Air Conditioner Package Units

Air conditioner package units are self-contained HVAC systems that combine the major cooling components into a single outdoor cabinet. These systems are designed to provide efficient whole-home or light commercial cooling while saving indoor installation space, making them ideal for rooftops, slab-mounted installations, modular homes, and buildings with limited mechanical room availability.

Unlike traditional split systems, package AC units keep the condenser, compressor, evaporator coil, and air handler together in one cabinet for simplified installation and maintenance access.

What you’ll find here

  • Residential air conditioner package units
  • Light commercial packaged cooling systems
  • Rooftop and ground-mounted package AC units
  • High-efficiency SEER2 packaged air conditioners
  • Self-contained cooling systems for ducted HVAC setups
  • Units compatible with electric heat kits and optional heating accessories

How to choose

  • Size the system using a proper cooling load calculation
  • Compare SEER2 ratings for energy efficiency and operating cost savings
  • Verify airflow (CFM) compatibility with your duct system
  • Confirm electrical requirements and voltage compatibility
  • Choose rooftop or ground installation based on property layout
  • Consider noise levels and accessibility for maintenance
  • Ensure compatibility with optional electric heating components if needed
  • Check local climate conditions and cooling demand requirements

Package Units vs Split Systems

  • Package units: All cooling components are housed in one outdoor cabinet
  • Split systems: Indoor and outdoor HVAC components are separated
  • Package systems: Save indoor space and simplify installation
  • Split systems: Often provide more flexible indoor equipment configurations
