Behind the scenes
Frequently asked
I primarily work with commercial rooftop units, including packaged terminal units (PTUs), VRF systems, and chillers. My work includes technical schematics for refrigerant piping layouts, isometric ductwork routing diagrams, and control-wiring schematic overlays that help ensure proper system integration and performance.
I offer a dedicated 24/7 emergency service line for urgent no-heat/no-cool calls. While my regular office hours are Monday through Friday from 7am to 5pm, I maintain an availability system that allows me to respond quickly to commercial rooftop failures and other critical HVAC issues outside of normal business hours.
Yes, as part of my work with commercial rooftops, I create detailed technical drawings such as isometric ductwork routing diagrams and schematic refrigerant piping legends. These documents help facility managers understand how systems are configured and make future maintenance easier to plan.
Absolutely. I have over 39 years of experience working directly with commercial rooftop units, including analyzing control-wiring schematic overlays and reviewing technical rooftop-unit cutaway diagrams to locate problems quickly. Common issues include refrigerant leaks, electrical faults in the control panel, or improper ductwork connections that affect airflow.
