Frequently asked questions
How long does a rooftop AC replacement typically take?
The duration of a rooftop AC replacement can vary significantly depending on the size and complexity of the unit, site access, and specific project requirements. Smaller units might be replaced in a day or two, while larger or more complex installations could take several days. We will provide a detailed timeline during the initial assessment.
Do I need to replace my entire rooftop unit or can I just repair parts?
The decision to repair or replace depends on several factors, including the age of the unit, the cost of repairs versus replacement, the availability of parts, and its current energy efficiency. If your unit is old, frequently breaking down, or highly inefficient, replacement is often the more cost-effective long-term solution. We can help you assess the best option.
What happens to the old rooftop AC unit after replacement?
After decommissioning and removal, we ensure that all components of your old rooftop AC unit, especially refrigerants, are handled and disposed of responsibly and in accordance with all current environmental regulations. We aim to recycle materials where possible.
Will a new rooftop AC unit be more energy-efficient?
Generally, yes. Modern rooftop AC units are manufactured to much higher energy efficiency standards than older models. They incorporate advanced compressor technology, improved heat exchangers, and smarter controls, which can lead to significant reductions in energy consumption and lower operational costs.
Can you replace rooftop AC units for any type of commercial building?
Our REFCOM F-Gas certified engineers are experienced in replacing rooftop AC units for a wide range of commercial and industrial properties, including offices, retail spaces, warehouses, and more. We tailor our services to meet the specific demands of each building and its operational requirements.
