Which Commercial System Fits Your Building?

The right answer depends on roof structure, tenant layout, and how the space is occupied — not on whatever was installed there twenty years ago.

Rooftop Unit Change-Out

Best for: Retail, restaurants, offices with existing curbs

Crane set, curb adapter fabrication where the new footprint differs, gas and electrical reconnection, and controls transfer — usually done in a single overnight or weekend window so you never close.

Commercial Split System

Best for: Buildings without roof access or curb structure

Ground-set or pad-set condenser with an indoor air handler or furnace in a mechanical closet. Easier service access and often a lower install cost when no curb exists.

VRF / VRV Zoning

Best for: Multi-tenant suites, medical offices, historic buildings

One outdoor unit feeding multiple indoor heads with independent setpoints per space, plus simultaneous heating and cooling on heat-recovery systems. Minimal ductwork in buildings that can't accept trunk lines.

Packaged Heat Pump

Best for: Churches, daycares, small warehouses

Single all-in-one unit handling both seasons with no indoor mechanical room required — simple, serviceable, and efficient for intermittent-occupancy buildings.

Our Commercial Installation Process

1

Load calculation and equipment survey — we measure the building, not the nameplate on the old unit.

2

Written proposal with equipment options, efficiency tiers, and expected operating cost differences.

3

Permits and mechanical code compliance handled by us as your licensed contractor.

4

Installation scheduled outside operating hours, with crane and rigging coordinated in advance.

5

Startup, charge verification, airflow balance, and controls commissioning with documented readings.

6

Warranty registration and a maintenance schedule handoff so the new equipment stays covered.

Repair or Replace? The Honest Threshold

A commercial rooftop unit past 12–15 years with a failed compressor or a leaking evaporator coil is usually a replacement conversation, especially on R-22 equipment where refrigerant cost alone makes repair uneconomical. Under 10 years with a control or motor failure, repair almost always wins.

We price both and hand you the comparison. Businesses make capital decisions on numbers, not pressure — and if the repair is the right call, we'll say so and handle the commercial repair instead.

Commercial Installation Questions

How long does a commercial rooftop unit replacement take?

A straightforward single RTU change-out on an existing curb is typically a one-day job, and we schedule the crane set outside your business hours. Curb adapters, new gas or electrical runs, or multiple units extend the schedule — we lay the timeline out in the proposal before you commit.

How do you size commercial HVAC equipment?

With a load calculation based on the building envelope, glass, occupancy, ventilation requirements, and internal loads from kitchen or equipment heat — not by copying the tonnage of the failed unit. Buildings get renovated and re-purposed, and matching an old, wrongly sized unit just repeats the mistake.

Can you replace one rooftop unit without disturbing the rest?

Yes. Multi-RTU buildings are usually replaced one unit at a time as budget and failure schedule allow. We'll give you a prioritized order based on condition so capital goes to the unit most likely to strand you.

Do you handle permits and mechanical code as the contractor?

Yes. As a licensed mechanical contractor (#36703) we pull the required permits, install to North Carolina mechanical code, and coordinate inspection. Property managers get documentation for the file.
