Our Comprehensive Package Unit Installation Process

Every successful installation begins with accurate sizing and proper site preparation. We perform detailed Manual J load calculations accounting for building size, insulation, windows, orientation, and local climate conditions.

Load Calculation Process:

  • Manual J methodology accounting for building characteristics and local climate
  • Heating and cooling loads calculated separately ensuring adequate capacity year-round
  • Ductwork assessment evaluating existing distribution or designing new system
  • Existing system evaluation understanding current performance and problems

Site Evaluation Includes:

  • Outdoor placement options considering service access, clearances, and aesthetic impact
  • Ductwork routing from outdoor unit to indoor distribution
  • Electrical service capacity verification and circuit planning
  • Gas service availability and line routing (gas package units)
  • Local codes and permit requirements

Based on load calculations and site conditions, we design a complete climate control system tailored to your specific needs and preferences.

Package Unit Capacity Selection:

  • Residential sizing typically 1.5 to 5 tons (18,000-60,000 BTU cooling capacity)
  • Light commercial up to 10+ tons for larger applications
  • Proper sizing critical - oversized systems short-cycle, undersized systems can't maintain comfort

Package Unit Type Selection:

  • Gas/electric package units providing gas furnace heating with electric air conditioning
  • Heat pump package units providing year-round heating and cooling with electric heat pump
  • Dual-fuel package units combining heat pump with gas backup heat for maximum efficiency
  • Cooling-only package units for applications with separate heating systems

Package Unit Types and Configurations

The most common package unit configuration combines gas furnace heating with electric air conditioning in one outdoor cabinet.

Ideal for:

  • Homes with natural gas or propane service
  • Properties without indoor mechanical space
  • Manufactured housing and modular homes
  • Light commercial applications
  • Replacement of existing gas/electric package units

Key Features:

  • Gas furnace heating (80% or 95% AFUE efficiency)
  • Electric air conditioning (14-16 SEER2)
  • Single outdoor unit containing all components
  • Lower operating costs than all-electric systems in northern climates

Heat pump package units provide both heating and cooling using electric heat pump technology, with supplemental electric resistance heat for cold weather backup.

Ideal for:

  • Areas without natural gas service
  • New construction emphasizing all-electric systems
  • Properties where outdoor equipment placement preferred
  • Cold-climate heat pump models for Illinois winters

Key Features:

  • Year-round comfort from single unit
  • Efficiency ratings up to 16 SEER2 cooling, 9.5 HSPF2 heating
  • Electric strip heat backup for coldest weather
  • Environmentally-friendly operation using electricity

Dual-fuel package units combine heat pump efficiency with gas furnace reliability, automatically switching between fuel sources for optimal efficiency and comfort.

How Dual-Fuel Works:

  • Heat pump provides efficient heating during mild weather (above 35-40°F typically)
  • System automatically switches to gas furnace during cold weather when gas heat is more efficient
  • Best of both worlds—heat pump efficiency most of the year with reliable gas heat when needed

Efficiency Advantages:

  • Heat pump operates during 70-80% of heating season (depending on climate)
  • Lower overall operating costs compared to either system alone
  • Flexibility adapting to energy cost changes

Signs You Need a New Package Unit

Package units typically last 12-18 years with proper maintenance. As systems age, efficiency degrades and repair frequency increases.

Age Considerations:

  • 10-12 years old - consider replacement if facing expensive repairs
  • 12-15 years old - replacement often makes better financial sense
  • 15+ years old - immediate replacement recommended due to efficiency loss

Why Age Matters:

  • Efficiency degradation over time even with maintenance
  • Outdoor exposure accelerates wear on all components
  • Modern systems offer 20-30% better efficiency than 2000s-era equipment

Multiple service calls per season indicate system approaching end of useful life. The 50% rule: If repair costs exceed 50% of replacement value and your package unit is 10+ years old, replacement typically makes better financial sense.

Common Repeated Repairs:

  • Compressor failures (extremely expensive repair)
  • Heat exchanger cracks or failures (gas units)
  • Reversing valve failures (heat pump units)
  • Multiple refrigerant leaks
  • Control board replacements

Rising Utility Bills:

  • Bills increasing 20%+ compared to previous years
  • System running constantly on hot or cold days
  • Longer run times to maintain temperature

Why Professional Installation Matters

Even premium equipment performs poorly if installed incorrectly. Professional installation ensures optimal performance, efficiency, and longevity.

Proper Sizing Prevents Problems:

  • Correctly-sized systems run in efficient cycles
  • Proper ductwork delivers adequate airflow
  • Appropriate clearances ensure airflow and service access

Quality Workmanship Matters:

  • Proper weatherproofing prevents moisture infiltration
  • Correct electrical connections ensure safe operation
  • Proper refrigerant charge maximizes efficiency
  • Quality ductwork connections prevent air leaks

Safety and Code Compliance

Professional installation ensures safety and code compliance throughout the process.

  • Proper electrical service sizing and protection
  • Gas line installation to code with leak testing
  • Structural support adequate for unit weight
  • Weatherproof connections preventing hazards
  • Permit compliance and inspection approval

Manufacturer warranties require professional installation. DIY or unlicensed installation voids all warranty coverage.

  • Factory warranty protection maintained with professional installation
  • Extended warranty options available through authorized dealers
  • Installation warranty on workmanship and materials
  • Service support from certified technicians
  • Parts availability through manufacturer relationships

Package Unit Installation FAQs

Get answers to your questions

Most residential package unit installations are completed in 1-2 days depending on complexity. Single-day installations (8-12 hours) are typical for straightforward replacements on existing pads with good ductwork. Two-day installations may be needed for new pad construction, extensive ductwork modifications, or electrical service upgrades.

Package unit sizing requires professional Manual J load calculation accounting for building characteristics and local climate. Illinois homes typically need 400-600 square feet per ton of cooling capacity, but insulation quality, windows, and orientation significantly impact actual requirements. We perform detailed calculations ensuring your package unit is sized precisely for your building.

Package units offer all components outdoors eliminating need for indoor mechanical space, simplified installation, and quieter indoor environment. They're ideal for manufactured housing, properties without interior mechanical rooms, and situations where simplified service access is priority. Split systems typically offer better efficiency and protected indoor components.

Yes—when properly selected and installed, package units provide reliable heating throughout Illinois winters. Gas package units include furnaces providing consistent heating to -20°F and below. Heat pump package units with backup electric heat work effectively, and dual-fuel units combine heat pump efficiency with gas furnace reliability during extreme cold.

Package units require twice-annual professional maintenance—spring service before cooling season and fall service before heating season. Outdoor exposure means coils accumulate more dirt requiring thorough cleaning, plus weatherproofing inspection and pest control checks. We offer maintenance agreements with priority benefits. Learn more about our maintenance services.

L & H Services Inc. handles all permit acquisition and coordinates required inspections per local requirements throughout Beecher, IL and Will County.

Yes, package units are excellent for rooftop installations, especially in commercial applications. We ensure proper structural support, weatherproofing, drainage, and service access for rooftop package unit installations. This placement saves ground space and provides easy service access while keeping equipment secure.

New package units come with comprehensive manufacturer warranties—typically 10 years on parts with options for extended coverage including lifetime compressor warranties. L & H Services Inc. also provides installation warranties on workmanship and materials. Professional installation is required to maintain all warranty coverage.
