Common Questions About Packaged Unit Maintenance in Las Vegas
What is a packaged unit?
A packaged unit combines heating and cooling in a single outdoor cabinet, usually installed on the roof or a concrete pad beside the home. It connects to your ductwork through a single opening, unlike split systems that have separate indoor and outdoor components.
How often does a packaged unit need maintenance?
Twice a year is recommended, once before cooling season and once before heating season. Because all components are exposed to outdoor elements, packaged units accumulate dust and weather damage faster than indoor equipment.
Are packaged units harder to maintain?
Not harder, but different. Rooftop units require safe access and attention to cabinet seals, weatherproofing, and drainage that indoor units don’t need. Our technicians are trained in packaged unit service for all mounting configurations.
Can you service the heating and cooling sides in one visit?
Yes. During shoulder seasons, we often service both the heating and cooling components in a single maintenance visit for maximum convenience.
What maintenance plans cover packaged units?
Our TCC Platinum Package and Platinum Package include dual-season maintenance for packaged units, with priority scheduling and discounts on any needed repairs.
