Air Conditioning: Package Equipment

Packaged heating and air conditioning systems contain the same components you find in a typical split system—the evaporator, condenser, compressor and more—packaged together in one space-saving unit. Packaged units are typically installed on the roof but sometimes can also be installed at ground level next to the structure.

How Packaged Equiment Works

Packaged systems have been carefully engineered to give you all of your heating and cooling equipment in a single cabinet. Package units are either gas/electric or heat pump. Supply and return ducts connect to them. The air in the structure is removed, heated or cooled and then delivered back to the structure. The gas efficiency is never more than 80%. Unit efficiencies are typically less than split system efficiencies. System efficiencies are lower due to the fact that the air must be removed from the structure for conditioning.
