What You Should Know About HVAC Rooftop Units

Have you checked your commercial HVAC system lately? If it’s already old and racked with performance issues, the better, longer-lasting solution is a full replacement. While there are many commercial HVAC options available today, the rooftop unit (RTU) remains one of the most reliable and efficient. To learn more about this excellent option, Dittmer Air and Heat, your premier HVAC repair and maintenance company, offers this quick overview.

What Makes the RTU Different from Other HVAC Systems?

A rooftop HVAC unit is a self-contained unit that delivers both heating and air conditioning for certain types of commercial spaces. As its name implies, this system is usually installed on the roof–but it comes with one unique feature that makes it stand out among other types of HVAC equipment that can be installed in the same location–the RTU is a packaged unit, meaning it comes with all the components of a heating and air conditioning system. These include:

Like other heating and cooling equipment, proper installation (plus regular HVAC maintenance) by a trusted professional like Dittmer Air and Heat is required to ensure your RTU works perfectly and efficiently.

How Does a Rooftop Unit Benefit You?

Because the RTU has every crucial component packaged in a single box, it won’t take up much-needed indoor space in your building. Except for the ductwork, everything is on the roof. A rooftop unit can also maximize your property’s energy efficiency because all of its parts are assembled and systematized in a factory under ideal conditions, which results in lower energy bills. What’s more, the packaged design means the installation will be faster, easier and altogether more cost effective.
