The Importance of Rooftop Supports in HVAC
The Importance of Rooftop Supports in HVAC
Have you ever looked up at a commercial building and noticed the various equipment and features mounted on the roof? Look closely and you’ll see that there are metal frames, supports, and mounting gear attaching these pieces of equipment to the roof.
Enter the concept of roof supports. These purpose-built systems support equipment and features like HVAC units, ductwork, stairs, ramps, and more.
While often overlooked, roof supports play a crucial role in optimizing the operations and efficiency of a business’s HVAC system while protecting the roof, equipment, and the employees and products below. Not only do they provide stability and shelter for rooftop accessories, but they also allow for safe and compliant maintenance in accordance with OSHA standards.
Proper installation of custom-fitted roof supports is critical for HVAC units, given their size and weight. An expertly designed and installed roof support prevents moisture, debris, and pests from penetrating into the building while ensuring the HVAC unit is level, secured, and airtight. This ensures maximum efficiency of the heating and air conditioning system while maintaining the building’s structural integrity.
