Packaged Units

The most common type of air conditioning system seen in homes throughout Lawrenceville, GA and beyond is the central air conditioner, also known as a split system. It’s been given this name due to its setup—it consists of two units, one housed inside and the other outside. The indoor unit absorbs heat and blows cooled air into your air ducts while the outdoor unit houses the compressor that circulates refrigerant, and it exhausts the heat from the inside.

Many commercial buildings—and today even many residences—use a different type of HVAC unit, and that’s the packaged HVAC unit. This system combines each of the components all into a single cabinet.

How Are Packaged HVAC Units Designed?

Packaged AC and heating units are similar to standard air conditioners and heat pump systems. A compressor circulates refrigerant between a set of coils. One of these coils absorbs heat while the other releases it, and a component called the air handler releases the conditioned air into the ductwork.

What makes the packaged unit different is that it houses all these components in one place—the outdoor cabinet. This all connects to your property’s ventilation system, with return and supply ducts.

The Benefits of Packaged HVAC Systems

As we mentioned above, the type of HVAC systems that most homeowners throughout Lawrenceville, GA are familiar with are the split systems such as a central air conditioner, heat pump, or furnace. There are a number of benefits of going with a packaged heating or AC unit, though.

• Packaged HVAC Installations save Space: This is perhaps the biggest benefit to investing in a packaged system. Whether it’s for a small home or a business that needs to save as much area as possible for its operations, packaged units are perfect for properties with limited space.
• Packaged Systems Reduce Noise Pollution: Since the air handler is located outdoors instead of inside your property, a packaged HVAC system produces very little indoor noise when compared to more traditional HVAC units.
• Easy to Maintain and Service: This is particularly advantageous in the business environment. Who wants an HVAC technician doing work in the middle of business hours inside their property? This inconvenience can be completely eliminated by choosing a packaged HVAC unit.

Do You Need Packaged HVAC Repair?

Again, one of the biggest benefits to utilizing a packaged AC and packaged heating unit is the fact that they are easy to maintain, and repair. Since packaged units are most often installed on the rooftop, particularly for commercial spaces, our experienced technicians can easily stay out of the way when conducting repairs on the system.
