Repairing a commercial rooftop unit is not the same as servicing a residential system. It demands a deep understanding of packaged system technology, advanced diagnostic tools, and strict adherence to rooftop safety protocols. Our NATE-certified technicians are specifically trained to handle the unique challenges of RTUs, ensuring a safe and effective repair every time.

Why Rooftop HVAC Unit Repair Requires a Specialist

Unlike split systems, rooftop units are “packaged” systems containing all heating, cooling, and ventilation components in one cabinet. This complexity requires a higher level of expertise for accurate diagnosis and repair.

• Integrated Complexity: Our technicians understand how the compressors, coils, heat exchangers, economizers, and control boards all interact within a single unit.
• Rooftop Safety Protocols: We adhere to strict safety standards, including those outlined by OSHA, for secure ladder/lift access, fall protection, and safe worksite management.
• Specialized Parts & Equipment: We have access to the specific parts and diagnostic equipment required for commercial-grade RTUs, enabling faster and more accurate repairs.

Common Rooftop Unit Problems We Solve

Our experienced technicians can quickly diagnose and resolve any issue your RTU is experiencing, including:

• Complete System Failure: Unit will not turn on or shuts down unexpectedly.
• Insufficient Cooling or Heating: Air is blowing, but not at the right temperature, often due to compressor or refrigerant issues.
• Reduced Airflow: Clogged filters, dirty coils, or failing blower motors can choke off airflow to your building.
• Strange Noises or Vibrations: Unusual sounds often point to mechanical problems with fan blades, belts, or motors that need immediate attention.
• Economizer Malfunctions: A broken economizer fails to use “free cooling” from outside air, driving up your energy costs.
• Electrical or Control Issues: Problems with thermostats, control boards, or electrical connections can prevent the unit from operating correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions about RTU Repair

1. What are the signs my rooftop unit might be about to fail?

Warning signs include a sudden spike in energy bills, unusual noises (grinding, squealing), visible water leaks around the unit, and rooms that are inconsistently heated or cooled. Addressing these signs early can prevent a complete shutdown.

2. Is it better to repair or replace my old RTU?

This depends on the unit’s age, the cost of the repair, and its repair history. If your RTU is over 15 years old and requires a major, expensive repair, a new commercial HVAC installation may provide a better long-term return on investment through energy savings and reliability. We provide honest advice to help you decide.

3. How can I prevent future RTU breakdowns?

The most effective way is with a preventative maintenance contract. Regular professional inspections, cleaning, and tune-ups catch small problems before they become emergencies, extend the life of your unit, and keep it running efficiently. Contact us to learn more.
