Our installation process begins with a thorough assessment of your commercial building’s cooling and heating loads. We evaluate existing ductwork connections, electrical service capacity, and structural support to ensure your building can safely accommodate the new equipment. This detailed planning helps us avoid costly surprises during the actual installation.
The physical installation involves safely removing the old unit, preparing the mounting curbs and supports, and positioning the new rooftop package using appropriate rigging equipment. Our technicians connect refrigerant lines, ductwork, electrical wiring, and control systems according to manufacturer specifications and local code requirements. For buildings that may eventually need alternative systems, we also offer RTU replacement services as buildings evolve.
After installation, we commission the system by checking refrigerant charge, testing airflow across all vents, verifying thermostat communication, and confirming that safety controls function properly. We walk property owners through the new equipment’s operation and maintenance requirements so your staff can keep the system running efficiently for years to come.
How long does rooftop unit installation take?
Most commercial rooftop unit installations take 2-5 days depending on the complexity of the project. Simple like-for-like replacements on accessible roofs may be completed in a day or two, while new installations requiring structural preparation, ductwork modifications, and electrical upgrades can take a full week or longer.
Will installing a rooftop unit damage my building’s roof?
When done correctly by experienced technicians, rooftop unit installation does not damage your roof. We use proper mounting curbs and supports that distribute the unit’s weight across structural elements rather than concentrating load on the roofing membrane. We also take care to seal all penetrations properly to prevent water intrusion.
What’s the difference between rooftop unit installation and RTU replacement?
RTU replacement typically refers to swapping out an existing packaged rooftop unit with a new one of similar size and configuration. Rooftop unit installation can include new construction, additions, or complex reconfiguration projects where the existing setup doesn’t dictate the new system’s specifications.
How do I know if my roof can support a rooftop unit?
Our team assesses roof structure during the initial consultation. We look at roof deck construction, support beam spacing, and calculate load capacity against the weight of potential units. Most commercial roofs with standard construction can support rooftop units, but we identify any necessary structural reinforcement before installation begins.
Can I install a more efficient unit to reduce operating costs?
Yes, upgrading to a higher-efficiency rooftop unit often provides meaningful savings on energy bills, especially for buildings in Western Pennsylvania including Western Pennsylvania including the Pittsburgh area, Monroeville, Murrysville, Monroeville, Murrysville that run cooling systems heavily during humid summers. Higher-efficiency units typically carry higher upfront costs but may qualify for utility rebates and provide faster payback through reduced operating expenses. We help you evaluate whether the efficiency upgrade makes financial sense for your specific situation.
