Packaged HVAC Systems Provide Comfort While Saving You Space
The first thing homeowner need to think about when replacing their HVAC units is what kind of system they want to buy. Many choose to stick with the same systems they already have, but qualified installation specialists recommend considering all options. Purchasing a new HVAC system is a hefty financial investment that you’ll live with for many years. Homeowners who live in smaller homes with limited space find that packaged HVAC systems deliver outstanding results. Keep reading to learn more about packaged systems and decide if this HVAC unit would work for your Springfield, VA home.
What Is a Packaged HVAC System?
Most people are familiar with HVAC split systems. These systems include an indoor cabinet and an outdoor cabinet. The indoor cabinet contains the evaporator coil and an air handler, which delivers cool air throughout the house using a duct system. The outdoor cabinet houses the condenser and compressor. Although split systems are common, they’re not right for every home.
Packaged HVAC systems are ideal for homes without a basement or crawl space because one metal cabinet contains everything the system needs to operate. The system is installed outside on a concrete slab, or in some cases, in the home’s attic.
The Benefits of Installing Packaged HVAC Systems
Homeowners who have packaged systems installed enjoy several benefits, including the following:
- Quick and easy installation: Homeowners interested in lower installation costs find that package systems are often cheaper to install because they’re shipped pre-assembled and require fewer labor hours.
- Highly efficient: The packaged HVAC system’s streamlined design means the unit doesn’t have to work as hard as split system units and achieves a higher SEER rating.
- Quiet operation: Packaged systems installed outside of the home produce less noise, which is great for homeowners who want to reduce noise levels in their houses.
