Types of Packaged Units
- Packaged Air Conditioners: The compressor, coils, air handler are conveniently contained in one cabinet. The packaged air conditioner can also generate limited warmth by using an electrical strip heating element.
- Packaged Heat Pumps: A packaged heat pump uses heat pump technology to cool and heat your home.
- Packaged Gas-Electric: The packaged gas-electric unit contains an air conditioner and a furnace that operates with gas.
- Packaged Dual-Fuel: The packaged dual-fuel system contains a heat pump and gas furnace. This type of system optimizes the heating source for conditions, providing comfort all year round.
Advantages of Packaged Units
Packaged units are excellent for buildings that don’t have ductwork installed already. They cost less to put in place than split systems because only one unit needs to be set up rather than multiple units. Packaged units are also simpler to take care of since all the mechanisms are housed in a single machine.
Disadvantages of Packaged Units
Package units are less energy-efficient than split systems because the compressor and condenser are in the same unit. Therefore, the air inside gets hotter, making the unit work harder and use more energy. Package units also require more space than split systems because they are one large unit rather than multiple small ones.
