Have you ever heard of packaged units? If not, you’re not the only one. Which is why our professionals want to give you a little context on what they are, and why they might be something for you to consider.

One of the best perks of a packaged unit is that it’s an all-in-one heating and cooling system that can be installed outside of the home. What does that mean? You don’t need to be concerned about taking up space inside your home for the furnace or air handler.

When would you use a packaged unit?

Because the unit installs outside, it’s a optimal choice for homeowners who do not have a basement or just have a crawlspace. Typically, having the extra space in the basement allows for more storage where you can store the heating and cooling components. This eliminates that challenge if the space isn’t open or large enough.

A packaged unit is extremely compact, which means it doesn’t occupy much space outdoors either. It will effortlessly blend into your outdoor environment. And because it’s compact, installation is easier, and you’ll be able to get to indoor comfort even faster.

The units can be installed in the exterior of your home. It’s connected to the ductwork through a small, protected hole in the wall. Brace yourself for an efficient and useful solution that doesn’t take up a large amount of space.

We’re happy to come out and visit your home to assess the situation and talk about your needs for heating and cooling your home.
