Key takeaways
- Keep an inventory of every unit with age and condition.
- Maintain on a schedule and keep the reports.
- Plan replacements in phases, not all at once.
- Coordinate work with tenants and business hours.
Know your equipment
List every rooftop unit, split system and refrigeration unit with its age, location and service history. This one document makes planning much easier.
Photos and nameplate data help.
Maintain on a schedule
Regular inspections, filter changes and cleaning prevent most breakdowns and extend life. Keep the written reports so you can see trends.
A maintenance plan puts the schedule on autopilot.
Plan replacements
Units reach the end of their life at different times. Phase replacements over several years so no single year takes the whole hit.
A short conversation with us can help you rank units by priority.
Work around the business
Good scheduling avoids peak hours and keeps tenants informed. Cranes, roof access and utility shutoffs need coordination.
Ask contractors how they handle access and communication.
Quick answers
How long do rooftop units last?
Often fifteen to twenty years with good maintenance, less in harsh conditions.
Can you document my equipment?
Yes. We can build an equipment list as part of a maintenance plan.
