Our installation process starts with a full assessment of your building’s heating and cooling needs. We look at the size of your space, how many people use it, insulation levels, and your current ductwork. This helps us recommend the right size and type of rooftop unit for your property.
Once we agree on the equipment, our technicians prepare the rooftop for installation. This includes checking the mounting platform, verifying structural support, and making sure electrical and gas connections are ready. We then lift the new unit into place using proper equipment to avoid damage to your roof or the unit itself.
After mounting, we connect all ductwork, electrical lines, and gas or refrigerant lines. We charge the system with the correct refrigerant, test all components, and verify airflow through your building. For businesses also upgrading their duct systems, we offer commercial ductwork installation as a paired service to ensure optimal performance.
Before we finish, we walk you through how to operate your new rooftop unit and schedule a follow-up visit to confirm everything is working as expected. Our goal is to leave your building with a system that runs reliably for years to come.
The cost of rooftop unit installation varies based on several factors. The size of the unit needed for your building is the biggest driver of price. Larger commercial spaces require more powerful units, which cost more upfront but handle the load without straining.
The type of rooftop unit also affects pricing. Standard single-stage units are more affordable, while variable-speed units with advanced controls cost more but offer better energy efficiency and more consistent temperatures. If your current system uses older refrigerants like R-22, upgrading to a modern unit with R-410A adds to the project cost but eliminates future refrigerant availability concerns.
Your building’s current setup plays a role too. If your roof structure needs reinforcement or your electrical system needs upgrades, those costs factor into the total. We provide detailed quotes upfront so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.

How long does a rooftop unit installation take?
Most commercial rooftop unit installations take one to three days. The timeline depends on whether we are doing a straightforward replacement or a more involved new installation with electrical or structural work. We give you a schedule estimate before we start.
Can you install a rooftop unit on any commercial building?
Most commercial buildings can support a rooftop unit, but the roof must have adequate structural support and clear access for installation equipment. We inspect your roof during the planning phase to confirm it is suitable.
What size rooftop unit do I need for my building?
Unit size depends on your building’s square footage, ceiling height, insulation, occupancy levels, and other factors. We perform a heat load calculation to determine the exact size needed. Undersized units struggle to cool or heat your space, while oversized units cycle on and off too frequently, wasting energy.
Will a new rooftop unit lower my energy bills?
A new ENERGY STAR-certified rooftop unit with a high efficiency rating uses significantly less energy than an older model. Combined with proper installation and regular maintenance, many Campbell County business owners see a noticeable reduction in their HVAC energy costs.
Do I need to evacuate my building during installation?
In most cases, you can continue business operations with minimal disruption. We work around your schedule and take steps to minimize noise and debris in occupied areas. For some projects, we may recommend temporary cooling solutions if the work affects your main system.
