RTUs

When you're managing a commercial building, staying ahead of heating and cooling issues can save you time, money, and headaches. One way to efficiently handle large-scale HVAC demands is by using rooftop units. These systems are engineered to streamline temperature control for bigger spaces without the need for complex indoor installations. Whether you're updating an outdated HVAC setup or starting fresh with new construction, RTUs can be an effective solution for keeping your environment comfortable and energy-efficient. Hely Heating and Air Conditioning provides expert guidance and service to ensure your system meets your building’s specific needs.

Understanding RTUs and Their Role in Rooftop HVAC Systems

RTUs, or rooftop units, are self-contained HVAC systems typically installed on the roof of commercial buildings. They combine heating and cooling components in one unit, providing centralized climate control without occupying valuable indoor space.

These systems offer several benefits:

• Space-Saving Design: RTUs are installed on the roof, freeing up interior square footage for operational or tenant use.
• Energy Efficiency: Many models feature high-efficiency ratings and are compatible with programmable thermostats, helping lower energy consumption.
• Ease of Maintenance: Because they are all-in-one systems, these are easier for technicians to access and service, especially when installed with maintenance platforms or access ladders.
• Flexible Capacity Options: Available in multiple sizes, these systems can meet the needs of a variety of commercial spaces.
• Zoning Capability: Advanced RTU models can offer zoning options that allow different areas of a building to be heated or cooled independently, improving comfort and energy control.

For businesses seeking reliable commercial HVAC solutions, these systems are a compelling option. At Hely Heating and Air Conditioning, we help property owners identify the best fit for their specific rooftop needs. Contact us today to get started!

Selecting the Right RTU for Your Facility

Choosing the right rooftop unit isn't just about picking a brand—it’s about understanding your building’s unique requirements. Here’s a step-by-step look at how to approach this decision:

1. Assess Your Building’s Load Needs
   Calculate the building's heating and cooling demands using factors like square footage, insulation quality, occupancy levels, and typical weather conditions.
2. Review Energy Efficiency Ratings
   Choose units with high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios (SEER) and Energy Efficiency Ratios (EER) to reduce long-term utility costs.
3. Evaluate Air Quality Features
   Look for systems that offer advanced filtration or IAQ enhancements, especially if your facility requires strict air purity standards.
4. Determine Available Rooftop Space
   Confirm that your rooftop can support the weight and footprint of the chosen unit, especially when considering multiple RTUs.
5. Plan for Maintenance Accessibility
   Ensure the unit’s placement and surrounding infrastructure allow for easy access for future service visits.
6. Account for Future Expansion
   Choose systems that allow for scalability if you anticipate business growth or facility expansion.
