Rooftop unit replacement in Erie

Erie grew from a small coal-mining town into one of the faster-growing communities between Denver and Boulder. Erie's commercial base is still small and centered on Erie Parkway retail and Old Town storefronts, while the town's growth is mostly residential. Rooftop unit replacement is one of the most common projects we run for owners and property managers here.

Erie roofs and access

Erie is one of the faster-growing towns between Denver and Boulder, and new subdivisions and commercial pads are a steady source of new construction work. RTU work clusters around the Erie Parkway corridor, Old Town Erie, Erie Highlands and Colliers Hill.

Roof access in Erie ranges from open suburban parking lots to tight urban blocks where crane placement, street use and neighbors shape the lift plan. Erie is one of the faster-growing towns between Denver and Boulder, and new subdivisions and commercial pads are a steady source of new construction work.

Our RTU scope in Erie

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.

• Replacement equipment selection
• Structural and roofer coordination
• Crane and rigging plan
• Curb adapters or new curbs
• Gas, electrical and condensate
• Economizer and controls
• Startup reports
• Disposal of old units

Process

1. Survey. Existing conditions or construction documents reviewed in detail
2. Price. Scope, options and exclusions in writing, so the number holds
3. Install. Scheduled work windows, protected finishes and clean sites
4. Commission. Startup, balancing, controls and training before turnover

Site factors in Erie

• Open terrain exposes outdoor units to wind and hail.
• Most homes are newer, so problems tend to come from builder-grade sizing and setup rather than old age.
• Tight new homes benefit from good ventilation and humidity control.

At about 5,100 feet, Erie equipment works in thin air, intense sun and hail. We select capacity with altitude correction, set gas equipment to the manufacturer's elevation guidance and plan outdoor equipment for hail exposure.
