Packaged Unit Installation Technical Guide for Summerlin
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.
Summerlin Neighborhood HVAC Equipment Profile
From an equipment perspective, Summerlin's 1990s to present construction means our technicians encounter a wide range of air handlers, split systems, packaged units, and thermostats across different neighborhood sections.
- The Vistas / The Trails (Mid-1990s, homes now 25-30 years old) — Mix of original and replacement systems. Thermostats upgraded to programmable but often not optimized for Summerlin's altitude-driven temperature swings.
- The Cliffs / The Paseos (Mid-2000s, compact lots) — Standard split systems with programmable thermostats. Some homes with zoned systems. Air handlers typically in garage.
- Summerlin West / The Mesa (2015-present, highest elevation) — Smart thermostats, communicating systems, and variable-speed equipment. Some homes with whole-home air purification systems.
Where We Serve in Summerlin
We serve Summerlin neighborhoods including The Trails, The Arbors, The Paseos, The Willows, The Vistas, Red Rock Country Club, and Summerlin West and surrounding communities.
Do HOA rules affect my HVAC options in Summerlin?
Many Summerlin villages have HOA guidelines governing condenser placement, noise levels, and exterior equipment visibility. We're familiar with common Summerlin HOA requirements and can recommend equipment that meets community standards.
Does Summerlin's higher elevation really make a difference for HVAC?
Absolutely. Summerlin's 3,200+ foot elevation provides 5-10°F cooler summers than the valley floor — reducing AC runtime — but the coldest residential winters in the valley with lows in the mid-20s°F. Both cooling AND heating reliability matter here.
Packaged Unit Installation Priorities for Summerlin Homes
Packaged unit installation in Summerlin places the entire HVAC system outdoors (typically on the roof or a ground pad), requiring careful structural assessment, ductwork routing, and weatherproofing. Summerlin packaged units are found primarily in the community's commercial centers — Downtown Summerlin, Tivoli Village, and various village commercial areas — rather than residential homes. These commercial installations face the same extreme conditions as the rest of the valley but often serve critical spaces like restaurants and medical offices where system downtime has immediate business impact. Residential packaged units in Summerlin are rare but occasionally found in older village commercial-adjacent properties.
