Not every building has room for a furnace, an air handler and an outdoor condenser. A packaged unit puts everything in one cabinet that sits outside on a ground-level pad or on the roof. It’s the go-to choice for homes without basements or attics, manufactured homes, and commercial buildings that need to save indoor space. HCS Heating & Cooling installs, repairs and maintains residential and commercial packaged units, with honest advice and a clear price before any work begins.
How It Works
A packaged unit holds the compressor, coils, blower and heating section in one weatherproof cabinet. Supply and return ducts connect the unit to your building through an outside wall, the roof or a crawl space. The unit cools in summer and heats in winter with a gas burner, a heat pump or electric heat, depending on the model.

Packaged Unit FAQs
Here are answers to the questions New Jersey homeowners ask us most. Need something else? Just give us a call — we’re happy to help.
What's the difference between a packaged unit and a split system?
- A split system has an outdoor condenser plus an indoor furnace or air handler.
- A packaged unit combines everything in one outdoor cabinet, so nothing takes up space inside.
Where is a packaged unit installed?
- Most residential units sit on a concrete or composite pad next to the home.
- Commercial units are usually mounted on the roof on a curb.
- Ducts connect through an outside wall, the roof or a crawl space.
How long does a packaged unit last?
- Most packaged units last 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance.
- Units near the coast may wear faster from salt air, so routine cleaning and inspections matter.
Are packaged units energy efficient?
Yes.
- Today’s packaged units are available in high-efficiency models, including heat pumps and dual-fuel systems.
- We’ll help you compare upfront cost and long-term savings.
Do you service commercial rooftop units?
Yes.
We install, repair and maintain rooftop packaged units for offices, stores, restaurants and other commercial buildings.
