What Is a Packaged HVAC Unit?
Unlike traditional HVAC systems that have separate indoor and outdoor components, a packaged unit houses everything in one cabinet — heating, cooling, and all the major components.
It sits outside your home (often beside it) and connects directly to your ductwork. That makes it a great option for homes without attics, basements, or crawl spaces — or anywhere space is limited.
Why Install a New Packaged Unit?
All-in-One Heating & Cooling
Everything lives in one outdoor cabinet — no indoor furnace or air handler needed.
Great for Tight Spaces
No attic, crawlspace, or basement? No problem. Packaged units stay outside, out of the way — and don't eat up indoor square footage.
Fast, Low-Hassle Installation
Fewer parts and fewer steps mean most installs are done in a single day — without major disruption to your home.
Fewer Breakdowns
Upgrading means fewer surprise repairs and less stress when the weather swings — especially during peak seasons.
Quiet, Smooth Operation
Modern packaged systems are engineered to run quieter than older models — no rattles, no roar, just clean comfort.
Energy Efficient by Design
New units meet higher SEER2 standards and run more efficiently than aging systems.
Easier to Service
With everything in one outdoor unit, maintenance is faster, cleaner, and doesn't require crawling through tight spaces.
Cleaner, More Compact Look
Today's systems have a smaller footprint and a more streamlined profile — ideal for small lots or rooftops.
Reliable Comfort, Year-Round
Consistent heating and cooling across seasons — without uneven temps, short cycling, or struggling to keep up.

System size depends on your home's square footage, insulation, ductwork, and layout. Bigger isn't always better — we'll size your system correctly to avoid waste and uneven temps.
