An RTU Air Conditioner Unit is getting new air conditioner condenser coils because the old condenser coils were leaking. The old roof top condenser coils were loosing more the 50 lbs. of r-22 refrigerant per year. By law and the E.P.A. section 608 the unit had to be condemned or the leaking roof top condenser coils needed to be replaced. The job required two technicians working a full day and then one had to return the next day to finish the job. Because the rooftop air conditioning unit served offices and those offices were served by the rooftop air conditioning unit during the week, the job was done on the weekend so the customer wouldn't be uncomfortable. The rooftop air conditioning unit worked good as new after the air conditioner condenser coils were replaced.
It is recommended that an evaluation be done of the RTU air conditioner unit condensing coils and the unit as a whole. Sometimes, if you factor in the age of the unit, the cost of repairing the RTU air conditoner condenser coils, and the possibilty that another major component could fail, it makes more more sense to replace the whole unit rather than replacing a major component especially and air conditioner compressor or a RTU air conitioner unit condenser coil. Always consult a professional when doing an analysis like this on an RTU air conditioner unit.
