Save space and increase energy efficiency with rooftop units to heat and cool your facility.
Tight on space? Commercial package and rooftop units keep the air conditioning, heating, and air handler all in one packaged set on the exterior of the building. For office buildings and businesses, you can also place the unit on a flat roof to save even more space.
Like all HVAC systems, rooftop units have a range of lifespans from 5-20 years contingent on proper maintenance. If you maintain regular servicing according to manufacturer specifications, you’ll extend the life of your investment.
As you evaluate options, you may find a newer model will be more energy efficient and save money over your current commercial package and rooftop units. If the energy savings make up for the cost in replacement, it might be time for a new system.
Installing, repairing or replacing a rooftop unit? We’ll be your trusted partner from installation to regular maintenance, so you never worry about your HVAC systems. For new construction, we give advice from our decades of experience to design the best system for your usage.

Commercial package and rooftop units have grown in popularity for small to large businesses alike. Their many benefits and space-saving components make them a perfect fit for different styles of buildings. Talk to an expert at AirLogix today to find out if this unit would be the best fit for your facility.
One of the great benefits of commercial package and rooftop units is the ease of maintenance and servicing. The technicians do not even need to enter your building, because all the components are on the flat roof. Additionally, all the units are located in one place (the roof!) so technicians can access everything at one time without interrupting business or office activity.
Air filters are the first level of maintenance on every air conditioning system. Keeping them clean from debris easily increases the efficiency of the unit and improves air quality in the room. For commercial package and rooftop units, the air flow keeps the coil and heat exchanger at the correct temperature to prevent ice forming and keep the liquid refrigerant vaporizing correctly.
If your packed unit is also regulating the humidity and air quality in your facility, the drain lines need to be clear at all times. While the clogged drain line may be a reason for an increased temperature, it primarily removes the water vapor from the air and reduces humidity.
As with any product with a fan and motor, the belts need to remain at the correct tension without fraying and cracking in order to keep the temperature regulated. When the tension is too tight, the motor and bearings wear down quickly. Loss tension causes belts to slip and groove the pulleys, further damaging the system for the future.
While you should only need to replace belts annually, extreme temperatures and unit usage may require new components more often. This kind of maintenance greatly extends the lifespan of your HVAC system by protecting it from unnecessary wear and tear.
Keeping the motor and bearings lubricated prevents components from seizing and breaking down, further destroying other parts of the system. The manufacturer guidelines will specify how often these features need to be maintained, but the benefits of planning for preventative maintenance greatly outweighs the risk of ignoring these procedures.
If you and your team are too busy to keep track of the specifications for the many commercial package and rooftop units at your facility, call AirLogix to establish a maintenance agreement or service contract to stop emergencies before they happen.
