When a commercial rooftop unit fails, the hard part usually isn't the equipment. It's getting the job done without shutting down the business below. On a recent retail project in San Diego County, we replaced a 30-year-old package heat pump that had stopped working.
Starting before sunrise
We arrived before dawn and set up the crane early so the shopping center's parking lot stayed open for customers. The crane lifted the old unit off the roof and set the new one in place.
Keeping the space comfortable
While the rooftop unit was out, we ran portable spot coolers inside so staff and clients stayed comfortable during the swap.
More than a unit swap
We replaced the old mechanical thermostat with a programmable one so the system runs efficiently during business hours. We also replaced the electrical service disconnect, fuses and wiring and did a full safety inspection. To keep the project on budget, we reconnected to the existing ductwork and plenums, then found and sealed air leaks for better efficiency and rooftop weatherproofing.
The result
The new heat pump is modern and efficient, and the business can get back to serving its clients.
