Chances are high that your commercial or industrial facility uses rooftop units in some capacity. Everything from a standard office building to a sheet metal factory has HVAC units housed on the roof to provide for proper environmental controls around the year.<\/p>\n
We are experienced professionals when it comes to commercial heating and air conditioning in Whitby, ON<\/a>, as well as industrial heating and cooling. We know rooftop units of all types and sizes: we\u2019ve installed them, repaired them, maintained them, and replaced them. We\u2019d like to help you get to know the ones serving your facility a bit better.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a basic question: why are vital heat pump units almost always housed on the roof of a building? There are a couple of reasons, but it starts back in the early days of commercial and industrial HVAC. Before the development of the suburbs, most commercial and industrial facilities were in crowded downtown areas where there was hardly any space around the building to place the HVAC equipment venting heat and drawing heat in. The solution\u2014put the units on the roof. And they\u2019ve stayed there because of other advantages: prevention of damage and vandalism, easy access for maintenance and repairs without disrupting operations, reduction of indoor noise, easily modular additions, and saving space around the building.<\/p>\n A rooftop unit is also called a packaged<\/em> unit. This separates it from the \u00adsplit system<\/em>, which you\u2019re familiar with from homes. A split system is a heat pump or air conditioner that has indoor and outdoor components. One set of coils is indoors and the other outdoors; the air handler is indoors and the compressor outdoors. With a rooftop unit, all these components are stored in one cabinet attached directly into the ventilation system of the building. The fan of the unit draws air out of the building through a duct as well as fresh air, and then depending on the mode the unit is in, it either heats or cools the air by passing it over the two sets of coils. The blower fan then pushes the conditioned air down another duct and into the main ventilation system of the facility.<\/p>\n Rooftop units may be the basic when it comes to commercial heating and cooling, but servicing them is anything but basic. No matter if you\u2019re looking for new rooftop units for your facility, have faulty units that aren\u2019t doing their job, or want to arrange for regular maintenance, always call commercial HVAC specialists.
