Rooftop package units run most commercial buildings in Dallas-Fort Worth, and Texas weather is hard on them. We repair, maintain, and replace RTUs from every major brand, keeping your building comfortable year-round.
Rooftop package units dominate commercial buildings across the Metroplex. These self-contained systems mount on the roof and combine heating and cooling in a single cabinet, which makes them cost-effective, easy to zone, and simple to replace when they wear out. The tradeoff is a brutal environment, direct sun, extreme temperature swings, hailstorms, and dust that accelerates wear on every component.
We service RTUs daily across DFW. Offices in Plano often run multiple 3 to 10-ton units, one per zone. Retail centers along the Dallas North Tollway might have a dozen units from 5 to 25 tons. Warehouses near DFW Airport rely on 30 to 50-ton units to condition wide open spaces. Each building type brings its own challenges, and we handle them all.
Our vans stock compressors, fan motors, capacitors, contactors, control boards, gas valves, and ignitors for Carrier, Trane, Lennox, York, Goodman, and Rheem, so we complete most repairs on the first visit. For cooling work beyond the rooftop, see our commercial AC repair service, and when replacement makes more sense than repair, our HVAC installation team handles it.
RTUs fail in patterns, and most trace back to the same handful of components.
We service the full range, from small single-zone units to large warehouse packages.
| Building Type | Typical RTU Size | How They Are Configured |
|---|---|---|
| Office Buildings | 3 to 10 tons | One unit per zone, several across the roof |
| Retail Centers | 5 to 25 tons | Multiple units, often one per suite |
| Warehouses and Light Industrial | 30 to 50 tons | Large units conditioning open floor space |
| Medical and Restaurants | 5 to 20 tons | Multi-zone comfort with precise control |
A methodical approach that gets units back online and keeps them there.
Rooftop units typically last 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance, but many fail earlier from neglect. Texas weather accelerates the wear, direct sun ages components, and dust clogs coils until small problems become expensive failures. Regular service, twice yearly, is what keeps a unit reaching or exceeding its expected life.
Coil cleaning matters more here than almost anywhere. Dust on a condenser coil restricts airflow and forces the compressor to work harder, which can raise energy use by around 30 percent and shorten compressor life. We pressure wash coils annually to restore factory airflow. We also exercise and lubricate economizer dampers, because a stuck damper wastes energy either by running the compressor when free outdoor cooling is available or by pulling in hot air when the building needs mechanical cooling.
We recommend RTU service in spring before cooling season and in fall before heating season, so issues surface during moderate weather when repairs cause minimal disruption.

Scofield Memorial Church has realized a fifty thousand dollar savings in energy in the last twelve months from the upgrade in HVAC units completed just last summer, a one-third reduction in our total electrical bill.
