Packaged Unit Installation
Packaged Units

Construction techniques in some parts of the country use a single-cabinet heating and air conditioning system rather than a split system, which has both an outdoor and an indoor unit. Typically, packaged units are installed outdoors at ground level, a crawl space, or they may be installed on the roof for horizontal or downflow designs. Available in the same configurations, and utilizing the same components as split systems, packaged units also offer a variety of efficiency options. Unlike split systems, in a packaged system, all components are in one cabinet.
Packaged Air Conditioner

In parts of the country, a packaged air conditioner is the perfect solution. Higher-efficiency units are also available with the Comfort-R™ airflow system, offering better humidity control.
Packaged Heat Pump

With heating, air conditioning and air-handling functions in one unit, a packaged heat pump can take care of all your home comfort needs. Trane's XL1600 high-efficiency packaged heat pump comes equipped with two-stage heating and air conditioning for maximum comfort and efficiency.
Packaged Dual Fuel

A packaged dual fuel unit has what you might call a split personality. As a heat pump, it cools and dehumidifies your house in the summer. During the spring and fall, the heat pump provides high-efficiency heating. Then, when the temperature dips well below freezing, it can provide gas heat for greater comfort. If you live where natural gas is not available, you can use propane gas as fuel.
Packaged Gas Electric

A packaged gas electric unit offers you electric air conditioning and gas heating. In warm weather, it's an all-electric high-efficiency air conditioner. In cold weather it provides warmth from natural gas or propane, giving you the best of both energy worlds. Trane's XL1600 high efficiency gas electric packaged unit also comes equipped with two-stage heating and air conditioning for more efficient energy use.
