Packaged Systems

Maximize Living Space.

Split systems separate heating and cooling components inside and outside the house. Either with a furnace and coil (inside) and air conditioner (outside). Or, an air handler (inside) and heat pump (outside). Packaged systems, however, perform both heating and cooling functions in a "single outside package" freeing up maximum living space inside. Depending on structural limitations and available space, packaged systems can be installed on the roof, in an attic, or at ground level on a slab.

 

The choice in a packaged unit will either be a heat pump, an air conditioner, or a combination furnace and air conditioner called a gas/electric packaged unit. Or "gas pack" for short. Typically, in milder climates, heat pumps will suffice to perform double duty. Even if temperatures are near freezing, they can extract heat from outside air, then transfer it inside to become a highly energy-efficient heat source. Similarly, by reversing the flow of refrigerant with a switchover valve, a heat pump can also extract heat from the inside, then transfer it outside to cool the house.

 

Annual operating costs based on 36,000 Btu unit, 1500 cooling load hours, and .08/kwh. Actual costs may vary depending on climate conditions, energy rates and patterns of usage.
