Frequently Asked Questions

A package unit contains all heating and cooling components in a single outdoor cabinet. Unlike split systems with indoor and outdoor units, everything is self-contained. This saves indoor space and simplifies installation for many Chattanooga properties.

Most residential package unit installations complete in 4-6 hours. Factors include old system removal, pad preparation, ductwork modifications, and commissioning. Commercial installations may take longer depending on complexity and access requirements.

Yes! Package units work excellently in Chattanooga's climate. Gas/electric models provide efficient cooling in summer and reliable gas heat for winter. Heat pump packages also perform well given our relatively mild winters.

Proper sizing requires professional load calculations considering your building's size, insulation, windows, and usage patterns. Generally, residential units range from 2-5 tons. We perform detailed calculations to ensure perfect sizing.

Installation costs vary based on unit size, type (heat pump vs. gas/electric), installation complexity, and necessary modifications. Package units often cost less to install than split systems due to simplified installation requirements.

Package units install outdoors at ground level on a concrete pad or on commercial rooftops. Residential installations typically place units beside the home, similar to standard AC condensers but requiring adequate space for ductwork connections.

Modern package units operate quietly, with all mechanical components located outside. This actually makes them quieter inside than split systems since there's no indoor blower unit. Proper installation further minimizes any sound concerns.

Package units work best for single-story homes, though they can serve multi-story buildings with proper ductwork design. Homes need adequate outdoor space and accessible ductwork routing. We'll assess your property's suitability during consultation.

Package units require bi-annual maintenance - spring and fall. Being fully exposed to weather, they need regular coil cleaning, cabinet inspection, and component checks. Professional maintenance ensures longevity and efficiency in Chattanooga's climate.

With proper maintenance, expect 15-20 years from quality package units in Chattanooga. Their robust construction handles weather exposure well. Regular maintenance significantly extends lifespan while maintaining efficiency.

Many high-efficiency package units qualify for utility rebates and tax credits when available. We help identify current incentives and provide documentation needed for claims. Energy-efficient models offer the best rebate opportunities.

Usually yes, though modifications may improve performance. We evaluate existing ductwork for proper sizing, condition, and compatibility. Simple transition connections often allow package units to utilize existing duct systems effectively.

New package units typically include 10-year parts warranties and 10-year compressor coverage when registered. We provide a 1-year labor warranty on installation. Extended warranties offer additional protection for your investment.

Modern package units achieve excellent efficiency ratings - up to 16 SEER for cooling and 81% AFUE for gas heating. Matched components and factory optimization often make them more efficient than pieced-together split systems.

Yes! We install and service commercial package units (rooftop units) for small businesses throughout Chattanooga. Our expertise includes proper sizing, structural considerations, and code compliance for commercial applications.
