Rooftop Unit Replacement in Corpus Christi, TX
Rooftop unit replacement means removing a failed or end-of-life package unit from a commercial roof and installing a properly matched replacement on the existing or new roof curb. This isn't a simple equipment swap — crane or lift access, roofing penetration integrity, and electrical disconnects all have to be handled correctly. A unit dropped on a curb that doesn't match leaks air and water into the building. We do the field measurement before anything gets ordered.

When to Call
When You Need Rooftop Unit Replacement
- Your Corpus Christi retail store's rooftop unit is over 15 years old and failing repeatedly.
- A compressor replacement on the existing RTU costs more than the unit is worth at this point.
- Storm damage compromised the unit's housing and it's no longer protecting the roof penetration.
- A building purchase inspection flagged the rooftop units as immediate capital replacement items.
How It Works
Our Process for Rooftop Unit Replacement
- 1
Field Measurement and Curb Assessment
We get on the roof and measure the existing curb before ordering anything. Curb adapter availability varies by manufacturer and affects lead time.
- 2
Equipment Selection
We match the replacement unit to the building's actual load and confirm the new unit's footprint and connections work with the existing infrastructure.
- 3
Removal and Setting
Old unit comes off, roof curb is inspected and repaired if needed, new unit gets set and secured. We handle roofing around the curb to prevent leaks.
- 4
Reconnection and Startup
Electrical, refrigerant, and duct connections get made, then we run a full startup sequence and verify the unit is hitting the building's demand.
Corpus Christi Context
Why this matters in Corpus Christi
Corpus Christi rooftop units take a beating from salt-laden gulf air — coil corrosion and cabinet deterioration happen faster here than inland. Replacement intervals are often shorter, and coastal-rated equipment makes a real difference in longevity.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
Cost is shaped by unit tonnage, curb compatibility, crane or lift requirements, and whether the electrical disconnect and supply wiring need upgrading to meet current code for the new equipment.
