What Is a Packaged Unit?

What Is a Packaged Unit?

Have you ever heard the term "packaged unit" mentioned by HVAC professionals and wondered what it means and how it differs from other HVAC systems? Rest assured, we will not only answer your questions about packaged units but also provide expert advice on whether it is the right choice for your home or business.

A packaged unit is a self-contained HVAC system that includes all the components necessary for heating and cooling in one unit; unlike split systems, which have indoor and outdoor units, packaged units are designed for outdoor installation and are typically mounted on a concrete slab or rooftop. If you need further clarification with your HVAC system, don't hesitate to contact us for professional AC service in Kansas City, KS

Types Of Packaged Units

Several packaged units are available, each with advantages and disadvantages. The most common types of packaged units are:

  • Air Conditioning Packaged Units: These units only provide cooling and are ideal for warmer climates where heating is unnecessary.
  • Heat Pump Packaged Units: These units can provide heating and cooling and are often used in moderate climates where temperatures don't drop below freezing.
  • Gas/Electric Packaged Units: These units combine a gas furnace with an electric air conditioner and are ideal for areas with harsh winters.
  • Dual Fuel Packaged Units: These units combine a gas furnace with a heat pump, allowing switching between gas and electric heat depending on outdoor temperatures.

Benefits Of Packaged Units

  • Space-Saving: Packaged units are designed to take up less space than traditional HVAC systems. Since all the components are combined in one unit, there's no need for an indoor unit or ductwork.
  • Easy Installation: Because packaged units are designed for outdoor installation, they can be installed quickly and easily by HVAC professionals. Don't hesitate to call us for professional AC installation in Kansas City, KS.
  • Energy Efficient: Packaged units are typically more energy efficient than traditional HVAC systems, saving you money on utility bills.
  • Customizable: Packaged units come in various sizes and configurations, making finding a unit that meets your needs easy.

Packaged units are an excellent choice for many homeowners and business owners, but they're not the right choice for everyone. Here below are a few factors to consider when deciding whether a packaged unit is suitable for you:

  • Space Constraints: If you have limited space for your HVAC system, a packaged unit may be the best choice.
  • Climate: Packaged units are best suited for moderate climates where heating and cooling are needed.

After getting several estimates and talking with 3 other companies, it was clear Delta T was the right company to replace our aging furnace and AC unit. They offered a very competitive price but what really impressed me was Adam’s knowledge, attention to detail and desire to make sure the installation was perfect. I highly recommend these guys, you won’t be disappointed.

The tech came and checked our heating system, got it all ready for winter, and explained everything I needed to know, for a reasonable price. Bonus, he also explained 2 or 3 ways why upgrades wouldn’t be necessary, and how to prolong the life of the system. Will definitely continue to use them.
