Split System vs RTU
RTU
An RTU is a packaged unit that holds both heating and cooling components. This packaged system is typically installed on a roof and saves space indoors. RTUs are typically ideal for larger open areas like retail stores or warehouses. In a typical 10 ton commercial RTU install, you would have the packaged unit itself and then the other components such as a crane or lift to place the unit on the roof and the curb to provide the base for the 10 ton commercial RTU. While the 10 ton commercial RTU price is between $19,047.41 to $19,715.98, the need for a crane or new curb may increase the total price.
Commercial Split System
The 10 ton commercial split system differs from the RTU by separating the indoor and outdoor unit and connects them using refrigerant lines. These units are also installed differently and typically are good for business with indoor space for air handling equipment. The 10 ton commercial split system is roughly $19,583.13 for the equipment, additional factors such as needing a new or bigger lineset, new ductwork or any air quality products can all increase the 10 ton commercial split system price.Â
10 Ton Commercial RTU Addons
Often times you need additional equipment that is not included in the price of the install, such as renting a crane, using an air handler lift, and selecting the proper curb size. Each of these things all increase the total 10 ton commercial RTU price. Crane rentals typically cost $750 to $950 depending on the boom size, this is crucial for safely lifting the equipment to the roof. For booms over 120 feet, specialized equipment may require a separate quote. An air handler lift adds $450 to $650. This allows for the safe movement of air handling units within indoor spaces while reducing injury risks and property damage. A high quality commercial installation ensures long-term reliability of the 10 ton commercial RTU. The curb size can also cost $1,217 to $2,128.54 depending on the dimensions, this is only needed if the curb already in place is not the correct size. Proper curb sizing not only meets building codes but also prevents structural issues and costly repairs. Although these addons do increase the 10 ton commercial RTU price, they are essential for a safe and high quality installation.
