Blog Title: How to Get the Most Out of Your Long Island Rooftop Unit
Blog Introduction: If you’re like most people, you probably don’t think much about your rooftop unit (RTU) until something goes wrong. But your RTU is a vital part of your building’s HVAC system, and it needs regular maintenance to stay in good working order. Whether you have a commercial or residential property, Umair Mechanicals can help you keep your RTU in tip-top shape. Here are just a few of the ways we can help prolong the life of your RTU.
Inspect and Clean Your Coils Regularly
One of the most important things you can do to prolong the life of your RTU is to have the coils inspected and cleaned on a regular basis. Over time, dust and debris can build up on the coils, which makes them less efficient and can cause them to fail prematurely. At Umair Mechanicals, our trained technicians will clean your coils and inspect them for any damage so that they can be repaired or replaced before they cause any further problems.
Change Your Filters Regularly
Another important thing you can do to prolong the life of your RTU is to change the filters regularly. Dirty filters not only make your RTU less efficient, but they can also cause long-term damage if not changed on a regular basis. We recommend changing your filters at least once every three months, but more often if necessary. Our team can help you determine how often your filters need to be changed and can even provide you with replacement filters so that you always have fresh ones on hand.
Monitor Your Energy Usage
Monitoring your energy usage is another important way to prolong the life of your RTU. When your RTU is running inefficiently, it’s working harder than it needs to and this puts unnecessary strain on the system. Our team can help you monitor your energy usage and make recommendations for ways to improve efficiency. We can also perform annual tune-ups on your RTU to ensure that it’s running as efficiently as possible.

A system that is too large will cool or heat your house quickly, but you may not feel comfortable. On the other hand, a system that is too small just wont get the job done, especially in extreme weather conditions. But a correctly sized system isn’t just based on the size of the structure. Many factors go into determining the size of the system. Including type of house and walls, type and size of windows, insulation, basement and attic conditions, house orientation, and so on.
Heating and Air Conditioning equipment, no matter what kind you have, should be inspected, cleaned, and serviced at least once a year. The best scenario is to have the heating system checked in the Fall and the air conditioning checked in the Spring. Oil-fired equipment should definitely be cleaned and serviced annually; at the beginning of each heating season.
