Rooftop Unit (RTU) Installation & Replacement

Single-zone, multi-zone, packaged, gas/electric. Crane work coordinated. Aging units swapped on schedule. New RTUs spec'd and installed for ground-up commercial across Utah's Wasatch Front.

Real Utah Project

Crane-Lifted RTU Swap, Wasatch Front

Our crew coordinating a rooftop unit lift on a commercial project along the Wasatch Front. Existing packaged units visible on the roof deck, new RTU en route via crane. This is the standard playbook: schedule the crane, stage the unit, coordinate with the roof and property team, land it clean, tie in electrical and gas, commission.

We do this kind of work regularly — send us your project.

When Property Managers and GCs Call Us for RTU Work

RTU calls come in three flavors:

  • The unit is dead — packaged rooftop unit on a retail strip or office building has reached end of life and the building is too hot or too cold. You need it replaced before the next tenant complaint.
  • The portfolio swap — property manager with five buildings has ten 15-year-old RTUs to swap over the next quarter. Coordinated scheduling, predictable pricing, no surprises.
  • The new build — GC on a new commercial project needs RTUs spec'd, ordered, and installed in the right sequence with framing, electrical, and roofing.

We do all three.

Realistic Lead Times in Utah

RTU lead times have settled compared to 2022–2023, but specific tonnages and configurations still vary. Standard 3–10 ton packaged units in common configurations are typically 2–6 weeks. Larger or specialty units (high efficiency, heat pump RTUs, oversized) can run 8–14 weeks.

When you call us, we'll quote a real lead time the same day — not "soon."

Completed Install

RTU Set and Commissioned — Utah Commercial Roof

A recently completed packaged rooftop unit sitting on a new curb, tied in and commissioned on a commercial building in the Utah mountains. This is what a clean RTU install looks like at handoff: unit landed square, condensate handled, disconnect mounted, roof left clean.
