Advantages to Installing a Package Unit for Heating

Here in Redlands, heating services often have to handle package units, which combine traditional heaters with air conditioning systems. Heat pumps – which function as heaters in the winter and air conditioners in the summer – and similar systems make a lot of sense in desert communities like ours. If you’re looking at installing a new heating system, you might want to consider some version of a package unit. Here are some advantages to installing a package unit for heating:

• It’s efficient. Heat pumps are prized for their ability to warm and cool the air while using much less energy (and costing much less money in monthly bills) than gas furnaces. That efficiency drops when the temperature goes below 40 degrees, but that’s not a huge concern in towns like Redlands, and if it is, you can include a smaller electric furnace as part of your package unit to make up the difference. Even then, the monthly cost of running the system is less than you might pay with a more traditional system.
•  It’s space friendly. Package units don’t need a lot of extra space: combining everything into one box that can be easily placed in an appropriate nook or out-of-the-way spot such as an attic. That frees up space for additional storage, which both private homes and businesses can always use more of.
• It improves the resale value of your home. Once it’s installed, a package system makes your home more attractive to buyers adding to its resale value. Depending on the circumstances, it make even be enough to offset the cost of installation.
