Master-Level Commercial Mechanical Contracting in Shakopee & the Twin Cities
Performance Mechanical LLC delivers master-level commercial HVAC engineering, preventative maintenance, emergency repair, and equipment replacement throughout Shakopee, Prior Lake, Savage, Chaska, Bloomington, and the southwest Twin Cities metro, extending up to a 100-mile service radius across southern Minnesota. Commercial properties—including corporate office complexes, retail centers, restaurants, light industrial warehouses, and medical clinics—demand rigorous mechanical reliability. System failures do not just cause discomfort; they disrupt employee productivity, drive customers away, violate lease agreements, and risk costly freeze-ups. Owned and operated by master mechanical contractor Wil Fonder, Performance Mechanical brings union pipefitter craft and advanced technical diagnostics to commercial mechanical systems. Wil earned his AAS degree in HVAC/R System Servicing from Dunwoody College of Technology, served a comprehensive five-year apprenticeship with St. Paul Pipefitters Local 455, and holds Universal EPA Section 608 Certification. Call (213) 423-7827 to speak directly with Wil Fonder.
Packaged Rooftop Units (RTUs): Service, Curbs & Economizer Balancing
Packaged rooftop units (RTUs)—ranging from 3 to 25+ tons—are the primary heating and cooling workhorses for commercial buildings in Scott County. Performance Mechanical services all major commercial brands, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Daikin, and York. We diagnose and service dual-stage 3-phase scroll compressors, variable frequency drives (VFDs), modulating gas heat exchangers, and belt-driven centrifugal supply blowers. In particular, we specialize in repairing and calibrating Title 24 and ASHRAE 90.1 commercial economizers. In Minnesota's sub-zero climate, failed economizer actuators or seized damper linkages frequently stick open, drawing -10°F air directly across heating sections, wasting thousands in natural gas, and tripping freeze-protection stats. When equipment replacement is required, we field-measure and install custom heavy-gauge galvanized roof curb adapters, enabling direct unit swaps without costly re-roofing or structural framing modifications.
Make-Up Air Units (MAUs) & Commercial Kitchen Ventilation
Commercial kitchens, automotive facilities, and manufacturing spaces exhaust immense volumes of air every minute. When exhaust air is not properly replenished, buildings develop severe negative air pressure. Negative pressure causes exterior doors to slam shut or become impossible to pull open, pulls sewer gases through floor drains, and backdrafts atmospheric water heater flues. Performance Mechanical designs, installs, and services direct-fired and indirect-fired make-up air units (MAUs). We balance kitchen Type 1 grease exhaust hood CFM per NFPA 96 and Minnesota Mechanical Code (Chapter 1346) requirements. Furthermore, we calibrate Maxitrol electronic gas modulation valves and discharge temperature sensors, ensuring incoming sub-zero winter air is tempered smoothly to 55°F–65°F without temperature hunting or burner lockouts.
Commercial Chillers, Hydronic Boilers & Chilled Water Loops
For large commercial properties and industrial facilities utilizing hydronic heating and chilled water loops, Performance Mechanical provides specialized pipefitting expertise. We service air-cooled scroll chillers, condensing hydronic boiler cascades (such as Lochinvar and Weil-McLain systems), commercial plate-and-frame heat exchangers, and 3-way modulating mixing valves. Leveraging St. Paul Pipefitters Local 455 training, Wil Fonder handles welded carbon steel, grooved Victaulic, and copper pipefitting with precision. We service Taco and Bell & Gossett base-mounted centrifugal pumps, align mechanical shaft couplings, bleed air from multi-story hydronic loops, and test closed-loop inhibited propylene glycol concentrations using digital refractometers to guarantee freeze-burst protection down to -30°F.
Light Commercial VRF Systems & Multi-Tenant Zoning
Modern office suites, medical clinics, and multi-tenant retail buildings frequently require simultaneous heating in north-facing perimeter rooms while interior conference rooms demand cooling. Performance Mechanical installs and services Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF/VRV) heat recovery systems and light commercial multi-split heat pumps. These systems utilize inverter-driven variable-speed compressors and electronic expansion valves (EEVs) to modulate refrigerant flow precisely to each indoor cassette. We troubleshoot communicating microprocessor boards, electronic branch selectors, and building automation system (BAS) gateways using BACnet and Modbus protocols, ensuring optimal zone-by-zone comfort and maximum energy efficiency.
Custom Planned Maintenance Agreements & Priority Emergency Response
Unscheduled commercial mechanical outages represent immediate financial loss. Performance Mechanical tailors customized commercial preventative maintenance agreements designed around your equipment inventory and operational schedule. Our multi-point commercial inspections include quarterly belt replacements, filter changes, condenser and evaporator chemical washdowns, electrical contactor resistance testing, motor amp-draw audits, combustion analysis, and economizer stroke checks. Commercial clients enjoy priority 24/7 emergency dispatch and guaranteed response windows. Upfront flat-rate contract pricing means no hidden trip fees or surprise surcharges.

Real Words From Twin Cities Homeowners
Our reputation is built on one honest install and repair at a time. Here is what real customers say about working directly with Wil Fonder.
“Replaced Furnace & Took Care of Rebates”
Excellent install, came prepared for everything, was friendly to the cat who wouldn’t leave him alone. Took care of rebate and registration paperwork so I wouldn’t have to. Only replaced the furnace - didn’t try to upsell me on components that were still functional.

“Thank you Robert for the great review! Thank you for allowing our company to take care of your mechanical needs!”
“Diagnosed Ongoing Furnace Shutdown Within Minutes”
Experienced ongoing furnace issues and others tried, but could not properly diagnose why it continued shutting down. One of my sons, an experienced Pipefitter, referred me to Will Fonder based on knowing and working with him. Thank God! Will was able to diagnose and fix the issues within minutes. He holds expert level knowledge, patiently answered my many questions, and is simply an exceptional person - all of these qualities are very rare today. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

“Picked Up Water Heater on the Way & Restored Hot Water”
Wil is the best! We have used him twice now. This last time our water heater went out and he picked up one on his way to replace ours, he answered all my questions prior to coming as far as what he advised we replace the old with. He arrived right when he said he would, got everything replaced and everything was clean and we had hot water in no time. Best guy in the Twin Cities!
