Package units offer several advantages that make them attractive options for many Reynoldsburg properties. The self-contained design simplifies installation and maintenance, as all major components are housed in a single outdoor unit. This configuration is particularly beneficial for homes with limited indoor space or structural constraints that make traditional split system installations challenging.
Most package units are installed on concrete pads at ground level or on reinforced rooftops for commercial applications. The unit connects to your home's ductwork through a single penetration in the exterior wall or roof, minimizing the complexity of the installation process. This streamlined approach often results in faster installation times compared to split systems requiring multiple indoor and outdoor component connections.
Modern package units incorporate advanced technology to deliver impressive efficiency ratings. Many models we install feature variable-speed compressors, multi-stage heating elements, and smart controls that optimize performance based on real-time conditions. These innovations help reduce energy consumption while maintaining consistent indoor temperatures throughout your Reynoldsburg property.
Every package unit installation we perform begins with a detailed assessment of your property's unique characteristics. Our certified technicians evaluate your existing ductwork, electrical systems, and structural considerations to ensure proper integration with your new package unit. We also conduct load calculations to determine the appropriate unit size, preventing the inefficiencies associated with oversized or undersized equipment.
The physical installation process starts with preparing the mounting location, whether that's pouring a concrete pad or reinforcing a rooftop installation area. We take great care to ensure proper drainage and adequate clearances around the unit for optimal airflow and future maintenance access. Our technicians use precision laser levels and measurement tools to ensure the package unit sits perfectly level and secure.
Connecting the package unit to your home's ductwork requires careful attention to air sealing and insulation. We inspect and modify existing ductwork as needed to ensure proper airflow distribution throughout your home. All duct connections are sealed using high-quality mastic sealants and backed with UL-listed tape to prevent energy-wasting air leaks.
Today's package units offer impressive energy efficiency ratings that can significantly reduce your utility bills compared to older systems. We install ENERGY STAR certified models that meet or exceed federal efficiency standards, helping you qualify for available utility rebates and tax incentives.
Variable-speed technology in modern package units allows the system to adjust output based on actual heating and cooling demands. Instead of simply turning on and off like traditional single-stage units, variable-speed systems can operate at multiple capacity levels, providing more consistent temperatures while using less energy.
Advanced control systems integrated into new package units offer features like programmable scheduling, remote access via smartphone apps, and adaptive learning that automatically adjusts settings based on your usage patterns. These smart features help optimize energy consumption while maintaining comfort preferences for different times of day and seasons.
Our commitment to excellence extends beyond technical expertise. We believe in transparent communication throughout the installation process, ensuring you understand every aspect of your new package unit system. From initial assessment to final testing, we work diligently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while delivering exceptional results.
The investment in a new package unit represents a significant decision for any property owner. That's why we take the time to thoroughly evaluate your specific needs, considering factors like square footage, insulation levels, ductwork condition, and your family's comfort preferences. This comprehensive approach ensures we recommend the right package unit size and efficiency rating for optimal performance and energy savings.
During the pre-installation phase, we handle all necessary permits and coordinate with local building authorities to ensure compliance with Reynoldsburg building codes. Our team also verifies that your electrical service can accommodate the new unit's power requirements, arranging for any necessary electrical upgrades before installation day.
Electrical connections are made according to manufacturer specifications and local electrical codes.

Proper sizing is critical for package unit performance and efficiency. Our comprehensive approach ensures optimal system performance and energy savings:
Our certified technicians use Manual J load calculation procedures to determine the exact heating and cooling requirements for your Reynoldsburg property. This detailed analysis considers factors like insulation levels, window efficiency, orientation, local climate data, and internal heat gains from appliances and occupants.
We also evaluate your existing ductwork capacity to ensure it can properly distribute conditioned air from your new package unit. Undersized ducts can create excessive static pressure, reducing system efficiency and potentially causing premature component failure. When necessary, we recommend ductwork modifications to support optimal system performance.
The location of your package unit installation affects sizing considerations as well. Rooftop installations may require additional capacity to compensate for increased heat exposure, while ground-level installations in shaded areas may operate more efficiently with standard sizing calculations.
Proper site preparation is essential for successful package unit installation and long-term performance. For ground-level installations, we excavate and prepare a level concrete pad that extends beyond the unit footprint to provide stable support and proper drainage.
The pad is reinforced with steel mesh and cured to specifications that can support the unit's operating weight plus service technician access. Proper drainage ensures water doesn't accumulate around the unit, preventing foundation issues and maintaining optimal performance.
Rooftop installations require careful structural evaluation to ensure the building can support the package unit's weight plus dynamic loads from operation. We work with structural engineers when necessary to design appropriate mounting systems and verify load-bearing capacity.
Proper roof penetrations are sealed with multiple layers of weatherproofing to prevent water infiltration. All mounting hardware is designed to withstand wind loads and thermal expansion while maintaining weatherproof integrity.
Electrical service preparation includes installing appropriately sized circuit breakers, running electrical feeders to the installation location, and installing required disconnect switches within sight of the package unit. All electrical work is performed by licensed electricians and inspected to ensure code compliance and safe operation.
We verify that your electrical service can accommodate the new unit's power requirements, arranging for any necessary electrical upgrades before installation day. Proper electrical installation ensures safe, reliable operation and maintains warranty coverage.

Proper venting systems are installed to safely remove combustion byproducts from gas-fired components. All gas work is performed by licensed professionals and inspected to ensure safe operation and code compliance.
Connecting your new package unit to existing ductwork requires careful planning to ensure optimal airflow distribution. We inspect your current duct system for size adequacy, condition, and proper sealing before making any connections. Undersized return ducts are a common issue that can restrict airflow and reduce system efficiency.
Our technicians modify ductwork as needed to accommodate your new package unit's airflow requirements. This may include increasing return air duct size, adding additional return air grilles, or reconfiguring supply ductwork for better distribution.
Duct sealing is a critical component of package unit installation. We use high-quality mastic sealants to seal all duct joints and connections, preventing conditioned air from escaping into unconditioned spaces. Properly sealed ductwork can improve system efficiency by 15-20% while reducing hot and cold spots in your home.
Insulation upgrades may be recommended for ductwork running through unconditioned spaces like attics or crawl spaces. Properly insulated ducts prevent energy loss and condensation issues that can lead to mold growth and indoor air quality problems.
