Local climate & utility notes
Los Gatos dining rooms — downtown storefronts and hillside patios — collide glass loads, evening rushes, and kitchen exhaust that will wreck comfort if makeup air is an afterthought. Foothill evenings run cooler than the valley floor, but peak summer afternoons still hammer condensers on tight roofs. Write hood CFM, tempered MUA, walk-in scope boundaries, and PG&E demand reality into the same schedule as health-department timing.

FAQs for Los Gatos PMs
Should Los Gatos restaurant HVAC and refrigeration be one bid?
Whenever possible — orphaned walk-in scopes create opening-week gaps. Precision Heating & Cooling can coordinate comfort HVAC with commercial refrigeration repair when scopes align. Call (408) 642-8674.
What climate note should Los Gatos food-service RFPs include?
Afternoon peak heat plus cool evening recovery — and makeup air tempering so raw OA does not punish staff when marine air drops at night.
