How Mintz Heating & Cooling Transformed a 15,000 Sq. Ft. Warehouse with Efficient Cooling

Thurman Mintz • December 15, 2025

Keeping a large commercial warehouse cool in South Florida is no small task—especially with soaring temperatures, high humidity, and tall ceilings. Mintz Heating & Cooling recently partnered with a commercial property owner near Fort Lauderdale, FL to design and install a reliable, energy-efficient HVAC solution for a 15,000 square foot warehouse with 40-foot ceilings. The result? A consistently comfortable space maintained at 70°, even in peak Florida heat.

The Challenge: Cooling a Large Commercial Warehouse

Warehouses present unique HVAC challenges compared to residential spaces or small offices. In this case, the property needed a system that could:


  • Effectively cool 15,000 sq. ft. of open warehouse space
  • Handle 40-foot-high ceilings without wasting energy
  • Provide consistent temperatures for staff, equipment, and stored materials
  • Operate efficiently to keep long-term energy costs under control



Traditional warehouse HVAC systems can be expensive, inefficient, or difficult to retrofit into existing commercial buildings. That’s where Mintz Heating & Cooling’s experience with commercial property HVAC solutions made the difference.

The Solution: Mitsubishi Cassette Mini Split Systems

After carefully evaluating the warehouse layout, ceiling height, and overall cooling demands, Mintz Heating & Cooling recommended and installed Mitsubishi Cassette Mini Split Systems as a highly effective solution for this commercial warehouse. Mini split systems are especially well suited for large, open warehouse environments because they provide zoned cooling for improved temperature control, operate with high energy efficiency even in expansive spaces, and are ideal for commercial properties without existing ductwork.


Designed to perform reliably in Florida’s hot and humid climate, these systems deliver consistent comfort while maintaining quiet operation and a clean, modern ceiling-mounted appearance. By strategically placing cassette-style mini splits throughout the warehouse, the Mintz team achieved even air distribution across the entire 15,000 square foot space, ensuring comfortable temperatures without overworking the system or increasing energy costs.

Thanks to expert system design and professional installation, the warehouse now maintains a steady 70-degree indoor temperature. This creates a more comfortable environment for employees and helps protect inventory, equipment, and operations.


Project highlights include:

  • Consistent cooling across a 15,000 sq. ft. warehouse
  • Optimized performance for 40-foot ceilings
  • Energy-efficient commercial HVAC installation
  • Long-term reliability from Mitsubishi mini split technology
