Many Northeast Georgia businesses cool and heat from the roof. When that unit will not start, is blowing the wrong temperature, or is leaking onto the roof, the problem shows up in the dining room, the sales floor, the sanctuary, or the office — not just on the rooftop.
Patriot Service is a veteran-owned company serving businesses in Jefferson, Commerce, Athens, and throughout Northeast Georgia. We diagnose and repair rooftop units, replace failed parts, and install a new unit when repair is no longer the better option. We are open 24/7 at (706) 870-7665.
Signs it is time to call
A rooftop unit that will not start, is short-cycling, is blowing warm air when it should be cooling, or is leaking from a drain pan should not wait. The same is true if the space is too hot, too cold, or uneven, or if the system is noisy, freezing up, or leaking at the drain.
Other reasons to call include a unit that will not heat or cool, is blowing the wrong temperature, has a frozen coil or outdoor section, or has controls that are no longer calling correctly. You do not have to decide whether it is a repair or a replacement, or which part has failed. Call (706) 870-7665. We will diagnose the issue, tell you what we found, and repair it when that is still the right path.

What we look at on a rooftop call
When we visit the building, we diagnose the system and look at the conditions that make a unit fail early: dirty coils, worn belts and motors, clogged drains, and controls that are no longer calling correctly. If a part has failed and repair is still the right path, we will tell you what we recommend and, after your approval, replace the parts that are not working properly.
A unit cannot do its job if the ducts are leaking or blocked, so we also work on the duct systems that move air through the building — installation, cleaning, and repair.
If you smell gas, leave the building and call 911 or the gas company.
When replacement may be the better option
If the equipment is worn out or undersized, or if repair is no longer the better option, we can quote a replacement and handle the installation. We will visit the building, size the equipment, set the unit securely, and commission the controls before we leave. Every building is different, so we look at the property first.
We will be direct about which path we recommend, and why. You do not have to guess based on the age of the unit or a list of symptoms. If you are not sure whether the unit can still be repaired, call anyway — we will look at it and tell you.
Do not wait until the space is unusable
A rooftop problem that starts as a short cycle or a slow leak can become a closed dining room on a Saturday, a too-hot sanctuary on Sunday, or an office that has to send staff home. If the unit is already down, call us. If it is still running but is not keeping the space comfortable, that is also a reason to call — not a reason to wait and see.
If a rooftop unit goes down at night, on a weekend, or on a holiday, emergency commercial HVAC service is 24/7 at (706) 870-7665. You do not have to diagnose the problem first. You can also read more on our 24/7 emergency service page.
A scheduled maintenance visit is how a lot of these problems get caught early. Patriot's HVAC Maintenance Program is available for commercial buildings, and you can see our Maintenance Programs overview. We will explain what it includes and what it costs when you call.
