Packaged units need careful placement and integration. We understand space constraints and work around them effectively.
Whether you have a mobile home, tight lot, or limited indoor space, we know how to position and connect packaged systems for optimal performance and accessibility for future service.
One unit handles heating, cooling, and airflow. We size and install correctly so the system performs in both modes.
Packaged systems are more complex than they appear. Proper refrigerant charging, electrical connections, and ductwork integration are critical for reliable heating and cooling performance year-round.
Common in mobile and modular homes, packaged units have unique structural requirements. We understand these specifics.
Mobile homes require special attention to structural support, underpinning clearance, and ductwork routing. We have extensive experience with these installations and know the building codes that apply.
Proper electrical sizing, correct refrigerant work, thorough testing ensures reliable performance.
Every installation includes electrical verification, refrigerant evacuation and charging, leak testing, and complete system startup. We test both heating and cooling modes before we leave.
Spread costs with flexible financing options to fit your budget.
We work with Wells Fargo to offer flexible financing options with competitive rates. Get the comfort you need now and pay over time.
Tap a factor to see why it matters for your installation success.
Packaged systems must be sized correctly for both heating and cooling loads. Too small and you won't get adequate comfort. Too large and the system short-cycles, wastes energy, and doesn't dehumidify properly.
Our approach: We perform Manual J load calculations considering your home's square footage, insulation, windows, and local climate to select the right capacity unit.
Sizing Method
Manual J Load Calc
Precise calculations ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
Location affects performance, noise levels, and service accessibility. The unit needs adequate clearance for airflow, protection from weather extremes, and easy access for maintenance.
Our approach: We evaluate your property for the best location considering airflow, noise, aesthetics, and future service needs.
Placement Priority
Performance First
Optimal location balances efficiency, noise, and accessibility.
Packaged systems require dedicated electrical circuits with proper amperage and disconnect switches. Incorrect electrical work creates safety hazards and equipment damage.
Our approach: We verify electrical capacity, install proper disconnects, and ensure all connections meet code requirements for safe operation.
Safety Standard
Code Compliant
All electrical work meets local and national electrical codes.
Proper ductwork connection ensures efficient airflow and prevents energy loss. Leaky connections waste conditioned air and reduce system performance.
Our approach: We connect supply and return ducts with proper sealing, verify airflow balance, and test for leaks to maximize efficiency.
Connection Quality
Sealed & Tested
Proper sealing prevents energy loss and ensures optimal airflow.
Proper refrigerant handling is critical for system performance and longevity. Incorrect charging reduces efficiency and can damage the compressor.
Our approach: We evacuate lines to remove moisture and air, then charge with the exact refrigerant amount specified by the manufacturer.
Certification
EPA 608 Licensed
Proper refrigerant handling by certified technicians.
Thorough testing ensures the system operates correctly in both heating and cooling modes before we leave your property.
Our approach: We test electrical connections, verify refrigerant pressures, check airflow, and run complete heating and cooling cycles.
Testing Protocol
Both Modes
