Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a rooftop unit last?

A commercial rooftop unit (RTU) typically lasts 15 to 20 years when properly maintained. Factors like NYC's urban environment, rooftop exposure to weather extremes, and frequency of preventive maintenance all affect lifespan. Units that receive regular servicing—filter changes, coil cleaning, and seasonal tune-ups—consistently reach or exceed the upper end of that range.
