What Certifications Are Required for a Large Rooftop HVAC Unit in the United States?

There is no single certification package that automatically applies to every commercial rooftop HVAC project in the United States.

Requirements depend on the equipment type, capacity, refrigerant, electrical configuration, state, local jurisdiction and project specifications.

Typical U.S. Compliance Areas

• AHRI performance certification where applicable
• UL or ETL safety certification where required
• Federal energy-efficiency requirements
• Applicable refrigerant regulations
• Mechanical-code requirements
• Electrical-code requirements
• State and local building requirements

Certain projects may also specify additional documentation or approvals.

For example, Florida rooftop installations may require additional review of roof mounting, structural conditions, wind resistance and local permitting.
