What you need to know about packaged units

July 06, 2018

Frequently, people don’t realize all of the heating and cooling opportunities that are accessible to them. But Western Mechanical, Inc. is here to remind you to consider each option and determine which type of system will best meet your needs.

One of those choices is a packaged unit. What exactly is that? It’s an all-in-one heating and cooling system installed outside, which means you don’t need to waste indoor space accommodating a furnace or air handler.

When would you use a packaged unit?

Packaged units are perfect if you are constrained on the amount of space inside your home. Particularly, if you have a crawlspace instead of a basement. With a basement, you usually have extra storage space that can easily store components of your heating and cooling system. But if you exclude that, it can be difficult to find an perfect location and you likely want to use that space for an alternative purpose.

The units are very compact, which leaves a small footprint and makes installation that much faster and easier. They can be installed inside the exterior of your home or on the roof and links up to the ductwork through a small opening in the wall. It’s an efficient and helpful option that doesn’t occupy too much space.

Our professionals can chat with you about the different models, including gas and electric; electric and electric; heat pump; and dual-fuel options. You’ll be able to determine a model that will keep you at ease throughout the year, no matter what Mother Nature throws at you in Logan.
