Glendale Commercial Rooftop Unit (RTU) Installation

Why Glendale Businesses Choose #1 AC Guys

We are a fourth‑generation family of engineers with 80+ years of combined experience, focused on Commercial Rooftop Unit (RTU) Installation that stands the test of time. Our team is factory‑trained by leading manufacturers—including Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric, Midea, Gree, and Haier—so your project benefits from best‑practice installation methods, advanced controls knowledge, and reliable commissioning. We specialize in large and complex RTU projects across Glendale where precise planning, safety, and code compliance are critical.

End‑to‑End, Engineering‑Led Delivery

From first site walk to final commissioning, we manage every step: design‑build engineering, load calculations, equipment selection, curb adapter fabrication, electrical and gas scopes, economizers, demand‑controlled ventilation, smart thermostats or BAS integration, and Title 24 documentation. You get a single accountable team, fewer change orders, and a predictable schedule.

What We Install and Replace

• High‑efficiency gas/electric packaged RTUs and heat pump RTUs
• VFD supply and return fans, economizers, and demand‑control ventilation (CO2)
• Curbs and curb adapters for legacy footprints to avoid roofing rework where feasible
• Advanced filtration (MERV‑13+), UV‑C options, and IAQ upgrades to improve occupant comfort
• Smart controls, remote monitoring, and integration with existing building automation

Our Proven RTU Process

1) Assessment and Planning: We evaluate roof access, structural considerations, power and gas, supply/return ducting, and ventilation needs. We align capacity with actual loads to right‑size the equipment for Glendale’s climate and your usage profile.
2) Engineering and Permits: We prepare submittals and Title 24 compliance forms as required, coordinate with the city for permits, and plan any road permits or traffic control for crane day.
3) Logistics and Safety: We handle crane coordination, rigging, lift plans, rooftop protection, and curb adapter setup. Safety and clean job sites are non‑negotiable.
4) Installation and Commissioning: We set and level the unit, connect electrical and gas, verify airflow and static pressure, program controls, calibrate economizers, and commission to manufacturer specifications.
5) Turnover and Training: We provide O&M documentation, user training, and a clear maintenance path to protect your investment.

Healthy Air Is Our Mission

Healthy air in your workplace supports productivity and well‑being. Our RTU installations emphasize proper outside air, smart ventilation sequences, and effective filtration aligned with industry best practices. We can evaluate options like MERV‑13 filters, coil sanitation strategies, and advanced controls to balance indoor air quality with energy performance.

Code Compliance and Energy Performance

California’s energy standards demand careful RTU setup. We configure economizers, sensors, and fan speeds to meet Title 24 requirements and reduce operating costs. Our proposals can include utility‑rebate guidance where available through local programs (for example, SCE, SoCalGas, LADWP, or Glendale Water & Power), helping your project pencil out faster.

Industries We Serve in Glendale

• Office and medical/dental suites
• Retail and shopping centers
• Restaurants and food service
• Light industrial and warehouses
• Schools, churches, and community facilities
We tailor airflow, ventilation, and controls to each application, whether it is constant occupancy or peak‑load driven.

Seamless Retrofits and Replacements

Replacing an aging rooftop unit? We survey the existing curb and duct layout, select a compatible RTU or design a curb adapter, and plan a fast change‑out to limit downtime. Our team coordinates everything—from disconnects and crane picks to economizer setup and thermostat integration—so your Glendale operations stay on schedule.

Brands and Multi‑Vendor Expertise

Being factory‑trained across multiple manufacturers means we can match equipment to your goals—efficiency, acoustics, IAQ, footprint, or control strategy—while commissioning each system to spec. We also service most major brands, simplifying long‑term support for multi‑site owners.

Transparent Proposals and Scheduling

Expect clear scopes, line‑item pricing, and realistic timelines. We can provide energy comparisons, life‑cycle cost views, and options ranging from budget‑friendly replacements to high‑efficiency upgrades with advanced controls. Our team schedules crane day and building access to minimize business disruption.
