About Package Units

All-in-one HVAC systems for mobile homes, tight lots, and rooftop installs

A package unit combines everything an HVAC system needs — condenser, evaporator coil, blower, and often a heat source — into one outdoor cabinet. Instead of running refrigerant lines between an outdoor condenser and indoor air handler, the package unit handles the whole refrigeration cycle outside and just pushes conditioned air through your ducts via a single supply and return connection.

Every package unit on this page is factory-charged, fully assembled, and shipped from our Ocala, FL warehouse — usually out the door within 1-3 business days. We carry Goodman (a Daikin brand) and our own Ace Air private label, with configurations spanning AC-only, heat pump, gas/electric, and mobile-home-approved electric heat variants.

The first decision is unit type (AC vs. heat pump vs. gas/electric vs. mobile home). From there, match tonnage to your home's cooling load and refrigerant to your long-term preference. Package units are installed by licensed HVAC contractors, same as split systems.

What to look at when choosing

Five things to decide before you buy — starting with the big one: unit type

U

Unit type (this is the big decision)

Packaged AC = cooling only, needs separate heat source. Packaged heat pump = heats and cools year-round. Gas/electric package = AC + gas furnace in one cabinet. Mobile home electric = AC with built-in electric heat strips, specifically approved for manufactured home installations.

T

Tonnage (cooling capacity)

Same sizing rule as split systems — 1 ton is about 12,000 BTU/h or 600 sq ft. Package units are most commonly 2-5 tons for residential use. Mobile homes are typically 1.5-3 tons.

E

SEER2 (efficiency)

Same DOE test standard as split systems. Higher = lower electric bill. Southern states require 14.3 SEER2 minimum; Northern states allow 13.4. Package units often come in at the minimum efficiency tier — you'll see more variety in the split-system market if efficiency is your top priority.

R

Refrigerant type

R-32 and R-454B are the current compliant refrigerants. R-410A is legacy. Since package units are all-in-one (refrigerant lines are sealed inside the cabinet), there's no indoor unit to match — just pick the refrigerant you prefer for long-term service.

I

Installation surface

Most package units install on a concrete pad at ground level. Rooftop installation is common on mobile homes and small commercial buildings — look for 'down-flow' supply/return configuration. Always check your local building code for setback requirements and hurricane strapping (Florida especially).

DOE regional efficiency standards

Package units follow the same regional SEER2 minimums as split systems

Northern States

13.4 SEER2 minimum

23 states spanning the upper Midwest, Northeast, and Pacific Northwest. 13.4 SEER2 package units are legal here — and common, since package unit efficiency tends to come in lower than split systems.

  • Includes WA, OR, ID, MT, WY, ND, SD, NE, IA, WI, MN, IL, IN, MI, OH, PA, NY, VT, NH, MA, CT, RI, ME, NJ
Southern States

14.3 SEER2 minimum

27 states + DC. 13.4 SEER2 package units can't be legally installed new in these states — only 14.3 SEER2 and higher. Use the SEER2 filter above to hide legacy units.

  • Includes FL, GA, AL, MS, LA, TX, OK, AR, TN, KY, WV, VA, NC, SC, MD, DE, DC, NM, AZ, CA, NV, UT, CO, KS, MO, HI

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about package unit selection, installation, and operation

What's a package unit, and how is it different from a split system?

A package unit combines every part of an HVAC system — compressor, condenser coil, evaporator coil, blower, and sometimes a heat source — into a single outdoor cabinet. A split system separates the condenser (outside) from the air handler or coil (inside), connected by refrigerant lines. Package units are simpler to install (no indoor unit, no line set run), more forgiving of tight homes where there's no room for an indoor cabinet, and the default choice for mobile homes. Split systems are typically more efficient and quieter.

When should I choose a package unit over a split system?

Three common scenarios: (1) Mobile homes — most are designed around package units, with ducting that connects directly to a rooftop or pad-mounted unit; (2) Tight homes or condos where there's no indoor space for an air handler; (3) Replacement — if your current system is a package unit, a new package unit is usually the drop-in replacement. Split systems generally win on efficiency and sound, so if you're building new and have the space, consider both options.

What's the difference between 'electric heat' and 'gas/electric'?

Electric heat means the unit has electric resistance heat strips (typically 5kW-15kW) built into the package cabinet — reliable and simple, but more expensive to run than gas in most markets. Common on mobile home units. Gas/electric means the unit has a natural gas or propane furnace burning in the cabinet for heating, with electric cooling — cheaper to operate in cold climates with affordable gas. Heat pump packages use the refrigeration cycle to heat and cool, most efficient overall but may need electric backup in the coldest climates.

What are RLA, LRA, MCA, and MOCP on the spec sheet?

These are the electrical specs your installer needs to wire the unit. RLA (Rated Load Amps) is normal running current. LRA (Locked Rotor Amps) is startup current — briefly much higher. MCA (Minimum Circuit Ampacity) is the minimum wire size needed. MOCP (Maximum Overcurrent Protection) is the largest breaker that can legally protect the circuit. You don't need to memorize these — your licensed installer will use them to spec the electrical. Just make sure your home has a breaker panel with enough open capacity.

Does Ace Air Direct ship package units nationwide?

Yes. We ship package units to all 48 contiguous states from our warehouse in Ocala, FL. Because they're larger and heavier than split-system condensers, package units ship via freight carrier with lift-gate service available. Most orders leave within 1-3 business days. Local pickup is available in Ocala for additional savings — package units fit easily in a pickup truck bed or small trailer.
