AC Rental Equipment for Restaurants

Our commercial rental fleet provides temporary cooling for dining rooms, kitchens, bars, and customer-facing spaces.

5-Ton portable AC Solution

When a dining room, kitchen, event space, or bar area needs serious cooling fast, our 5-ton portable AC solution delivers flexible, high-capacity climate control. By using multiple powerful 1.5-ton units instead of one oversized system, restaurants can cool different zones more effectively, place units where they’re needed most, and keep guests and staff comfortable during AC outages, peak dinner rushes, private events, or patio-adjacent heat issues.

1.75-Ton Water Cooled AC

For restaurants and bars where hot-air venting isn’t practical, this 1.75-ton water-cooled portable AC is a smart temporary cooling option. It’s especially useful for interior dining rooms, bars in high-rise buildings, kitchens, prep areas, or spaces without drop ceilings or easy exhaust access. Because it uses cold water instead of traditional hot-air ventilation, it can provide reliable cooling in areas where standard portable AC units may not work.

1.5-Ton AC 

This 1.5-ton portable AC and heating unit is a strong fit for restaurants, bars, commercial kitchens, banquet rooms, and larger dining areas that need dependable temporary climate control. Whether your main HVAC system is down, your kitchen is overheating, or you need extra cooling during a busy service, this portable AC rental helps keep customers comfortable and staff working safely.

1-Ton AC

This 1-ton portable AC rental is a practical choice for cooling restaurant dining rooms, bar seating areas, host stands, small kitchens, prep rooms, or employee break areas. Its compact design makes it easy to roll into tighter commercial spaces, while its quiet operation helps keep the atmosphere comfortable for guests.

Mini XL

The Mini XL portable HVAC unit is ideal for spot cooling smaller restaurant and bar spaces, including private dining rooms, host areas, offices, storage rooms, or staff areas. It offers dependable cooling in a compact footprint, making it a good choice when you need targeted temperature control without disrupting service.

Mini Cooler

The Mini Cooler is a small but effective temporary cooling unit for restaurant offices, small prep areas, storage rooms, bar backs, or other tight spaces that need steady cold air. It’s a simple solution for keeping smaller areas comfortable during HVAC issues, seasonal heat, or equipment-related temperature problems.
