RTU replacement in Littleton is a crane, a schedule and a building that has to reopen on time. Littleton's commercial stock runs from historic storefronts on Main Street to retail centers, medical office and light industrial along Santa Fe Drive. We survey every unit before ordering and schedule changeouts around tenants.

Where we lift in Littleton
We work on roofs across Downtown Littleton along Main Street, the Santa Fe Drive and Mineral Avenue corridor, Aspen Grove and the Southwest Plaza area. New multifamily near the light rail stations and custom rebuilds near Bow Mar and Columbine Valley are the main new construction drivers.
Owners and managers in Littleton usually replace RTUs for one of three reasons: a failed compressor or heat exchanger, rising repair bills, or a tenant change. We plan each changeout so the building reopens on schedule.
How a Littleton rooftop changeout runs
After the set, we complete connections, economizer and controls setup, and a full startup on heating and cooling, then document each unit for the owner.
- Crane and rigging plan
- Curb adapters or new curbs
- Gas, electrical and condensate
- Economizer and controls
- Startup reports
- Disposal of old units
- Hail guard options
- Roof survey of every unit
Process
- Survey. Existing conditions or construction documents reviewed in detail
- Price. Scope, options and exclusions in writing, so the number holds
- Install. Scheduled work windows, protected finishes and clean sites
- Commission. Startup, balancing, controls and training before turnover
Local conditions in Littleton
- Split-level layouts from the 1960s and 1970s create uneven temperatures between levels that one thermostat cannot fix.
- Original duct systems were often sized for heat only, which limits how well a new AC performs.
- Homes closer to the foothills see stronger wind and hail exposure on outdoor equipment.
Altitude is a design input here. At about 5,350 feet, thinner air reduces combustion and air-side capacity, and we correct equipment selection and gas setup for it on every Littleton project.

Littleton rooftop unit replacement questions

Yes. We replace rooftop units across Littleton, including Downtown Littleton along Main Street, the Santa Fe Drive and Mineral Avenue corridor, Aspen Grove and the Southwest Plaza area.
Can Littleton changeouts happen after hours?
Yes. Most Littleton changeouts are scheduled early mornings, weekends or after hours.
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.
Do you handle the crane?
Yes. We work with a qualified crane provider, prepare a written lift plan and handle street use permits where the lift requires them.
What is a curb adapter?
A transition that lets a new unit with a different footprint sit on the existing roof curb, which avoids cutting and re-flashing the roof.
