Expert Rooftop Unit Installation in Palo Alto, CA

Rooftop unit installation is one of the most common HVAC projects on Palo Alto commercial properties. Offices, retail spaces, and multi-tenant buildings throughout the city rely on packaged rooftop units to handle both heating and cooling from a single self-contained system. At Air Control Mechanical, we start every job with a load calculation and site assessment. We check building size, existing ductwork, roof structure, and airflow needs before any equipment is selected. Palo Alto falls under California Climate Zone 4, and the city has its own rooftop equipment checklist that governs curb placement, seismic restraints, and electrical requirements. We work within those standards on every installation. Once sizing and placement are confirmed, our crew handles the full scope: equipment setting, curb work, electrical connections, duct tie-ins, and system startup. The result is a properly sized unit that runs efficiently and meets local code. Call Air Control Mechanical to schedule a site assessment for your Palo Alto property.
