What We Do

Our RTU Replacement Services in Brooklyn

Full-lifecycle rooftop unit replacement — engineering, procurement, installation, and commissioning — for Brooklyn's commercial buildings.

📐

Engineering & Load Calculation

We size replacement units to your Brooklyn building's actual current load and future needs, not just a like-for-like swap of an outdated spec.

📋

NYC DOB Filing & Permitting

We coordinate the permit filings and inspections required for rooftop equipment replacement, keeping your project on schedule instead of stalled in approvals.

🏗️

Crane & Rigging Coordination

Rooftop access in dense Brooklyn blocks requires careful crane and rigging planning — we manage street permits, scheduling, and site logistics as part of the project.

🔧

Turnkey Installation

From old-unit removal to new-unit setting, electrical and ductwork tie-in, our certified crews handle every phase of the physical installation.

✅

Startup Commissioning & TAB

Every replacement concludes with full startup commissioning and certified test-and-balance reporting, confirming the new unit performs to design specification.

🌿

LL97 Compliance Upgrade

New RTUs are typically dramatically more efficient than the units they replace — often the single biggest lever a Brooklyn building has for reducing its Local Law 97 exposure.

LL97 Note: Brooklyn buildings over 25,000 sq ft face escalating carbon penalties starting 2024. Replacing an aging, inefficient RTU with a modern high-efficiency unit is one of the most direct ways to cut a building's emissions exposure — ask us to model the impact for your building.

From assessment to commissioned unit

One partner handles every step. Here's how we replace your rooftop unit.

01

Site & equipment assessment

A certified engineer surveys your Brooklyn building's existing RTU, rooftop access, and electrical infrastructure to scope the replacement.

02

Engineering & permit filing

We size the replacement unit, prepare engineering drawings, and file the required NYC DOB paperwork so approvals move in parallel with procurement.

03

Fixed-price replacement proposal

You receive a clear, itemized quote covering equipment, rigging, installation, and filings before work begins — no change orders mid-project.

04

Installation & commissioning

Certified technicians install the new unit, tie in electrical and ductwork, and complete full startup commissioning and TAB reporting before handoff.

Questions we hear every day

Straight answers about RTU replacement in Brooklyn — no marketing fluff.

How do I know if my rooftop unit needs replacement instead of repair?
As a general guideline, units over 15 years old, facing repair costs approaching half the replacement cost, or experiencing repeated failures of the same component are usually better candidates for replacement. Denair's technicians give you a straight recommendation during any Brooklyn service call, weighing repair cost against remaining unit life.
Does Denair handle DOB filings for RTU replacement in Brooklyn?
Yes. Denair coordinates the engineering drawings and NYC DOB filing process required for rooftop equipment replacement, managing the paperwork alongside procurement and installation scheduling so your project isn't stalled waiting on approvals.
How much does RTU replacement help with Local Law 97 compliance?
LL97 sets carbon emissions limits for Brooklyn buildings over 25,000 sq ft, and an aging rooftop unit is frequently a building's least efficient major system. Replacing it with a modern high-efficiency unit is often the single biggest available lever for reducing HVAC-driven emissions, and we can model the specific impact for your building before you commit.
What does RTU replacement cost in Brooklyn?
Cost depends on unit tonnage, rigging complexity, ductwork and electrical tie-in scope, and whether new permit filings are required. Every project starts with a fixed, itemized proposal after a site assessment — there are no hourly surprises once the scope is agreed.
How long does a typical RTU replacement take in Brooklyn?
Timeline depends on permit approval speed, equipment lead time, and rigging logistics, but straightforward single-unit replacements often complete installation within one to two days once the unit arrives on-site and permits are approved. We build the project schedule around equipment lead time from the start to minimize downtime.
