What a Centennial RTU changeout includes

Most changeouts happen early on weekends or before business hours. Multiple units can often come off and go on in one crane day, which keeps lift cost per unit down.

  • Hail guard options
  • Roof survey of every unit
  • Replacement equipment selection
  • Structural and roofer coordination
  • Crane and rigging plan
  • Curb adapters or new curbs
  • Gas, electrical and condensate
  • Economizer and controls

Process

  1. Walk or review. A site walk or plan review to understand the building, access and goals
  2. Proposal. A written scope with equipment, schedule, exclusions and price
  3. Build. Installation coordinated with your team, the other trades and the building
  4. Close out. Startup, documentation and a walkthrough with the owner or manager

Local conditions in Centennial

  • Many homes keep the original duct layout even after several equipment swaps.
  • A large share of homes are 30 to 50 years old, so many furnaces and AC units are at or past typical service life.
  • Two-story floor plans often leave upstairs bedrooms hot in summer.

Centennial sits at about 5,800 feet. At that elevation gas equipment needs the manufacturer's high-altitude setup and cooling capacity is lower than sea-level ratings suggest, so we select and set up equipment for the actual site.

We also deliver rooftop unit replacement in nearby Greenwood Village, Littleton, Lone Tree and Parker. For the full overview, including our pricing approach, process and common questions, see rooftop unit replacement in Denver.

Centennial rooftop unit replacement questions

Do you replace RTUs around the southern Denver Tech Center?

Yes. We replace rooftop units across Centennial, including the southern Denver Tech Center, Dove Valley business parks, the Centennial Airport area, The Streets at SouthGlenn and the Arapahoe Road corridor.

Can Centennial changeouts happen after hours?

Yes. Most Centennial changeouts are scheduled early mornings, weekends or after hours.

How many units in one day?

Often several, depending on unit size, access and crane reach. Grouping units into one crane day lowers the lift cost per unit.

Do you maintain RTUs afterward?

Yes. Planned maintenance agreements cover filters, belts, coils, economizers and safeties, with a written report after each visit.

Do hail guards make sense?

On exposed Front Range roofs they are worth considering. Hail can flatten condenser coil fins in a single storm and cut capacity.
