Rooftop unit replacement in Northglenn

Northglenn began as a planned suburb north of Denver in the late 1950s and 1960s, and most of its housing dates from that first wave of building. Northglenn's commercial property is concentrated in retail centers and offices along I-25, 104th Avenue and 120th Avenue, much of it on aging packaged rooftop units. Rooftop unit replacement is one of the most common projects we run for owners and property managers here.

Rooftop work in Northglenn

Redevelopment along the main corridors and infill multifamily are the main sources of new construction in this largely built-out city. RTU work clusters around Northglenn Marketplace, the I-25 corridor, the 104th Avenue and 120th Avenue corridors and Washington Street.

Owners and managers in Northglenn 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.

What a Northglenn RTU changeout includes

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.

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

Site factors in Northglenn

• Retail and office buildings along I-25 and the main corridors run on aging rooftop units.
• Remodels and additions have often expanded homes without updating the HVAC design.
• Homes from the 1960s and 1970s are often on their third or fourth furnace, with original ductwork that was never resized.

Northglenn sits at about 5,450 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 Thornton, Westminster, Commerce City and Broomfield. For the full overview, including our pricing approach, process and common questions, see rooftop unit replacement in Denver.
