What is an AC Package Unit?

Each season of the year has its extreme weather conditions. There can be days of excruciating heat in the summer and days of bitter cold in the winter. Being prepared is half the battle when it comes to dealing with these temperatures. That means having the right unit to provide heat in the winter and cooling in the summer.

The last thing you want when you purchase a heating and AC unit is something that ends up costing more than you expected to operate. You want to save energy and lower your utility bills and you want a machine that can operate efficiently and requires little maintenance.

This is why one of the best purchases you can make is for a 5 ton AC package unit, a machine that can serve as an all-in-one solution for your heating and cooling needs. You may have heard about package units before but not quite know what they are. Today, we will explain package units and the different types of package units so you can make the right choice for you and keep your home comfortable with a year-round solution.

A package unit is a solution for all of your heating and cooling needs in one system. One of the reasons that people look to an all-in-one solution like a package unit is because of the amount of space they have within their home. A 5 ton AC package unit would sit outside of the home on the roof or at the side of a building and contain all of the parts for heating and air conditioning. You will most commonly find package units in the Southeastern part of the country or in homes that don’t have a crawlspace or basement for storing the elements needed for heating and cooling.

There are different types of package units that are available depending on what benefits you are looking for and the area you live:

Package Air Conditioner - This unit contains an air conditioner and air handler. This is the unit you will choose if you want to use an all-electric solution.

Package Gas/Electric System - If you want to have the option of gas heating power with the use of a gas furnace, this is the option for you. This combines an air conditioner, coil and gas furnace.

Package Heat Pumps - This is a combination of a heat pump and air handler in a package unit. This is good for an area that rarely sees temperatures blow freezing and wants an all-electric solution.

Dual-Fuel System - If you want the benefits that come with having a heat pump and live in an area where temperatures drop below 25 degrees frequently, this is the choice for you. A dual-fuel system turns on a gas furnace when temperature drop below a certain point. This can be an energy efficient system because the furnace turns on only as needed, so you actually use less gas and can possibly save money on your energy bills.
