Residential Package Units
  • There are two basic types of Residential Air Conditioning equipment.
       The most common is the split system consisting of an outdoor
       condenser, an indoor evaporator coil, a gas or electric furnace, a
       duct work system and refrigeration piping and wiring connecting
       them. A Package Unit has all of these components together in one
       cabinet and it is located outside of the home on the ground or on the
       roof with supply and return ductwork connecting it to the inside of the
       house.

  • Package Units come in Heat Pump as well as normal cooling and
       heating configurations. Generally, heating is by natural gas but
       electric resistance heat and heat pump systems are readily available.

  • Outdoor Package Units are versatile and can be used where space,
        location, or unusual circumstances of the construction of the home
        are present. They are commonly used in the manufactured housing
        industry where their ease of application to the home is preferred
        especially in rural areas.

  • Package AC Units are now available in high and ultra high efficiency
       systems (13 seer or higher) just like split system Air Conditioning
       systems. They also are available with the new R-410a
       environmentally friendly refrigerant.

  • Most residential and rural homes only have single phase power in
       their electrical service and Residential Package units are made to run
       off of this type of power application.
