Lennox and AIR Technologies Deliver a Seamless Rooftop Replacement
When a severe hailstorm damaged all HVAC rooftop units at Cross Rock Place in Oklahoma City, AIR Technologies - A Fidelity Company partnered with Lennox Commercial to deliver a fast, uniform and disruption-free replacement. Leveraging decades of service history at the property and the performance advantages of the Xion™ Rooftop Unit, the team executed a streamlined installation that improved comfort, reliability and the building's overall rooftop appearance.
Overview
Cross Rock Place, a two-story multi-tenant office building in the Quail Ridge area of greater Oklahoma City, faced a major operational challenge after a severe hailstorm damaged 28 rooftop units. The building owner wanted the equipment to be replaced quickly, uniformly and with minimal disruption to tenants.
As the building’s long-time HVAC service partner and trusted HVAC/Mechanical services company in the greater Oklahoma City, Oklahoma area, AIR Technologies, A Fidelity Building Services Group Company, was positioned to lead the full-system replacement. With more than 20 years of history servicing the property, the team understood the building’s needs, the owner’s expectations and the importance of maintaining a clean, professional appearance throughout the project.
Solution
Selecting the Right Rooftop Unit Equipment
AIR Technologies chose 28 Lennox Xion™ Rooftop Units as the ideal replacement solution—continuing the building's longstanding use of Lennox equipment. Lennox was the strongest choice based upon:
Consistent unit footprints and curb alignments ensured a smooth, clean installation across all 28 replacements
Service-friendly design reduced future maintenance time and costs
Proven reliability and strong local support minimized risk and aligned with the owner's expectations
"At the end of the day, Lennox made the most sense—not only from a cost perspective, but also for the aesthetics and performance," said Ryan Carriger, Business Development Representative at AIR Technologies.
Designed for seamless rooftop integration, Xion™ rooftop units simplify installation and adapt easily to a wide range of applications. Equipped with the Lennox CORE Lite Unit Controller, they support efficient service and maintenance while delivering dependable, year-round performance. This combination of quick adaptability, reliable operation serviceable design made Xion™ an ideal fit for the project's fast-turnaround needs.
Another advantage was that a curb adapter promotion was running and reduced costs across all 28 units. "That really helped with the overall project cost," Carriger added. "It was a win-win for everyone."
Results
With the project now complete, the benefits of the new Lennox Commercial systems are already clear:
Greater equipment reliability and fewer service interruptions
Enhanced comfort and consistent performance across all 28 units
A clean, uniform rooftop appearance
"Everything went really well—timely equipment deliveries, curb adapters and accessories. It was a smooth process from start to finish." said Carriger.
A Longstanding Partnership
AIR Technologies' 25-year relationship with Lennox played an important role in the project's success.
"Lennox has always put out a really good product, and anytime there's been an issue, they've worked with us directly to resolve it," said Carriger. "That's something that continues to drive our relationship with Lennox."
Conclusion
The rooftop unit replacement at Cross Rock Place stands as a strong example of strategic planning, reliable equipment selection and seamless execution. With all 28 new Xion™ installed and running smoothly, AIR Technologies and Lennox Commercial have delivered a solution that improves comfort, appearance and long-term reliability—while reinforcing a partnership built over decades.
