Rooftop unit repair and replacement

We repair RTUs of every brand: compressors, fan motors, economizers, gas sections, control boards and refrigerant leaks, with a flat-rate price before we start. When a unit is at the end of its life we handle the replacement end to end: sizing, curb adapters, crane scheduling, gas and electrical, startup and the paperwork for your records.

  • Economizer and ventilation repairs that fix the stuffy-room complaints
  • Replacement proposals with efficiency, cost and rebate options in writing
  • Repairs guaranteed for one year, parts and labor

Maintenance plans that keep you open

A rooftop unit that is checked twice a year rarely dies on a Friday in July. Our maintenance plans cover filters, belts, coils, drains, refrigerant charge, electrical connections and a written condition report each visit, with priority response when something does go wrong.

  • Spring and fall visits scheduled around your hours
  • Filter and belt programs sized to your building
  • A written report after every visit so property owners and managers know what they own

Restaurants, shops, offices and property managers

  • Restaurant HVAC, where a dead unit means a closed kitchen
  • Split systems and ductless equipment for offices, server rooms and tenant spaces
  • Unit heaters for shops and warehouses
  • One point of contact, written proposals and photos of the work for property managers with multiple buildings

How it works

What happens when you call A-1

1

You call or text, any hour

A person answers 414-595-5175, not a call center. We ask a few quick questions and give you a real arrival window, not a guess.

2

We find the actual problem

We test before we replace anything and show you the readings, so you can see what failed and why.

3

You approve a flat-rate price

You get the price before any work starts, with repair and replacement options in writing when both make sense. No hourly surprises.

4

We fix it, test it and clean up

Most repairs are finished on the first visit. We test the system, clean up after ourselves and explain what we did.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer commercial maintenance agreements?

Yes. Twice-a-year service on each unit, a written condition report, and priority response for plan customers. We quote by the building after a short walkthrough.

How fast can you replace a rooftop unit?

Common sizes are often available within days; crane scheduling usually sets the date. We can keep an aging unit limping along while the replacement is on the way.

Can you work after hours so you don’t disrupt my business?

Yes. Early mornings, evenings and weekends are routine for restaurants and retail. We schedule around you.

What areas do you cover for commercial work?

Milwaukee County and Waukesha County.

Are your repairs guaranteed?

Yes. Every repair is guaranteed for one year, parts and labor. If something we fixed fails within that year, call us and we make it right at no charge.
