Repair signals
When a rooftop unit needs professional diagnosis
Commercial comfort problems can involve the packaged unit, controls, airflow or the building. The symptom helps define the first diagnostic steps.
A zone is not cooling
The fan may run while supply air stays warm, or one tenant area may drift above setpoint.
The unit is not heating
Packaged gas heat, heat-pump operation, safeties or controls may need diagnosis.
Airflow has dropped
Filters, belts, blower components, dampers, coils or duct conditions can restrict airflow.
New noise, odor or cycling
A changed sound, burning odor, repeated restart or breaker trip warrants a system check.
Controls show an alarm
Share the thermostat, economizer or control-board message when you request service.
Comfort complaints repeat
Recurring hot and cold zones can involve equipment, controls, airflow or building load.
Diagnostic scope
What an RTU service visit can evaluate
The exact work depends on the unit, complaint, safe roof access and approved visit scope. These are common checkpoints—not a promise that every system or component is supported.

Frequently asked questions
Commercial rooftop HVAC service questions
What are the signs that a commercial rooftop unit needs service?
Call when an occupied zone loses heating or cooling, airflow drops, the unit short-cycles, a breaker trips, water appears near a ceiling or roof penetration, or the equipment develops a new noise or odor. A dispatcher will confirm the equipment and current availability before a visit.
What information should I have before requesting RTU service?
If available, share the unit make, model and serial number; approximate tonnage; affected zones; thermostat or control alarms; roof-access instructions; and whether a ladder, hatch, key, escort or property-manager approval is required. Photos of the nameplate and roof access can help the team prepare.
What rooftop HVAC problems can you diagnose?
For equipment within our light-commercial scope, diagnostics can include power and control faults, contactors and capacitors, blower motors and belts, filters and airflow, condensate drainage, coils, economizer operation, heating components, refrigeration performance and thermostat or zone-control inputs. Confirm the exact unit when requesting service.
When should a rooftop unit be repaired instead of replaced?
The decision depends on the diagnosis, equipment age and condition, repair history, refrigerant and parts availability, efficiency, comfort needs, roof curb and duct compatibility, and the installed replacement scope. We can document the current finding and outline repair or replacement assumptions before approved work begins.
How often should a commercial RTU be maintained?
Frequency depends on the manufacturer, operating hours, occupancy, filters, kitchen or process loads, outdoor exposure and lease requirements. Many systems benefit from professional checks before peak heating and cooling seasons, but the right interval should follow the equipment documentation and actual site conditions.
Do rooftop-unit replacements require permits or crane coordination?
They may. Requirements vary by municipality and project scope. Replacement planning can involve roof access, structural or curb review, electrical and gas work, duct transitions, weatherproofing, equipment delivery and crane logistics. Those items should be identified in the written scope before work is scheduled.
Do you provide after-hours commercial rooftop HVAC repair?
Call the dispatcher to describe the affected space and equipment. Current appointment and after-hours availability depends on call volume, technician availability, location, roof-access rules, weather, parts and the work required.
