Packaged terminal air conditioning (commonly referred to as PTAC units) are an efficient source of heating and cooling solutions for single living spaces. One PTAC unit is used to control the temperature of one specific room or living area. All PTAC units provide air conditioning in the form of cool air, but some models contain a heating function as well. PTAC units do not require costly or intrusive ductwork, which helps to keep installation costs low while also minimizing installation time.
They are widely used in the hospitality industry, but there are almost endless applications for these self-contained air conditioning systems. PTAC units are popular choices for new construction designs such as; apartment buildings, hotels, motels, dormitories and condominiums. PTAC units are also gaining popularity for residential use where existing ductwork will not reach into a new room addition and even for sunrooms.

Installing PTAC units is an excellent choice for energy efficiency,
whether it is for a single room or in large scale usage. PTAC units are
available in a variety of capacities for the industry standard sizes of 16” x
42”, and 16” x 26”. There are also other dimensions of replacement PTAC’s such
as 32x18, 37x13-15/16, 43.5x18, 25x16 are a few popular replacement wall sleeve
dimensions.
Replacing and Retrofitting PTAC Units
Older PTAC units operate with
less efficiency while producing more noise than the newer available
replacements. New retrofit PTAC units are constructed with innovative
technologies that increase energy efficiency, minimize operation noise and have
comprehensive warranties. New technologies include multiple fan speeds, an
indoor metal crossflow fan and outdoor fan that provide higher efficiency
operation while decreasing the operating noise level of the unit. Other
innovations include the use of more environmentally-friendly refrigerant and
the availability of unit mounted digital controls and sometimes wired or
wireless controls for increased temperature setting control.
Replacing original PTAC equipment can often prove to be a difficult task, especially when the original manufacturer
is no longer in business or producing the model. There are trusted
manufacturers who are dedicated to providing a complete line of
top quality PTAC units, which can
be used to replace or retrofit over 50 different models of original and
discontinued PTAC equipment. These units are designed to provide an easier
installation process to replace a PTAC chassis that can simply slide into the
existing wall sleeve.
