What you need to know about packaged units

July 06, 2018

Often times, people don’t realize all of the heating and cooling options that are offered to them. But McFadden Heating & Cooling is here to remind you to take into account each option and establish which type of system will best meet your needs.

One of those possibilities 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 housing a furnace or air handler.

When would you use a packaged unit?

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

The units are very compact, which leaves a minor footprint and makes installation that much faster and easier. They can be installed inside the exterior of your home or on the roof and hooks up to the ductwork through a small opening in the wall. It’s an efficient and effective option that doesn’t take up 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 choice a model that will keep you at ease throughout the year, regardless what Mother Nature throws at you in Dresden.
