What Is a Goodman Heat Pump Package Unit and What Value Does It Offer?

For nearly 40 years, Goodman Air Conditioning & Heating has been a preeminent name in the HVAC industry. ISO 9001 and 14001 Certified and committed to continuous, strategic reinvestment in the technology and human resources that have made them what they are, Goodman is a name you can trust - and countless homeowners around the country do.

You’re in good hands with Goodman, but you still need to choose wisely when it comes to heating and cooling your home and business. With all of the options out there, why would you want to choose a Goodman heat pump package unit?

Well, that depends more on what a heat pump package unit is than that Goodman itself offers, but let’s take a look at both.

What Is a Heat Pump Package Unit?
A heat pump package unit is a system that contains all of a heat pump’s integral components in one system, typically all inside one cabinet. In contrast to heat pump split systems, wherein part of the unit is installed inside and part outside, a heat pump package unit is always installed outside.

Because everything comes in one package (hence package unit), there’s usually more flexibility involved with the installation. You also won’t need to clear any space inside your house to make way for a split system. Additionally, if your home has the pre-existing ductwork required to install one of these systems, they make a great choice for heating and cooling, as long as they are large and powerful enough to heat and cool your home.

Why Heat Pump Package Units Are Popular
Now let’s consider the finer points of heat pumps and why they have become so popular in recent years.

A gas furnace can only heat your home, by combusting liquid propane or natural gas. An electric air conditioning system can only cool your home, although small devices known as electric heat strips can be added to them to provide a little bit of supplemental heat in the winter.

Heat pumps, including both heat pump package units and heat pump split systems, can do both.

Heat pumps are able to fill the roles of both furnaces and air conditioners, able to provide both cooling and heating for your home. There are heat pumps that draw energy from the air and those that draw energy from the ground, but the principle of operation is the same.

They gather heat from an environment before distributing it. In the summer, the system gathers heat from your home or business and vents it to the outside. In the winter, the system gathers heat from the air or ground outside, consolidates it, and uses it to heat the space inside of your house or business.

Because of the manner in which they operate, there are a lot of benefits to investing in a package heat pump unit. In general, heat pumps:

●Are energy-efficient: Because heat pumps are generally very energy efficient, they can slash both heating and cooling costs for some homeowners, saving money on utility bills.

●Have very long serviceable lifespans: Depending on the level of service you provide them, they can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years, as long as most furnaces!

●Are “greener” than other HVAC systems: They cut carbon emissions, and as such as better for the environment, releasing fewer greenhouse gases.

●Require less maintenance: It’s still advisable to service your system at least once per calendar year, but generally, they require less maintenance than alternatives.

●Provide for both heating and cooling: What more can we say? Get the best of both worlds from one single system!

Alternatives for Exceptionally Hot and Cold Locations
In case you were wondering, a Goodman heat pump package unit is not your only option for heating and cooling your home. You may also choose one of the following package systems, which offers the same fundamental benefit of being “all-in-one.”

●Electric Package Units
Electric package units consist of an electric air conditioner and are most suitable for extremely hot climates that rarely see colder temperatures. They can be equipped with electric heat strips to provide a nomimal amount of heat in cooler temperatures, but not to the same degree as a heat pump.

●Gas-Electric Package Units (Gas Packs)
Gas electric package units contain a gas furnace and an electric air conditioner bundled into one system and are most suitable in areas that have both hot summers and cold winters.

●Dual-Fuel Package Units
Dual fuel package units typically consist of a heat pump bundled with a gas furnace. This enables you to use electricity to heat and cool your home, except in instances of very cold temperatures, in which case the system may up to switch the furnace on for additional heating power.
