Understanding Package Units

Why Package Units Are Different to Service

Everything is in one cabinet, which changes the repair approach.

All Components Live in a Single Outdoor Cabinet

Unlike split systems with separate indoor and outdoor units, a package unit houses the compressor, coils, and blower all in one outdoor cabinet — common on Houston slab homes and many commercial properties.

This design means indoor ductwork connects directly to a single outdoor unit, often on a slab or rooftop.
Package units are common in Houston homes without attic space for a traditional air handler.
Both gas/electric and all-electric package unit configurations are common in the Houston area.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a package unit and split system?

A package unit combines all components in one outdoor cabinet; a split system has separate indoor and outdoor units.

Why do some Houston homes have package units instead of split systems?

Homes without attic space, often slab-on-grade construction, commonly use package units instead.

Can package units be repaired the same as split systems?

Yes, though all components are accessed from one location rather than separate indoor and outdoor visits.

Do package units cost more to repair?

Repair costs are generally similar to split systems, based on which specific component has failed.

How long do package units typically last?

Similar to split systems, 10-15 years with proper maintenance, though full outdoor exposure can affect this.
