Serving Golden Mile, Agincourt, Highway 401 industrial
Scarborough's Golden Mile and 401 industrial stock carries older RTUs on legacy curbs. We phase replacements to keep tenants running, fabricate curb adapters in-house and coordinate crane days.
Risk Disclosure
The local pattern
What you see: The RTUs are past 20 years and failing, but the owner does not want to fund new units on a building that could come down within the decade.
Why it happens here: The Golden Mile's commercial and industrial stock dates back to the 1950s boom along Eglinton Ave East, and the City's Golden Mile Secondary Plan now points much of that land at redevelopment.
What we do: We rank each unit, repair what can carry the building to its likely horizon, and phase replacements only where the payback fits, with Save on Energy filed on each phase.
01
A residential tech misreads a commercial economizer and replaces parts that did not need it. We megger windings and test controls before anyone quotes a compressor.
02
A contractor quotes a 5-ton split when the roof needs a 10-ton packaged unit. Manual J/S sizing and a curb check come before the quote, not after the crane.
03
Nobody files Save on Energy and the PM leaves $8K-$30K on the table. We lock the pre-approval before equipment is ordered and net it on the invoice.

How it works
Five steps, the same on every job, from a single compressor to a multi-unit program.
A Red Seal lead walks the roof, reads nameplates, checks curbs, access and electrical, and logs every symptom.
Parts, labour, crane, permit and HST on one line, plus the repair-vs-replace math when the unit is old.
We file Save on Energy or Enbridge paperwork before equipment is ordered, so the rebate is locked in.
WSIB crews, crane day and street-occupancy permits handled. Tenants get a schedule, not a surprise.
Startup readings, controls check and a commissioning report you can file. Final 25% only after sign-off.
Standard 5-10 ton RTU: 3-5 business days from quote to startup.
Written quote within 24 hours, final 25% only after commissioning sign-off. Call (437) TBD.

Local logistics
The district is inside our 2-4 hour GTA core response. Crews reach the Highway 401 industrial belt and the Town Centre from the 401, the Golden Mile along Eglinton Ave East from the DVP, and Agincourt and Malvern from the 401 and Sheppard.
The Eglinton Crosstown and ongoing road work along the Golden Mile can slow access, so crane days are planned with traffic in mind. Most industrial roofs off the 401 have yard access for cranes, and our 20-ton warehouse job was set by crane after a structural check with permits, lift and startup on the promised dates. Because the district is in the City of Toronto, cranes on municipal roads need City ROW permits, which we file.
Building familiarity
The pattern is aging equipment on curbs that new units do not fit. We phase replacements over months or seasons so tenants keep running, fabricate curb adapters in-house and coordinate crane days so a whole roof is not opened at once. Many York Sunline and Carrier units here are at end of life.
Seasons on these roofs
Older units fail first in the first heat wave and the first deep freeze, so phased programs here usually replace the worst units in spring and the next group in fall. Save on Energy pre-approval takes 4-8 weeks, so filing in winter sets up spring lifts. Industrial gas heat sections should be checked in October before warehouse doors start opening into cold weather.

Local questions
The district sits inside our GTA core, so a tech reaches the Golden Mile, Agincourt, Malvern and the 401 industrial belt in 2-4 hours after a 30-minute dispatch window, 24/7.
Not always. The City's Golden Mile Secondary Plan points much of the Eglinton Ave East corridor at redevelopment, so we rank units by risk and repair what can carry the building to its likely horizon. Replacement is quoted only where the payback fits.
Yes. We rank units by condition and risk, replace the worst first, and schedule the rest over the following seasons so tenants stay running and capex is spread out.
We fabricate custom curb adapters in our own shop and re-flash at the curb, so a new unit sits on the old opening without rebuilding the roof.
15-20 ton units run $32K-$58K installed in 7-10 days with structural review and crane. Our 20-ton warehouse unit off the 401 was set by crane after a structural check.
If the crane sits on a City of Toronto road, yes: a ROW and street occupancy permit. Lifts from private industrial yards usually do not. We file whatever is needed as part of the quote.
Yes. We are an authorized York dealer for Predator, Sunline and Sun Choice units and plan replacements for legacy York equipment on Golden Mile and Agincourt roofs.
Yes. Repairs, maintenance and replacement on 3-10 ton RTUs over retail and restaurant tenants along Eglinton Ave East.
Nearby coverage
Markham's tech and office parks along Highway 7 and the 404 run multi-tenant mid-rises where a server room cannot lose cooling. We plan RTU redundancy, controls integration and quarterly maintenance around that.
