Explore all-in-one heating and cooling solutions for homes and businesses. Compare packaged heat pumps,
gas/electric gas packs and other package-unit configurations with professional sizing and installation from Advanced Service Company LLC.
Package units combine major comfort-system components into a single outdoor cabinet. The right configuration depends on the building,
available utilities,
climate,
ductwork and comfort goals.
Packaged Heat Pumps
All-electric systems that provide both heating and cooling through heat-pump operation.
Combine gas heating and electric air conditioning in a single outdoor package for qualifying applications.
Packaged Air Conditioners
Packaged cooling configurations may be paired with an appropriate heating method depending on equipment design.
Commercial Package Units
Packaged equipment can provide practical heating and cooling for many light-commercial and commercial applications.
Proper Sizing Matters With Packaged HVAC Equipment
A package unit should not be selected by replacing the old model with the same nominal capacity without evaluating the building. Proper system selection considers heating and cooling loads,
airflow,
ductwork,
design temperatures,
building characteristics and manufacturer application data.
A correctly selected and installed package unit can provide a compact,
serviceable approach to whole-building comfort.
All-in-One Design
Major heating and cooling components are housed together in an outdoor cabinet.
Indoor Space Savings
Package equipment can reduce the need for a traditional indoor furnace or air-handler cabinet.
Replacement Flexibility
Package units can be a practical replacement where the building was originally designed around packaged equipment.
Heating Choices
Choose from heat-pump or qualifying gas/electric configurations based on utilities and application.
Modern Efficiency
Current equipment offers updated efficiency and comfort options compared with many older systems.
Residential Applications
Suitable for qualifying homes designed around packaged heating and cooling equipment.
Commercial Applications
Packaged equipment is widely applicable to qualifying light-commercial comfort projects.
Service Access
Outdoor component placement can provide centralized access when installed with proper service clearances.
Efficiency Ratings &
Modern Refrigerants
Depending on system type,
packaged equipment may be rated using SEER2 and EER2 for cooling,
HSPF2 for heat-pump heating,
and AFUE for applicable gas-heating sections. Compare certified ratings for the actual equipment configuration rather than relying on a general product-family claim.
Newer packaged HVAC equipment may use lower-GWP A2L refrigerants such as R-32 or R-454B. Refrigerant varies by manufacturer and model and must be handled according to applicable equipment,
safety and installation requirements.
Correct installation affects comfort,
efficiency,
reliability and serviceability. We evaluate the complete application rather than focusing only on the equipment cabinet.
Equipment Sizing
Select capacity using the building's actual heating and cooling requirements.
Duct Connections
Evaluate supply and return ductwork, transitions, sealing and airflow requirements.
Pad or Curb
Verify appropriate equipment support for ground or qualifying rooftop installations.
Electrical
Review circuits, disconnects, overcurrent protection and equipment requirements.
Gas Requirements
For gas packs, verify applicable fuel supply, venting and combustion requirements.
Condensate
Provide appropriate drainage according to equipment and installation conditions.
Clearances
Maintain manufacturer-required airflow, combustion and service access clearances.
Startup & Testing
Verify system operation after installation using applicable manufacturer procedures.
Package Unit Repair or Replacement?
If your existing packaged system has stopped heating or cooling,
our technicians can diagnose the problem and explain repair and replacement options. Major failures,
repeated repairs,
equipment age and efficiency can all affect the decision.

Packaged HVAC System FAQs
Click a question to view the answer.
A packaged HVAC system combines major heating and cooling components in one outdoor cabinet rather than using separate indoor and outdoor equipment.
Common configurations include packaged heat pumps,
gas/electric gas packs and packaged air-conditioning systems. Available configurations vary by manufacturer and application.
A packaged heat pump provides electric heating and cooling from a single outdoor cabinet using heat-pump technology.
A gas pack generally combines gas heating with electric air conditioning in one outdoor packaged unit.
Packaged systems can be a practical choice for homes designed for this equipment type,
especially where indoor mechanical space is limited or an existing package unit is being replaced.
Yes. Packaged equipment is commonly used in light-commercial and other qualifying commercial applications,
depending on building design and equipment requirements.
Many packaged systems support ground-level installation when installed on an approved pad or support and in accordance with manufacturer instructions and applicable codes.
Some packaged equipment is designed or approved for rooftop applications with appropriate curbs,
structural support,
duct connections,
service access and code compliance.
Equipment should be selected using the heating and cooling requirements of the building,
design conditions,
airflow,
ductwork and manufacturer application data rather than square footage alone.
Yes. Advanced Service Company LLC offers professional load-calculation services for qualifying residential and commercial projects.
Depending on equipment type,
ratings may include SEER2,
EER2,
HSPF2 and AFUE. Compare the certified rating for the complete equipment model and application.
Refrigerant varies by model and manufacturer. Newer equipment may use lower-GWP A2L refrigerants such as R-32 or R-454B.
Often yes,
but the replacement should be evaluated for capacity,
ductwork,
electrical or gas requirements,
curb or pad configuration,
clearances and other installation conditions.
Yes. Proper airflow and duct design are important for comfort,
efficiency,
humidity control and equipment performance.
Yes. Advanced Service Company LLC installs qualifying packaged HVAC systems for residential and commercial customers throughout North Alabama.
Yes. We diagnose and repair package units,
packaged heat pumps,
gas packs and other qualifying HVAC systems.
Yes. FREE estimates are available for qualifying new packaged HVAC systems and system replacements.
Financing options may be available to approved customers on qualifying HVAC installation projects.
