Running a business in West Hempstead, NY has its fair share of challenges—angry customers, inventory headaches, and the occasional intern who thinks “clocking in” means checking the time on their iPhone. But nothing, nothing, throws a wrench into your workflow like a broken rooftop HVAC unit on a hot Monday morning. One local business learned this the hard way… and then they called the HVAC superheroes at Pipe Doctor Home Services.
When the Rooftop Unit Says “Nope.”
The call came in at 7:04 AM. A frantic voice said:
“The A/C’s not working. It’s hotter than Satan’s sauna in here. My employees are melting. The breakroom coffee machine is brewing iced coffee… on its own!”
This was a commercial property in West Hempstead, relying on a rooftop HVAC unit (RTU) to cool down their entire first-floor operation. And let’s just say… it wasn’t doing its job. One tech even joked, “That RTU’s putting out heat like it’s trying to win a chili cook-off.”
Luckily, Pipe Doctor Home Services specializes in commercial HVAC service, including those finicky rooftop units that most other companies avoid like last week’s tuna sandwich.
Diagnosis: One Fried HVAC Brain
Mikey Pipes and the crew rolled up in full force—tool bags, safety harnesses, and a box of donuts (because even HVAC heroes need carbs). After a quick rooftop climb that would make Spider-Man jealous, they found the culprit: a fried control board, a shorted capacitor, and a compressor that sounded like it was grinding coffee beans.
Let’s put it this way: this unit was not having a good day.
But neither was the client. The office had become a greenhouse, papers were curling like potato chips, and the manager was two minutes away from moving operations into the walk-in freezer.
Rooftop HVAC Repair? Nailed It.
The Pipe Doctor crew went to work. They replaced the control board, swapped the capacitor, adjusted the refrigerant charge, and performed a full electrical and airflow test—all in under four hours. The rooftop unit roared back to life, blowing cool air like a boss and making everyone below do the happy dance of HVAC salvation.
By lunchtime, it was 72°F inside and all was right in the West Hempstead world.
