Relocate HVAC to rooftop to stop theft

The customer contacted us directly about using the REACH System as a companion for several HVAC units on this project. The condensers were previously on ground-level and thieves gutted the equipment for copper. Moving the condensers to the rooftop would provide added security and will also minimize damage caused by parking lot traffic.

Five (5) REACH Systems provided the necessary connections for seven (7) HVAC split-units. This eliminated two rooftop penetrations completely.

The installation contractors had never worked with REACH Systems and weren't amenable about using the REACH on their installation (we find contractors don't always like change), but the customer insisted.

The finished installation pleased the customer immensely, but the contractors still weren't completely sold on the value of the REACH System. They didn't have any real complaints about the REACH - it just seems change comes harder for some people.
