Lakewood is Jefferson County's largest city, stretching from post-war neighborhoods near Denver up to homes on the slopes of Green Mountain. Lakewood's commercial stock includes Belmar's mixed-use blocks, Denver West and Union Boulevard office buildings, and government and institutional buildings around the Federal Center. Rooftop unit replacement is one of the most common projects we run for owners and property managers here.

What we plan for in Lakewood

- Townhomes and condos around Belmar often have compact closet systems with tight service access.
- Many homes are on their third or fourth furnace, with original ducts that were never updated.
At about 5,500 feet, Lakewood 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.
We also deliver rooftop unit replacement in nearby Golden, Wheat Ridge, Littleton and Arvada. For the full overview, including our pricing approach, process and common questions, see rooftop unit replacement in Denver.

Lakewood rooftop unit replacement questions
Do you replace RTUs around Belmar?
Yes. We replace rooftop units across Lakewood, including Belmar, Denver West Office Park, the Denver Federal Center area and the Union Boulevard office corridor.
Can Lakewood changeouts happen after hours?
Yes. Most Lakewood changeouts are scheduled early mornings, weekends or after hours.
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.
How much does RTU replacement cost?
A typical range is $15,000 to $60,000 or more per unit depending on tonnage, configuration, curb and crane requirements. Exact pricing after plan review or site walk.
