If you're in need of a new rooftop unit, it's important to ensure that it is installed correctly.

When it comes to rooftop unit installation, there are several factors to consider. The first step is to ensure that the roof is structurally sound and can support the weight of the new unit.

It's important to ensure that the curb is installed correctly to prevent any leaks or damage to the roof. Once the curb is in place, the new rooftop unit can be installed and connected to the existing HVAC system.

Choosing the Right Roof Curb and Rooftop Unit
When it comes to installing a new rooftop unit, selecting the right roof curb is just as important as choosing the right unit. A roof curb is an elevated platform on a roof that supports rooftop equipment, such as HVAC units, exhaust fans, and skylights. The right roof curb will ensure proper alignment and functionality of your rooftop unit, while also providing a stable base that keeps moisture and debris out.
Assessing Roof Specifications
Before selecting a roof curb and rooftop unit, it is important to assess your roof's specifications. This includes the type of roof, its slope, and the materials used. Different roof types and materials require different types of roof curbs and installation methods. Additionally, the slope of your roof will affect the type of roof curb you need, as well as the weight and size of the rooftop unit.
Selecting a Rooftop Unit for Your Needs
When selecting a rooftop unit, consider factors such as efficiency, weight, airflow, and quality. An efficient unit will save you money on energy costs, while a lightweight unit will put less strain on your roof and roof curb. Proper airflow is crucial for the unit's performance, while quality ensures longevity and fewer repairs down the line. At D&G Exteriors, we offer a range of rooftop units that are energy-efficient, high-quality, and designed to meet your specific needs.
Understanding Curb Adapters
In some cases, a curb adapter may be necessary to connect your rooftop unit to the roof curb. A curb adapter is a device that allows you to connect a rooftop unit to a roof curb that is a different size or shape. It is important to select the right curb adapter to ensure a proper fit and prevent leaks. At D&G Exteriors, our experienced team can help you select the right curb adapter for your rooftop unit and roof curb.

Pre-Installation Process
Before installing a new roof top unit, it is crucial to go through a pre-installation process to ensure that the installation process goes smoothly and efficiently. This section will cover the three main subsections of the pre-installation process: Site Inspection and Measurements, Acquiring Necessary Permits and Resources, and Coordination with Contractors.
Site Inspection and Measurements
The first step in the pre-installation process is to conduct a thorough site inspection and take accurate measurements. This step is crucial to ensure that the installation process goes smoothly and that the new roof top unit fits perfectly. It is recommended that you hire a professional contractor with experience in roofing and exterior installations, such as D&G Exteriors, to conduct the site inspection and take measurements.
During the site inspection, the contractor will assess the condition of the existing roof, identify any potential issues, and recommend any necessary repairs or upgrades. Accurate measurements will be taken to ensure that the new roof top unit fits perfectly and that there is enough clearance for any necessary ductwork or piping.
Acquiring Necessary Permits and Resources
The next step in the pre-installation process is to acquire the necessary permits and resources. This step is crucial to ensure that the installation process complies with local building codes and regulations. It is recommended that you hire a professional contractor with experience in acquiring permits and resources, such as D&G Exteriors, to handle this step.
During this step, the contractor will obtain any necessary permits, such as building permits and electrical permits, and acquire any necessary resources, such as materials and equipment. They will also coordinate with any necessary subcontractors, such as electricians and plumbers, to ensure that the installation process goes smoothly.
Coordination with Contractors
The final step in the pre-installation process is to coordinate with contractors. This step is crucial to ensure that the installation process goes smoothly and that all necessary parties are on the same page. It is recommended that you hire a professional contractor with experience in coordinating with contractors, such as D&G Exteriors, to handle this step.
During this step, the contractor will coordinate with any necessary subcontractors, such as electricians and plumbers, to ensure that the installation process goes smoothly. They will also coordinate with any necessary parties, such as the building owner or property manager, to ensure that the installation process complies with any necessary regulations and requirements.

Installing the Roof Curb
When it comes to installing a new roof curb, there are several important steps that you need to follow to ensure that the installation is successful. In this section, we'll take a look at how to prepare the roof surface, mount the curb to the roof, and ensure proper drainage and insulation.
Preparing the Roof Surface
Before you can install the roof curb, you need to prepare the roof surface. This involves ensuring that the roof is level and has the proper slope for drainage. It's also important to make sure that the flashing around the roof opening is in good condition and properly sealed.
Mounting the Curb to the Roof
Once the roof surface is prepared, you can begin mounting the curb to the roof. It's important to use the proper fasteners and to ensure that the curb is level and securely attached to the roof. You'll also need to install insulation around the curb to prevent condensation and ensure energy efficiency.
Ensuring Proper Drainage and Insulation
Finally, you need to ensure that the roof curb is properly insulated and that there is adequate drainage around the curb. This involves installing a drain system and ensuring that the insulation is properly sealed to prevent air leaks.

Installing the Rooftop Unit
Before installing the rooftop unit (RTU), make sure that the curb is properly installed and securely fastened to the roof. Once the curb is in place, you can begin positioning and securing the RTU.
Positioning and Securing the RTU
Position the RTU on top of the curb and secure it in place using appropriate fasteners. Make sure that the RTU is level and properly aligned with the curb to ensure proper airflow and drainage. Use vibration isolation pads to minimize noise and vibration.
Connecting Ductwork and Electrical Components
Connect the ductwork to the RTU and make sure that all connections are properly sealed to prevent air leaks. Connect the electrical components according to the manufacturer's instructions and local electrical codes. Make sure that all wiring is properly grounded and protected.
Finalizing Installation and Testing
Once the RTU is securely in place and all connections are made, perform a final inspection to ensure that everything is properly installed and functioning correctly. Test the RTU to make sure that it is providing adequate airflow and cooling/heating as needed.
Remember to always follow safety protocols during the installation process and to perform regular maintenance on the RTU to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Post-Installation Considerations
Congratulations, you have successfully installed a new curb and rooftop unit on your building. However, your work is not yet complete. There are several post-installation considerations that you should keep in mind to ensure that your system operates efficiently and lasts for its intended lifespan.
Inspecting for Leaks and Obstructions
After installation, it is important to inspect the system for leaks and obstructions. Leaks in the ductwork or around the unit can cause energy loss, decreased efficiency, and poor indoor air quality. Obstructions in the ductwork or around the unit can restrict airflow, causing the system to work harder than necessary, which can lead to premature system failure.
Maintenance and Upkeep
Regular maintenance and upkeep are critical for ensuring that your system operates efficiently and lasts for its intended lifespan. This includes cleaning or replacing air filters, inspecting and cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, and lubricating moving parts. Neglecting maintenance can lead to decreased efficiency, increased energy costs, and premature system failure.
At D&G Exteriors, we understand the importance of regular maintenance and upkeep. That's why we offer comprehensive maintenance plans to help keep your system running smoothly.
Evaluating System Performance
After installation, it is important to evaluate the system's performance to ensure that it is operating efficiently. This includes monitoring energy usage, airflow, and indoor air quality. If you notice any issues, such as increased energy costs or poor indoor air quality, it may be time to call in a professional to diagnose and address the issue.
At D&G Exteriors, we are committed to providing our customers with the highest level of service and expertise. With years of experience as a roofing and exteriors contractor in the Boston area, we have the knowledge and expertise to ensure that your system operates efficiently and lasts for its intended lifespan.
