Packaged Unit Installation Technical Guide for Downtown Las Vegas
Packaged Unit Installation: Single-Cabinet Simplicity
Packaged units offer advantages for homes without space for separate indoor and outdoor components. With everything in one cabinet, there's no refrigerant line set to run between units, no indoor closet or attic space needed for an air handler, and the entire system can be serviced from one location. Installation involves setting the unit on a rooftop curb or ground-level pad, connecting the supply and return ductwork, running electrical and gas connections, and configuring the controls.
Installation Specifics
- Curb adapter matching — The rooftop curb (the frame that connects the unit to your ductwork through the roof) must match the new unit's footprint. When replacing with a different brand or model, a transition adapter or new curb may be required.
- Structural considerations — Packaged units weigh 300-800+ lbs. We verify roof structural capacity and use cranes for rooftop placement. The mounting platform must be level and properly flashed to prevent roof leaks.
- Duct transition — The connection between the packaged unit and the home's duct system is critical. We seal and insulate the transition thoroughly to prevent the energy losses that are common in poorly installed rooftop connections.
- Electrical and gas — Packaged units require a dedicated electrical circuit and disconnect switch at the unit location. Gas models need a properly sized gas line run to the rooftop or pad location.
Downtown Las Vegas Neighborhood HVAC Equipment Profile
From an equipment perspective, Downtown Las Vegas's 1940s to present construction means our technicians encounter a wide range of air handlers, split systems, packaged units, and thermostats across different neighborhood sections.
- Arts District / 18b (1950s-1970s with modern loft conversions) — Highly varied — from original 1950s homes with basic systems to modern loft conversions with ductless mini-splits and VRF systems.
- Fremont East / Historic neighborhoods (1940s-1960s historic residential) — Whatever fits the space — split systems where possible, mini-splits where ductwork isn't feasible. Creative installations are the norm.
- Huntridge / Maryland Parkway (1940s-1960s established residential) — Split systems where space allows. Mini-splits increasingly popular for homes where ducting is impractical.
Where We Serve in Downtown Las Vegas
We serve Downtown Las Vegas neighborhoods including Fremont East, Arts District (18b), Huntridge, John S. Park, Cashman Field area, and Gateway District and surrounding communities.
Can you install HVAC in historic Downtown Las Vegas homes?
Yes. Our technicians have experience retrofitting HVAC in 1940s-1960s homes that weren't designed for air conditioning. We offer solutions ranging from traditional duct systems (where space allows) to ductless mini-splits that provide zone-by-zone comfort without invasive ductwork.
Are loft HVAC needs different from regular homes?
Significantly different. Loft conversions typically have high ceilings, large glass areas, and open floor plans that create oversized cooling loads. Standard residential systems may not be adequate — we evaluate loft-specific cooling loads and recommend appropriately sized solutions.
Packaged Unit Installation Priorities for Downtown Las Vegas Homes
Packaged unit installation in Downtown Las Vegas places the entire HVAC system outdoors (typically on the roof or a ground pad), requiring careful structural assessment, ductwork routing, and weatherproofing. Downtown Las Vegas uses packaged units more frequently than suburban areas due to the tight lots and limited indoor space typical of older properties. Rooftop packaged units on commercial-residential buildings downtown require crane access for replacement and face intense solar exposure that accelerates component aging. Ground-mounted packaged units in downtown yards must meet noise ordinances and setback requirements that affect equipment selection and placement options.
