Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners

Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners

Singular solutions for all-year-round climate control

Packaged terminal air conditioners offer efficient climate control, ease of installation, and reliability. They are ideal for single rooms in any home, commercial, or institutional space. You can install a PTAC in a living room, bedroom, office, server room, hotel suite, and more.

What Are PTAC Units?

Packaged terminal air conditioners are installed onto walls with outlets leading outside, so they are a convenient alternative to traditional central air conditioning systems. They do not use external condensers, so they eliminate ductwork and pipework, making installation quicker and less disruptive. They are ideal for retrofit installation or in areas where the space is otherwise unavailable.

How Do PTAC Units Work?

The most attractive unique selling point of packaged terminal air conditioning units is their efficiency and versatility. They draw far less power than alternative technologies, lowering running costs. They are also not limited to cooling, and also feature heat pumps or heating elements, so you can use them as an all-year-round product and avoid using your space and budget for separate cooling and heating solutions.

PTAC units work as domestic air conditioning units by exchanging heat and moisture by circulating refrigerant through their system. Alternatively, this process can also be reversed to pump heat into a room.

These units operate by drawing in indoor air and cooling it through an evaporator coil using refrigerant, and then blowing the cooled air back into the room while expelling heat outside via a condenser coil. When a PTAC is used for heating, they use either electric resistance heaters or heat pump technology, which reverse the cooling cycle to bring heat indoors.

Many units also have a vent to allow a small amount of fresh outdoor air into the space. PTACs are typically installed through an exterior wall and function independently of central HVAC systems.

Why Should I Buy A PTAC Unit?

There are many benefits to Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners, namely their easy installation process and the versatility in installation location. PTAC units are small, effective and multifunctional. They are perfect for domestic or other small environments, and can cool or heat a room effectively.
Due to their size and power input, they are also energy efficient, and reduce the need for central heating during cold seasons.
Through-the-wall air conditioners are also compact and embrace sleek, contemporary designs that you can integrate them into any space. They also run quietly, so they are not disruptive or distracting during leisure time, sleep, or work.
