Rooftop Unit Installation in Howell
A rooftop unit is the whole HVAC system for most commercial buildings. When it fails, sales stop, tenants complain, and food service risks health code trouble. When it is wrong from the start (undersized, wrong tonnage, wrong static pressure) the bills stay high forever. We install RTUs the right way with real load calcs and clean rigging.
Signs you need rooftop unit installation
Signs an RTU needs full replacement: it is fifteen-plus years old, uses R-22 refrigerant, the compressor has been rebuilt already, the cabinet is rusted through, or repair quotes keep climbing. Buildings with new tenants, added square footage, or new kitchen equipment often need bigger tonnage than what is on the roof today.
Running a failing RTU costs more than replacing it. Efficiency drops five to ten percent a year on a dying unit. Emergency shutdowns in the middle of business hours cost sales and staff time. In restaurants and grocery, a warm building can trigger a health inspection issue. Planning the replacement in the shoulder season is always cheaper than an emergency crane call in August.
We install packaged rooftop units for restaurants, retail, offices, and light industrial buildings. Every install starts with a real load calculation and a static pressure check on the existing ductwork, not a straight tonnage swap. We coordinate the crane, curb adapters where needed, gas and electrical tie-ins, and controls. Startup includes airflow balancing and a written commissioning report.
Rooftop install is one piece of a commercial HVAC plan. Ongoing care is handled with Rooftop Unit Maintenance to keep the new unit inside warranty and running efficiently. Same-day fixes when something quits fall under Rooftop Unit Repair. Everything is on the Commercial HVAC hub.
Our rooftop unit installation options
Rooftop Unit Installation for Howell homes and businesses
Commercial buildings around Howell run the range from strip retail off M-59 to restaurants on Grand River to light industrial in Brighton and South Lyon. Each one has different rooftop access, tonnage needs, and control systems. Michigan winters put big loads on gas heat sections. Summer humidity loads the cooling side hard. We size for the actual building, not a spec sheet number.
We install commercial RTUs across the region, including Hartland, Fenton, Milford, Highland, Ann Arbor, and Lansing.
What to expect
We come out and walk the roof, look at the current setup, and check ductwork. You get a written proposal with equipment options and a schedule. We coordinate the crane and pull permits. Most single-RTU changeouts happen in one day with minimal downtime, scheduled around your business hours where possible. Startup, balancing, and commissioning paperwork are included.
