When a Rooftop AC Unit Replacement Makes More Sense Than Repair

A failing rooftop unit requires constant repairs, higher energy consumption and unexpected downtime. We assess your current equipment and recommend replacement when:

  • Repair costs exceed 50% of a new system’s price
  • Your unit’s end of serviceable life (typically 10–15 years)

Modern rooftop systems consume 20–30% less energy than older models, offering immediate savings.

Our technicians evaluate your building’s cooling load, refrigerant type and current roof condition to recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Types of Rooftop HVAC Systems We Install

Packaged Rooftop Units (RTU)

Packaged RTUs house the compressor, condenser and evaporator coil in one cabinet. We install RTUs from leading manufacturers, including:

  • Carrier
  • Trane
  • Lennox
  • Rheem

Single & Multi-Zone Systems

Single-zone RTUs cool one area. Multi-zone systems? They use dampers and thermostats to deliver independent temperature control across different zones. Our technicians design zoning strategies tailored to your building’s layout and operational needs.

Replacement of Old Rooftop Units

Removing and replacing an aging unit requires careful coordination. We manage debris removal, refrigerant recovery, disconnect of electrical supply and roof penetration sealing.

    question

    FAQs

    Yes. Los Angeles requires a mechanical permit for any new installs or unit replacement. Projects usually require:

    • Coordination with Los Angeles Water & Power
    • Title 24 Compliance to meet the state’s energy efficiency standards

    We handle the entire permitting and compliance processes to ensure a smooth installation.

    It depends on the complexity of the installation. Standard replacement jobs are typically completed in one day. Complicated projects that involve things like structural reinforcements or new ductwork often take a few business days.

    Yes – in most cases. Some commercial units weigh hundreds or thousands of pounds. Cranes are a safe and efficient way to hoist the unit.

    Absolutely. Our RTU installation services also include the replacement of old units. Modern units are far more efficient and use environmentally friendly refrigerants. Upgrading is a smart way to lower your monthly GWP bill.

    Every rooftop unit installation is different. But a general rule of thumb is 1 ton of cooling capacity per 500-600 square feet of space.

    For precision, we perform a professional load calculation that considers:

    • The number of windows and sun exposure
    • Ceiling height
    • Number of people living in the home
    • The local climate
