High tech makes RTU HVAC safer

Working on a rooftop unit has some serious built-in hazards: snow, rain, ice, heat, high winds. Not to mention repeated trips up ladders while toting tools and parts.

So building-owners will win the gratitude of HVAC technicians if they invest in sensors and remote monitoring systems that let much of the work be done from ground level.

They also may be saving lives. Government statistics show that more than 100 workers a year die in falls from ladders and construction sites.

Reducing the number of in-person visits to RTUs is just one benefit of these advancements.

New systems with digital controls and meters let building-owners, employees and technicians monitor HVAC operations remotely. Now they can detect systems early and diagnose problems before they even touch the RTU. This can be a major reduction in expenses.
