Package Units

Package Unit Installation in Pensacola, FL

A package residential unit is a single, space-efficient heating and cooling system in one outdoor cabinet — ideal for homes where outdoor and indoor space is limited. Rather than maintaining separate compressor and furnace units, one package system delivers both heating and cooling through your existing ductwork. When your current system reaches the end of its life, a new package unit modernizes your home’s climate control with integrated controls, higher efficiency, and streamlined operation. Climatech of Professional Air has installed package units throughout Pensacola for 48 years.

Why Climatech

Why Climatech for Your Package Unit Installation

Factory-Authorized Dealer Status Means Genuine Expertise and Warranty Support

We’re an authorized Customer Care Dealer for American Standard and a Diamond Mitsubishi Electric Dealer. Authorized status means we’ve completed training on their equipment, access technical bulletins and engineering support, and can honor extended warranty coverage. When you buy a package unit from Climatech and have it installed by us, the manufacturer guarantees both equipment and labor — not just parts alone. That confidence and backing is something non-authorized installers cannot offer.

Precise System Sizing for Your Home’s Actual Load

An oversized or undersized package unit cycles inefficiently and costs more to operate. We calculate your home’s heating and cooling load using industry-standard Manual J protocols — measuring your home’s insulation, window area, ductwork, and local climate. We right-size the unit so it runs continuously at optimal efficiency instead of short-cycling or struggling. Proper sizing saves you 10–20% on utility costs over the system’s life.

Integrated Installation: One Unit, Simplified Operation

A package unit replaces both your heating and cooling in a single outdoor cabinet and integrates with your existing ductwork. This means simpler controls (one thermostat for heating and cooling), one maintenance schedule, and cleaner equipment layout on your roof or concrete pad. If your current system has separate AC and furnace units, consolidating to a package unit frees up space indoors and reduces maintenance complexity.

Complete EPA-Regulated Ductwork and Refrigerant Work

Proper installation includes sealing and insulating existing ductwork, testing for leaks, recovering old refrigerant according to EPA rules, evacuating the new system, and recharging with the correct refrigerant type and quantity. We handle every regulated detail. DIY or unlicensed installation voids your warranty and creates efficiency and safety risks. Our installation work is guaranteed and fully compliant.

Financing Removes the Budget Barrier

New package units are a significant investment, but they often save money through reduced utility bills and fewer repair calls over their lifetime. We work with Synchrony and Wells Fargo to offer flexible financing so you can spread payments over time. Financing is available for qualified buyers, and many customers find the monthly payment is less than their current energy and repair costs combined.

Our Process

How Our Package Unit Installation Process Works

Step 1: Home Assessment and Load Calculation

We schedule a consultation at your home. Our technician measures room dimensions, checks insulation levels, counts windows and doors, reviews your current utility bills, and assesses your home’s age and condition. We use this data to calculate your heating and cooling load using Manual J — the industry standard for HVAC sizing. This calculation determines the correct package unit capacity (typically 3–5 tons for residential). A proper load calculation ensures your new unit operates efficiently and maintains comfortable temperature year-round.

What happens: We spend 30–45 minutes assessing your home and taking measurements. We ask about your comfort concerns and equipment preferences (brand, efficiency tier). We calculate your load and recommend appropriately sized systems.

Step 2: Equipment Selection and Options Presentation

We present package unit options from American Standard and Mitsubishi Electric at different efficiency levels and price points. Tier 1 (basic) systems offer solid performance at lower cost. Tier 2 (mid-range) adds efficiency and quieter operation. Tier 3 (high-efficiency) minimizes utility bills over the system’s 15–20 year life. We explain the trade-off: higher initial cost vs. lower operating costs. We also explain the advantages of dealer-installed equipment: factory warranty, extended coverage, and technical support.

What happens: You review options and choose an efficiency tier and brand. We explain warranty coverage and the rebate incentives available.

Step 3: Financing and Contract Agreement

We discuss financing options through Synchrony and Wells Fargo, if you’re interested. Pre-approval is quick, and terms are flexible. We present a contract detailing the equipment model, capacity, installation scope, ductwork modifications, the financing terms if applicable, and the installation timeline. You review, ask questions, and approve. Signing the contract locks in your pricing and schedule.

What happens: We review financing options and terms. You sign the contract and we schedule your installation date — typically within 1–2 weeks for package units.

Step 4: Disconnection of Old System and Site Preparation

On installation day, our crew arrives with the new equipment and tools. We drain and recover refrigerant from your old system according to EPA regulations — refrigerant is valuable and must not be released. We disconnect electrical lines, ductwork, and fasteners. We remove the old unit. We inspect the pad or roof where the new unit will sit, ensure it’s level and structurally sound, and prepare for the new installation. This prep work typically takes 2–3 hours.

What happens: We carefully disconnect and remove your old system. The site is cleaned and prepared for the new unit. You can ask us questions about what we’re doing.

Step 5: New Package Unit Installation and Ductwork Integration

We position the new package unit on the pad or roof and bolt it securely. We connect refrigerant lines from the unit to your indoor ductwork termination, using proper EPA evacuation and charging procedures. We connect electrical lines — 120/240V power and low-voltage control wires from your thermostat. We test all connections for integrity. We inspect existing ductwork for leaks and seal problem areas with mastic and metal tape. We measure airflow and verify balanced heating and cooling across all vents.

What happens: We install the new unit, connect refrigerant lines, electrical service, and ductwork. We test everything multiple times to ensure proper operation.

Step 6: System Testing, Calibration, and Handoff

We run the new system through full heating and cooling cycles. We verify that the thermostat controls both functions properly, that temperature rises to setpoint in heating mode, and that cooling delivers the right cold air in summer. We measure refrigerant pressures and electrical amperage to ensure everything is in spec. We check airflow balance across all rooms. We walk you through thermostat operation, explain filter replacement schedules, and provide warranty documentation. We leave you with a service contract and our number for future maintenance.

What happens: You see the new system running in both heating and cooling modes. We verify your comfort and answer all your questions. You receive full documentation and our contact information.

Frequent Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Package Unit Installation

Package unit installation typically includes equipment, labor, ductwork modifications, EPA-compliant refrigerant work, and testing. Cost depends on the efficiency tier, unit capacity, and how much ductwork sealing is needed. We provide a detailed written quote after calculating your home’s load. Financing is available through Synchrony and Wells Fargo to spread costs over time.

A typical installation takes one to two days. Disconnection and removal of the old system takes a few hours. New unit installation, ductwork work, and testing takes the remainder of the first day or into a second day if ductwork modifications are extensive. We’ll provide a timeline estimate when you sign the contract.

A split system has the cooling compressor outside and the heating furnace inside — two separate units with two different control systems. A package unit combines both in one outdoor cabinet, uses one thermostat, and operates through shared ductwork. Package units are more space-efficient and use a reversing valve to switch between heating and cooling modes. Split systems are more common in newer homes; package units are popular where outdoor space is limited.

Yes. If your home has a split AC unit and a separate furnace, we can remove both and install a package unit that does the job of both systems. Your existing ductwork can often be reused with minimal modifications. We assess your ductwork during the consultation to determine what changes are needed.

Modern package units have SEER2 ratings of 14–20 for cooling (higher is more efficient) and HSPF2 ratings of 8–10+ for heating. Higher efficiency costs more upfront but saves 20–40% on utility bills over the unit’s lifetime. A mid-range efficiency unit often offers the best balance of cost and savings. Our quote will show the efficiency rating and estimated annual operating costs for each option.

Manufacturer warranty typically includes 10 years on the compressor and 5 years on parts. Our factory-dealer status often extends coverage — American Standard and Mitsubishi offer extended warranties for dealer-installed equipment. We’ll explain exact coverage when you select your unit. Labor warranty is typically one year — if an installation defect causes a failure within one year, we repair it at no charge.

Package units require the same regular maintenance as split systems: filter changes monthly, twice-yearly tune-ups (before cooling and heating seasons), coil cleaning, and condensate drain maintenance. The difference is that a single unit handles both heating and cooling, so one maintenance visit covers both functions. Join our maintenance plan for automatic twice-yearly service and priority dispatch.

You can upgrade just the package unit if your ductwork is in good condition. If your ductwork is leaky, damaged, or has collapsed sections, we recommend repairs or replacement as part of the installation — otherwise the new unit won’t perform efficiently. We assess ductwork during the consultation and advise on what needs replacement.

Package units work well for homes where space is limited — rooftop or concrete-pad installation is preferred over indoor ductwork routing for split systems. They’re especially popular for older homes, mobile homes, and commercial properties. During the consultation, we assess your home’s conditions and layout and recommend the best option — package unit, split system, or heat pump — for your situation.

We work with Synchrony and Wells Fargo to offer flexible financing for qualified buyers. Financing is available for 36–120 month terms with competitive rates. Pre-approval is quick (usually same day), and financing can be combined with equipment rebates and utility company incentives. We’ll explain all options and answer questions about terms and payments.
