If you are looking for simplicity when it comes to your heating and air conditioning system, a HVAC package unit might be just what you need. HVAC package units, also known as combination heating and air conditioning units, are composed of an air conditioning system and a heating system that are combined all in one unit.
Let’s get into some of the benefits of HVAC package units for Jackson residents.
As stated earlier, a combination heating and air conditioning unit is as simple as you can get when it comes to your HVAC system. The cooling system and the heating system are all in one place so accessibility is very simple. In comparison, a typical split system will usually have the AC unit outside and the furnace located inside. So the two systems would be located in different areas. Package units have both systems in one location which will save you space and money.
Another benefit is that the noise level caused by the unit itself isn’t as loud within the home or business with a packaged unit. This is because all of the components are located outside. And to those who would prefer that the service technicians who work on their heating and air unit do their work outside and not inside, a package unit provides this reality as well.
These package units are especially valuable if there isn’t enough space inside the home or business for the heating component (gas furnace, etc.). Normally, an HVAC package unit will be installed next to the home or business on a concrete slab or on the roof. This can be considered a benefit to some, and a drawback for others. It really depends on your situation and personal taste.

This HVAC package unit is great for climates that do not regularly drop below freezing. These systems include a heat pump and an air handler all in one unit. Heating and cooling are provided all electrically. These systems are like an AC unit with heat built in. These package units are common throughout the country, but they are not recommended in extreme cold climates.
A dual fuel package unit contains both a heat pump and a furnace. With this hybrid HVAC system the heat pump will supply the air conditioning and the heating, until the temperature gets too low. If the temperature drops below 20-25 degrees, then the furnace will kick on and provide the heating. This is meant to provide an ultra efficient heating system. This system can be used in any climate, but is recommended for colder climates that regularly drop below 20 degrees.
