Swap a gas rooftop HVAC unit for a heat-pump unit, 5665 W Wilshire block

Gas-pack rooftop units on this block's commercial buildings burn fossil fuel for heat over an electric grid that gets cleaner every year; a packaged heat-pump swap on the same curb is the direct Energy-Petal repair. Standard: Living Building Challenge 4.0 — Energy Petal (net-positive energy). Solar, heat pumps, storage, and EV readiness ARE Energy-petal work. SDG 7. Proof: permit + recovery record + commissioning sheet + inspection pass + before/after photos + GPS Method (Living Building Challenge 4.0 — Energy Petal (net-positive energy). Solar, heat pumps, storage, and EV readiness ARE Energy-petal work. SDG 7.): 1. Verify the load sizing and curb adapter plan against the existing unit; photograph nameplates and confirm permit + crane/landing logistics with the building. 2. Recover refrigerant from the old unit per EPA 608 and remove it for documented disposal/recycling. 3. Set the new packaged heat-pump unit on the curb adapter; connect ducting, condensate and controls; a licensed electrician lands the circuit. 4. Commission: verify charge, airflow, delta-T in both modes, and economizer/controls operation. 5. Pass the mechanical/electrical inspection; photograph commissioning readings and the finished installation. Done when: permit + recovery record + commissioning sheet + inspection pass + before/after photos + GPS

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 360–720 minutes. Method of record: Heat-pump HVAC replacement sized by ACCA Manual J/S, installed per manufacturer + local mechanical/electrical permits (ENERGY STAR cold-climate list where applicable) — licensed crew; assess→install→verify

Bring

Manual J/S load calculation + approved permit
heat-pump equipment (outdoor + indoor units), line set, pad/brackets, condensate handling
refrigerant gauges/scale + vacuum pump + torque tools (EPA 608-certified technician)
multimeter + thermometer/anemometer for commissioning airflow and delta-T

Steps

1. ASSESS: verify the Manual J/S sizing against the home (envelope, ductwork or head locations), confirm electrical capacity for the new circuit, and photograph the existing system and nameplates.
2. Decommission and recover refrigerant from the old system per EPA 608; remove equipment for lawful disposal/recycling and document it.
3. Set and mount the new equipment, run and braze/flare the line set, pull vacuum to spec, and release/weigh in charge per manufacturer; a licensed electrician lands the new circuit and disconnect.
4. Commission: verify airflow, refrigerant charge (subcooling/superheat per spec), heating and cooling delta-T, and condensate drainage; set up controls/thermostat.
5. VERIFY: pass the mechanical/electrical inspection; record commissioning numbers and before/after photos; leave the owner the manual, warranty registration, and maintenance schedule.

If it does not match the plan

Load calc missing or equipment more than one size off Manual S -> STOP: resize before install.
Electrical panel cannot support the new circuit -> route to panel/service upgrade first; never overload.
Refrigerant handling by non-EPA-608-certified person -> STOP.

What counts as done

Old refrigerant recovered and disposal documented (EPA 608)
Commissioning sheet complete: vacuum level, charge method, delta-T, airflow within manufacturer spec
Permit inspection(s) passed; disconnect and circuit labeled
Before/after photos + nameplate photos on file

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
