Crane Service & Air Conditioners
Have you ever wondered how we lift a heavy air conditioner onto the roof of a home or business? We use a crane! An A/C unit weighs between 700 to 800 pounds, and getting a unit on the roof would be impossible without a crane.
We Hire the Best Crane Service
We use a third party crane service, Smiley Crane, who is trusted Valley-wide for their safety record. The crane service comes equipped with their own safety straps to secure the air conditioning unit. One of our technicians instructs the crane operator as to where the unit needs to be placed, and helps strap the unit to the crane's arm. One of our installers remains on the roof to guide the crane operator in placing the unit. The A/C unit must be placed perfectly on the roof, lining up with the ductwork and frame that we constructed to fit the unit.
Seeing an air conditioner being hoisted high into the air is always an interesting sight, and often, neighbors or the homeowners come outside to take pictures! Here are a few of our favorite pictures!
