Move A C To Roof

Hi all we recently moved into a home that has 3 a c zones with a separate compressor for each zone.

Move a c to roof.

If you find that one of these vents is in an inconvenient location or isn t cooling properly you can move it to a new location. It may be too close to your home and too noisy or it may be placed on ground that is eroding. I need to upgrade these units so i am also looking into moving them to the rooftop and reclaiming the patio space plus lack of noise. Before a unit can be moved the unit must have the existing freon pumped down or back into it.

Hey i own a townhouse in dallas which means crazy hot summers. Hoping contact can be made prior to the roof replacement but if not i will have to remove the dish and place it next to the house until i can get them to move it. It s an old home and it used spacepak high velocity cooling inside of home. As it turns out getting an ac system on your roof is not more expensive.

One man stays in the truck loading shingles onto the belt while another is stationed on the roof offloading the supplies as they are carried up by the moving belt. Currently the 2 zone central heat and air a c units are located ground patio level. Anyway we are looking a putting a deck on the back of the house and wanted to move the 3 three compressors about 10. In fact it costs roughly the same as having a split system installed.

You probably won t get ostracized from the neighborhood if you move your air conditioner to the roof when the rest of the houses have theirs on the ground but when go you go sell your home it might matter. Well that can get pretty expensive. The freon lines have to be emptied and evacuated re routed and reconnected then vacuum evacuated again then only a certified a c tech can legally buy enough freon to recharge the unit and they ll have the proper tools to do that. You may wish to move your air conditioning unit for a number of reasons.

Your talking about moving the condenser unit from the roof to the ground. Although most of the work can be done on your own when moving your ac unit you will have to call a licensed hvac technician to discharge and recharge your system before and after it has been moved. It s also hot on the roof with the sun beating down directly onto the unit. We are giving a new roof installed and want to relocate the dish to a post.

Have been on hold to customer service for 3 hours. After all the roof is far off the ground and people have to get the system up there. Essentially this system is one where a conveyer belt on a rigid platform extends directly from a truck up to the roof. Moving the air conditioner is one of those modifications that can t easily be undone.

Moving a unit isn t as easy or inexpensive as you may believe.
