Common York Rooftop Unit Problems
York rooftop units are everywhere on older GTA plazas and industrial buildings, especially in Scarborough, Brampton and Mississauga. Many of the York Sunline units we see were installed in the 1990s and 2000s and are now at or past end of life: rusted base rails, crumbling coil fins, repeat compressor failures and refrigerant that is no longer made.
Newer York Predator and York Sun Choice units bring their own calls: controls faults, sensors, economizer issues and the usual capacitors and contactors. We read the control board diagnostics first, then work through electrical, refrigerant and airflow.
York Models We Sell and Service
York Sunline
The legacy workhorse. Many are candidates for phased replacement. When a Sunline needs a second compressor or has an R-22 leak, the written comparison usually favours replacement.
York Predator
A common replacement for legacy York footprints, available in a wide tonnage range. We install Predator units on in-house curb adapters so the swap needs no new roof opening.
York Sun Choice
York's packaged line for light commercial applications. Used on plazas and small offices.
York YK chillers
Part of Johnson Controls, York YK centrifugal chillers are serviced by our CRE-ticketed crew. See commercial chiller service.
Legacy York Replacement Planning
Owners with roofs full of aging Sunline units are better served by a plan than a series of emergencies. We survey every unit, rank by condition, refrigerant and risk, and build a two- or three-season replacement schedule with Save on Energy filed for each phase. This approach suits Golden Mile buildings in Scarborough and older plazas across the GTA. See commercial rooftop unit replacement.
