Package Unit Installation in Tempe, AZ
A package unit installation puts the entire HVAC system — compressor, coil, and air handler — into one cabinet mounted outside the building. This setup is common in Tempe homes built on slab foundations where there's no basement or interior mechanical space. Getting the installation right means proper duct connections, correct refrigerant charge, and a drainage setup that handles monsoon season without backing up. A poorly installed package unit will underperform no matter how good the equipment is.

When to Call
When You Need Package Unit Installation

How It Works
Our Process for Package Unit Installation
- 1
Site Evaluation
We check the existing pad, duct connections, electrical disconnect, and drainage line before selecting equipment.
- 2
Old Unit Removal
The existing unit is disconnected, refrigerant recovered per EPA regulations, and the cabinet removed without damaging the supply and return duct connections.
- 3
New Unit Installation
The new unit is set on the pad, connected to ductwork and electrical supply, and refrigerant is charged to specification.
- 4
System Test
We verify airflow through every register, check refrigerant pressures, and confirm the thermostat controls both cooling and heating modes.
Tempe Context
Why this matters in Tempe
Package units are the dominant system type in older Tempe neighborhoods like Escalante and Maple-Ash. Their exposed location in the side yard means they take full sun exposure and are vulnerable to hard water scale from irrigation systems.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
Price depends on the unit's tonnage, whether the concrete pad needs replacement or extension, and whether the electrical disconnect is sized correctly for the new equipment. We check all of this during the site evaluation.
