Rooftop Unit Installation
Rooftop systems are available for cooling, heating, or combined heat & AC operation, with configurations selected based on building size and operating demands. Types of units include air-to-air systems, gas-fired units or geothermal configurations where conditions allow. We sell and install a variety of makes and models to best suit our clients’ needs.
Rooftop AC Units
Rooftop air conditioning units deliver centralized cooling while preserving interior space. In some applications, only an AC unit is needed, such as in older buildings where heating is adequate but cooling is nonexistent.
Rooftop Heating Units
Rooftop heating units provide reliable, high-capacity heat in an accessible area. If it’s time for a heating upgrade, and you want to limit disruptions in your building, a commercial RTU may be your best option.
Rooftop Unit Repair
Like all HVAC systems, rooftop units are not immune to wear and tear, which can affect heating and cooling output. In addition, the roof condition and site factors such as exposure, weather damage, and solar orientation may also impact performance.
Our team provides professional RTU repair services for systems affected by wear, weather, or performance issues. We assess both the unit and building conditions to address problems early and restore the heating and cooling that your occupants rely on.

Contact UsRooftop HVAC units are commonly called RTUs, or rooftop units. They are packaged heating, cooling, and ventilation systems installed on the roof of a commercial or industrial building.
RTUs can provide heating, cooling, or both in a single centralized system.
The best commercial HVAC system depends on the building’s:
- Size
- Layout
- Occupancy
- Heating and cooling requirements
- Energy goals
- Budget
Rooftop units (RTUs) are a popular choice because they provide centralized heating and cooling while saving valuable interior space.
A professional HVAC contractor can assess the building and recommend the most suitable system.
The four common types of HVAC systems are split systems, packaged systems, ductless mini-split systems, and hybrid or dual-fuel systems. Commercial buildings may also use specialized systems such as:
- Rooftop units
- VRF/VRV systems
- Boilers
- Heat pumps
This entirely depends on the business’s requirements.
A commercial rooftop HVAC unit can typically last 15 to 20 years or more with proper installation, regular maintenance, and timely repairs.
Factors such as usage, weather exposure, equipment quality, and operating conditions can affect its lifespan.
Regular maintenance can help keep an RTU operating efficiently and identify problems before they lead to premature replacement.
Commercial HVAC units should generally be professionally serviced at least twice a year, typically before the heating and cooling seasons.
High-use systems or equipment operating in demanding commercial or industrial environments may benefit from more frequent inspections.
Regular preventative maintenance helps improve efficiency, reduce unexpected breakdowns, and extend equipment life.
