The Lifespan Lowdown: How Long Does a Rooftop Unit System Last?
In the bustling heartbeats of cities like Montreal, Laval, and Longueuil, commercial spaces are not just brick and mortar; they're the lifeblood of commerce, the epicenters of enterprise. And at the heart of these spaces, ensuring comfort and optimal working conditions, is the Rooftop Unit System. One question we often encounter at AirGreen is: "How long can I expect my Rooftop Unit System to last?" Let's unravel this mystery together.
The Average Lifespan: Setting Expectations
On average, a well-maintained Rooftop Unit System can serve your commercial space diligently for 15 to 20 years. However, this number isn't set in stone. Several factors can extend or reduce this lifespan, much like the variables that determine how long that office plant you've named "Bob" will thrive beside the window.
Factors Influencing Your System's Lifespan
-
Maintenance Frequency: Just as you'd service a car, regular check-ups and maintenance can keep your system purring for longer. Think of it as giving your system a spa day, minus the cucumber slices.
-
Installation Quality: A system installed with precision and expertise will undoubtedly outlive one that's been hastily slapped together. It's the difference between a tailor-made suit and a one-size-fits-all poncho.
-
Usage Patterns: If your system is running 24/7, 365 days a year, it's bound to feel the strain. It's like asking your grandmother to run a marathon daily. Not ideal.
-
Environmental Factors: Harsh weather conditions, especially the icy fingers of Montreal winters, can take a toll. It's akin to the wear and tear your shoes experience during a particularly adventurous hike.

Cleanliness is Key: Ensure the surrounding area is free from debris and dust. It's like keeping your computer's keyboard crumb-free, but on a larger scale.
