Rooftop Unit (RTU) Repair & Installation
Keep your facility's climate control running at peak efficiency. We specialize in the repair, replacement, and optimization of commercial packaged units for retail, office, and industrial properties.
Common RTU Issues We Resolve
Rooftop units are exposed to the elements 24/7. This constant exposure can lead to specific mechanical and electrical failures that require professional attention.
Belt & Blower Failures
Worn or snapped drive belts are the #1 cause of airflow loss in RTUs. We provide rapid replacement and tension adjustment.
Economizer Malfunctions
If your economizer is stuck, your system isn't using 'free cooling' from outside air, causing your energy bills to skyrocket.
Clogged Condensate Drains
Drains on roofs often clog with debris, leading to water backup that can damage your building's roof and interior ceilings.
Compressor Overheating
Dirt accumulation on outdoor coils forces the compressor to work harder, leading to high-pressure trips and system lockouts.
Our RTU Service Process
From emergency rooftop repairs to full-scale crane-lift installations, we handle every logistical detail of your commercial project.
Site Assessment
We inspect the existing unit, curb condition, and duct transitions to plan the most effective repair or replacement strategy.
Logistical Planning
For new installs, we coordinate crane rentals, street permits, and safety zoning to ensure a seamless installation day.
Precision Install
Our technicians securely mount the unit to the curb, ensuring airtight seals and proper electrical/gas connections.
Testing & Startup
We perform comprehensive static pressure tests, check refrigerant charges, and calibrate building automation controls.
Why Use Rooftop Units?
Packaged RTUs are the industry standard for commercial buildings. They offer unique advantages in terms of space management, ease of service, and operational efficiency.
Saves Ground-Level Space
Free up valuable parking or sidewalk space by moving your heavy HVAC equipment to the roof.
Reduced Noise Pollution
Keeping large compressors and fans on the roof keeps mechanical noise away from your employees and customers.
Simplified Maintenance
Since all heating and cooling components are in one cabinet, service is faster and less disruptive to your interior.
Modular Scalability
If your facility expands, it is easy to add more RTUs to the roof without re-configuring your entire building infrastructure.

Servicing Commercial Units Across The Bay Area
RTU Service FAQs
With proper quarterly maintenance, a high-quality commercial RTU typically has a service life of 15 to 20 years. Units located closer to the coast may have a slightly shorter lifespan due to salt air corrosion.
An economizer is a system of dampers and sensors that allows the unit to use cool outside air for ventilation instead of running the compressor. When working correctly, it can reduce your cooling costs by up to 30%.
We recommend a minimum of quarterly maintenance. Commercial units work much harder than residential ones, and the roof environment is harsh. Regular filter changes, belt inspections, and coil cleaning are essential to prevent downtime.
Yes. RTUs are independent packaged systems. We can replace a single failing unit while all other zones in your building continue to operate normally.
