Therefore, its footprint is compatible with most roof curbs without modifications or adaptors.&nbsp; This (and items listed below) result in a faster, easier, and less expensive installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Simplified control wiring integration and color-coded numbered wiring saves time during diagnosis &amp; servicing. \u00a0<\/li><li>Common roof curb for 3- to 5-ton units install without needing an adaptor.\u00a0<\/li><li>Easy access service panels make it faster and easier for service techs to gain access when working on units.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Efficiency saves money<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to saving money on the install, you\u2019ll save on operating costs for your business because Foundation rooftop units comply with ASHRAE\u2019s efficiency standards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why?&nbsp; Many rooftop units over 5 years old may not meet today\u2019s standards for energy efficiency.&nbsp; This may be costing you more money than you realize when you add up the monthly savings from high efficiency equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kdmeci.com\/contact-us.html\" target=\"_blank\">Contact K &amp; D Mechanical, Inc.<\/a> for more details about our commercial installation, repair, and maintenance services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trane Foundation light commercial rooftop units are ideal for replacing aging equipment in Seattle area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-82","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-equipment"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
