Rooftop Units (RTUs) and packaged systems are the workhorses of commercial climate control. Because these units house all their heating and cooling components in a single, weatherized cabinet exposed to the elements, they endure incredible wear and tear over their lifespan.
When an aging RTU begins to fail, it drains energy, disrupts business operations, and leads to costly emergency service calls. Irving Haase & Co., Inc. specializes in the expert diagnosis, repair, and in-kind replacement of commercial packaged units and RTUs across New York City, Brooklyn, and Queens.
Maximizing Efficiency with Modern Packaged Units
Commercial packaged units typically last 15 to 20 years. However, older units operate at significantly lower efficiency standards than today’s models.
Replacing a failing unit in-kind with a modern, high-efficiency system provides immediate benefits. New RTUs feature advanced variable-speed fans, improved economizers, and highly efficient compressors. This upgrade instantly lowers the building’s operating costs, improves indoor air quality, and provides reliable, consistent comfort for commercial tenants.
The Logistics of NYC Rooftop Replacements
Replacing a massive rooftop unit in a dense urban environment requires meticulous planning and flawless execution. This is where Irving Haase’s four decades of experience becomes invaluable.
We manage the complex logistics required for NYC mechanical replacements, including:
- Crane Lifts & Rigging: Coordinating safe, efficient crane operations to hoist heavy equipment onto commercial rooftops.
- Curb Adapters: Ensuring the new in-kind unit perfectly matches the existing roof curb to prevent leaks and structural issues.
- Ductwork Integration: Seamlessly connecting the new packaged unit to the building’s existing duct system for optimal airflow.
Bidding Plan & Spec Commercial Projects
For commercial renovations, general contractors and property managers require a mechanical partner who can execute precisely to the engineer’s design.
Irving Haase specializes in bidding and executing plan and spec commercial projects. When mechanical engineers specify a new packaged unit or RTU system for a space, we ensure the equipment is procured and installed exactly as drawn. Our attention to detail and rigorous project management keep your renovations on schedule and on budget, with minimal change orders.
