Rooftop HVAC Units

If your internal space is limited, rooftop HVAC units maintain temperature control without an intrusive footprint inside your building.

Rooftop HVAC units (Commercial)


Rooftop A/C units provide many benefits, however, they do cost more. Roof-mount air conditioners, don't suffer from a split-component problem. Instead, everything the A/C unit needs to create and distribute cold air is contained in the rooftop air conditioning unit, which is then attached to the top of your building (or home) and routed through the ductwork.

Aside from bypassing the furnace, there are many benefits to a roof-mounted unit.

First is limiting the amount of work the unit needs to do — in turn lowering your energy cost. Because cold air sinks, a rooftop install takes advantage of air's natural tendency. Forced air furnaces, meanwhile, need to push this cooled air up through the ductwork in your home, which requires greater fan speeds and more power.

Installing a rooftop air conditioner also has the advantage of keeping all moving parts together. If something breaks down in a central air conditioner, a repair technician will need to check your furnace, the A/C unit and all the connections that run between them. As a result, troubleshooting A/C problems or even routine maintenance may be time-consuming and costly. If a rooftop unit experiences a problem, a professional HVAC technician at South Nashville Heating and Cooling needs to look only in one place.

Roof-mount air conditioners are popular with commercial properties, in part because the units can efficiently cool large spaces and in part because they don't require any modifications to existing HVAC work.

Making Nashville Homes Energy Efficient

Our homes are a major source of energy use in the U.S. Improving the efficiency of new and existing homes while educating consumers about their energy use will help consumers save money and increase the nation’s energy security.

More and more homebuilders in Middle Tennessee are leaning towards energy efficient homes.  A partnership between Tennessee’s Realtors and the Federal Department of Energy aims to make your energy information available for homeowners.

Think about when you purchase a car - on the window you can look at the MPG. Chances are, if the sticker said your new car was going to get 5 MPG, you'd walk away. The goal right now is to make energy information available before buying a house.

If you've been in the market for a new house, wouldn't it be nice to be able to budget what your electric bill might be before you sign on the dotted line? You want to budget for your electric and gas, but you're just not sure what your new home will run you. Wouldn't it be amazing if you could have a general idea before you invest in a new home?

Going from a one bedroom apartment to a sprawling three-bedroom home could give anyone a sticker shock; don't let your electric bill do the same!

Realtors in Tennessee (and other states) have joined forces with the Department of Energy (DOE) to help homeowners improve their energy efficiency. The partnership makes energy information — such as the benefits of adding insulation — more available to anyone buying a house and expands existing upgrade programs.

This program should help older homes perform more like new houses, which often are significantly more energy efficient and cheaper to heat and cool.

Buying a new home is probably the most expensive purchase you'll ever make, so any way to save money is a plus!
