Commercial Truck HVAC Experts in Lakeland, FL
In Central Florida, a broken air conditioner isn't an inconvenience—it's a driver retention problem and a safety issue. Heat exhaustion, dehydration, and driver fatigue from operating in a hot cab are real dangers on Florida highways. At Nationwide Haul in Lakeland, FL, we provide complete HVAC service for commercial trucks, ensuring your drivers stay comfortable and focused on the road.
Our technicians are EPA 609 certified for refrigerant handling and experienced with all major truck HVAC systems including Red Dot, Bergstrom, Denso, and OEM-integrated climate systems from every major truck manufacturer. We diagnose A/C and heating issues accurately the first time, so your truck isn't bouncing between shops.
HVAC Services We Provide
A/C Diagnostics & Repair
Weak cooling, warm air on one side, or a system that only works at certain RPMs all have different root causes. We use electronic leak detectors, manifold gauges, and thermal imaging to identify the exact failure point. Common repairs include compressor replacement, condenser service, expansion valve replacement, and evaporator repair.
Refrigerant Service & Recharge
Low refrigerant is the most common cause of poor A/C performance. We recover, vacuum, and recharge systems with the correct refrigerant type and quantity. Every recharge includes a leak test to ensure the system holds pressure—there's no point adding refrigerant to a leaking system.
Heating System Repair
Even in Florida, heating systems matter for early morning starts and winter nights. We service heater cores, coolant control valves, blend door actuators, and blower motors. If your defroster isn't clearing the windshield effectively, it's a safety issue that needs immediate attention.
Bunk Heater & Sleeper HVAC
Sleeper cab climate systems are essential for driver comfort during rest periods. We service Webasto, Espar, and other auxiliary heater brands, as well as sleeper-specific A/C units. Proper sleeper HVAC reduces idle time, saving fuel and reducing engine wear.
APU HVAC Service
Auxiliary Power Units provide climate control without idling the main engine. We service Thermo King TriPac, Carrier ComfortPro, Rigmaster, and other APU systems. From compressor failures to control board issues, we keep your APU running so your driver can rest comfortably and your engine can too.
