, dependable service and quality craftsmanship delivered by skilled professionals. We don’t believe in taking short-cuts for the sake of expediency or ephemeral savings.

Our approach on any project is to provide our customers with the best available alternatives and sufficient data with which to make informed decisions during the design process. The typical trade-offs that are required in mechanical systems include whether to install new or re-use existing equipment, occupant comfort requirements, energy savings, speed of installation, first costs and life-cycle costs. We engage in a constructive dialogue with our customers about these alternatives and assist in the decision making process.

Once a decision is made we will do our very best to make sure that our customers’ requirements and objectives are met as the construction process evolves. Once the installation work is complete we work with the customer or their representative to commission the equipment so that they can be ensured that it is operating the way everyone agreed it should. Since we typically service what we install, we make every effort to ensure that the installation and commissioning of the project is completed successfully.

After all systems are fully operational and the building is occupied, we provide regularly scheduled preventative maintenance under contract to the owner. Our objective is to maintain the operating integrity of the systems, ensure the quality of the indoor air environment, monitor the quality of water treatment for the cooling tower and indoor water loop and, where installed, monitor the building’s digital controls and power consumption.

Green Design ToolsLEED AccreditedCOAC is well versed in designing systems for minimal first costs while enabling efficient life-cycle costs. The tools our LEED accredited professionals use include the following software and resources for our design and analysis:

Trane TRACE 700™Trane TRACE 700™ software is the industry standard program for completing load, system, energy and

economic analysis. TRACE 700™ compares the energy and economic impact of such building alternatives as HVAC systems,

architectural features, building utilization and life-cycle cost. Trace 700™ facilitates analysis of the energy and economic effects of virtually any HVAC configuration by allowing users to manipulate a wide range of variables and creating a building specific profile.

EnergyPro™ EnergyPro™ is the industry standard program for

calculating Title-24 energy compliance. This is the same software used by utility companies for calculating energy savings. EnergyPro™ uses calculations based on Department

of Energy and Time of Use algorithms to meet compliance standards. EnergyPro ™ calculates energy trade-offs between various building components to determine Title-24 compliance and overall energy use.

pTABS™pTabs™ is COAC’s exclusive Power Tracking & Billing System that has been successfully installed in 12 large commercial buildings throughout

California. Through COAC’s pTabs™ property managers receive monthly data on each tenant’s power use for computers, lighting, HVAC systems, and other dedicated equipment. This power tracking and billing system is exceptionally valuable for large buildings with Class A tenants because power is tracked for both lease hours and after-hours use. This database of real-time building performance is a powerful resource when performing life-cycle cost analysis. While most companies only have access to software to predict possible energy use, COAC’s pTabs™ database provides historical data to hone any energy calculation and increase the return on the building investments.

Historical RunTime & Service DataExperience increases your

Buildings ROI. COAC has been managing, maintaining, and repairing commercial air conditioning systems for 40 years. Our extensive service and maintenance history is a priceless tool when designing new systems, diagnosing chronic problems and forecasting maintenance and repair costs for commercial HVAC systems. Let our knowledge work for you.
