A commercial packaged unit, or rooftop unit (RTU), houses the compressor, coils, and air handler in one cabinet installed on the roof. It saves indoor space and simplifies service. Boro Mechanical installs, repairs, and maintains rooftop and packaged units for businesses throughout Lancaster County.
Commercial HVAC cost depends on system tonnage, efficiency, rooftop access, ductwork condition, and whether the unit is gas/electric or heat-pump. Larger or higher-efficiency units and difficult rooftop placements raise the price. Contact Boro Mechanical at 717-517-6120 for a site-specific quote.
Not always. Ductwork can often be cleaned, sealed, or modified rather than fully replaced. Replacement makes sense when ducts are badly corroded, undersized, or leaking heavily. Boro Mechanical inspects your commercial ductwork and recommends the most cost-effective path before any rooftop unit installation.
Repair is usually best for newer rooftop units with an isolated fault. If a unit is over 15 years old, needs frequent service, or has a failed compressor, replacement lowers downtime and energy costs. Boro Mechanical offers guaranteed response times for contract customers and gives honest repair-or-replace guidance.
We provide detailed maintenance reports, system performance documentation, warranty information, and compliance documentation needed for building management, warranty requirements, and energy management programs.
