What you need to know about packaged units

July 06, 2018

Often times, people don’t recognize all of the heating and cooling choices that are accessible to them. But Knoechel Heating Company is here to remind you to think about each option and determine 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 constrained on the amount of space inside your home. Especially, if you have a crawlspace instead of a basement. With a basement, you usually have extra storage space that can easily store components of your heating and cooling system. But if you take that away, it can be difficult to find an perfect location and you likely want to use that space for an alternative purpose.

The units are very compact, which leaves a small footprint and makes installation that much efficient and easier. They can be installed inside the exterior of your home or on the roof and connects to the ductwork through a small opening in the wall. It’s an efficient and helpful option that doesn’t occupy too much space.

Our experts can inform you about the assorted 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 content throughout the year, regardless what Mother Nature throws at you in Zelienople.
