Know the Signs
Signs It’s Time for a New Package Unit
Unit Is 15–25 Years Old
An aging package unit is burning extra energy, cycling noisily, and approaching the end of its reliable life. Modern high-efficiency systems deliver superior comfort and lower bills.
Loud, Rattling Operation
Worn fan bearings, compressor rattle, or loose shroud panels amplify noise. New units with vibration isolation and sound-damping materials run significantly quieter.
Cold Bedrooms or Hot Zones
Uneven temperature and comfort complaints often trace to an undersized or oversized unit, or leaky, poorly sized ductwork. A right-sized system fixes the root cause.
Constant Cycling or Never Shutting Off
Oversized units cycle wastefully; undersized units run constantly. If your equipment can’t keep up or won’t rest, a load-calculated replacement is the answer.
Climbing Energy Bills
An older, low-efficiency package unit uses far more energy than modern high-SEER models. Upgrading often produces monthly savings that offset a financing payment.
Limited Indoor Space
If you lack room for a separate furnace and condenser, a package unit contains everything in one outdoor unit — ideal for homes with tight attics or no basement.

Our Package Unit Installation Process
In-Home Load Assessment & Equipment Evaluation
We measure square footage, inspect insulation, observe existing ductwork, and ask about comfort complaints. Using this data plus local Dunn temperature extremes, we calculate your home’s heating and cooling loads to drive right-sized equipment selection.
- Home square footage, layout, and room-by-room comfort patterns
- Insulation type and condition; air leakage points
- Existing ductwork layout, size, and condition
- Electrical panel capacity, gas line availability, and mounting suitability
Equipment Selection & Efficiency Comparison
We present equipment options and compare upfront cost against 10-year utility savings so you understand the true cost of ownership. We also discuss brand options and match capabilities to your needs.
- Standard efficiency (13–14 SEER, 8 HSPF) vs. high-efficiency (16+ SEER, 9+ HSPF)
- Single-stage vs. variable-capacity systems
- Smart thermostat integration for remote control and scheduling
- Integrated humidity control and air filtration upgrades
Ductwork Design & System Integration Planning
We pressure-test existing ductwork to identify leaks and blockages, then seal any problems we find. If your home has no ducts, we design a complete system matched to your package unit’s airflow capacity.
- Return and supply ductwork routing and sizing
- Leak detection and sealing on existing ducts
- Thermostat and filter location for accuracy and access
- Condensate drainage and building code compliance
Staging, Removal & Site Preparation
On installation day, we stage equipment, remove your old system carefully — draining refrigerant into recovery equipment per EPA standards — and prepare the roof or mounting pad for the new unit.
- Safe disconnection and removal of existing equipment
- EPA-compliant refrigerant recovery from old units
- Roof or mounting pad inspection and repair if needed
- Electrical panel upgrade completed before new unit
Installation, Electrical Hookup & Refrigerant Charging
We position and secure the new unit with vibration isolation, connect all ductwork with sealed, insulated connections, run the electrical service, and charge the system precisely — measuring superheat and subcooling for an exact charge.
- Secure mounting with vibration isolation pads
- Ductwork connections sealed with mastic and fiberglass tape
- 240V electrical service with proper circuit protection
- Refrigerant charge measured electronically and optimized
System Testing, Commissioning & Operator Training
We run your new unit through multiple heating and cooling cycles, verify thermostat communication and defrost cycles, then walk you through operation and provide written documentation of equipment, warranty, and maintenance details.
- Package unit operation manual and thermostat instructions
- Heil or Navien warranty documentation and registration help
- Filter size, replacement schedule, and maintenance timeline
- Enrollment information for our maintenance plans

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions About Package Unit Installation
Package units save space — everything is contained in one outdoor unit on your roof or pad rather than needing a separate furnace indoors and condenser outside. They’re especially valuable in homes with limited indoor space. Installation is often simpler because there’s one outdoor unit. The tradeoff is that rooftop units are more exposed to weather and noise travels more directly into the home.
A typical replacement installation takes 8–12 hours depending on ductwork condition and electrical complexity. If your home needs new ductwork or electrical upgrades, the project may span two days. We schedule installations with built-in time so we’re not rushing; most customers enjoy comfort as soon as the installation is complete.
Likely, yes. Older units often have worn fan bearings, compressor rattle, or loose shroud panels that amplify noise. New units with vibration isolation, modern compressor designs, and sound-damping materials are significantly quieter. A high-efficiency variable-capacity unit runs even more quietly because it rarely operates at full blast.
Not required, but recommended. A 20-year-old mechanical thermostat won’t unlock advanced features like modulating output, smart scheduling, or remote temperature control. A programmable or Wi-Fi smart thermostat lets your new unit run at peak efficiency and gives you comfort control from anywhere. We discuss options during the consultation.
We can design and install a complete ducted system to match your package unit’s capacity. This is a larger project than simple replacement, but it transforms heating and cooling from zone-based or radiant into balanced, whole-home comfort. We’ll walk you through feasibility, layout options, and cost during your consultation.
Installation is dusty and noisy — we contain the work area with drop cloths and minimize intrusion into living spaces. Most of the work happens outdoors on your roof or pad. You’ll be without heating and cooling for a few hours during the changeover, so we schedule work during mild seasons when possible. We typically complete replacements in a single day.
Yes. We partner with Optimus to offer flexible financing that lets you spread the cost over time, often with no money down and promotional rates. Many customers find the monthly financing payment is less than the utility savings from upgrading to a high-efficiency new unit. Learn more about financing options.
Yes. We specialize in package unit installation for mobile and modular homes, understanding their unique roof design, weight distribution, and venting requirements. Call us to discuss your home type and we’ll provide specific guidance on options and feasibility.
Heil and Navien units typically include 10-year compressor warranties, 5-year parts warranties, and 1-year labor warranties when installed by a certified contractor. Those warranties are valid only if the unit is professionally installed and receives annual maintenance documentation. Our maintenance plans ensure you stay covered for the full warranty period.
We recommend annual maintenance visits — once in fall before heating season and once in spring before cooling season. Maintenance keeps your warranty valid, catches small issues before they become expensive repairs, and keeps equipment running at peak efficiency. Our maintenance plans lock in discounted rates for ongoing care.
