When you need reliable, efficient heating and cooling for your Arizona home — without the complexity of separate indoor and outdoor systems — a residential package unit offers the perfect solution. At Hometown HVAC, we specialize in package unit installation and replacement for homeowners, contractors, and custom builders throughout Phoenix, AZ, and surrounding areas.

With over 30 years of HVAC experience, we install compact, efficient, and durable Armstrong residential package units that handle both heating and cooling in a single rooftop or ground-mounted cabinet. These systems are ideal for homes with limited indoor space or older units in need of a total HVAC upgrade.

Why Choose a Residential Package Unit?

Package units combine the air conditioner, furnace or heat pump, coil, and blower into one sleek, outdoor enclosure. That means simplified installation, easier maintenance, and energy-efficient performance — all while freeing up indoor square footage.

Benefits of a package HVAC system:

  • One system for both heating and cooling
  • Installs on the roof or ground for space savings
  • Easier access for repairs and tune-ups
  • Simplified ductwork connections
  • Ideal for mobile homes, smaller homes, or tight utility rooms
  • Efficient performance for Phoenix's long cooling season

Whether you're replacing an old split system or building new, a package unit can deliver consistent, affordable comfort all year long.

Residential Package Units: Gas/Electric vs. Heat Pump

When selecting a package system, it's important to understand your two main configuration options:

Gas/Electric Package Units

  • Gas furnace for heating + electric AC for cooling
  • High heating power during colder nights
  • Best for homes with existing natural gas connections

All-Electric Heat Pump Package Units

  • Electric heat pump provides both heating and cooling
  • High-efficiency and environmentally friendly
  • Great for homes without gas lines or with solar power systems

Our team will help you weigh the pros and cons of each based on energy costs, comfort needs, and long-term efficiency.

When Should I Replace My Existing Package Unit?

If your current HVAC system is underperforming, constantly breaking down, or over 10-15 years old, it may be time to upgrade to a new package unit. New systems provide greater efficiency, quieter operation, and lower utility costs.

Signs it's time for replacement:

  • Rising energy bills despite normal use
  • Hot or cold spots in your home
  • Frequent repairs or worn-out parts
  • Inconsistent thermostat performance
  • Loud operation or poor airflow
  • Unit is 10-20+ years old

We offer free consultations and provide honest recommendations on whether repair or replacement is the smarter long-term investment.

Our Customer Testimonials

5/5

"We recently had an issue with our Trane AC unit, and Shelby from Hometown HVAC did a fantastic job. He quickly diagnosed the problem, replaced the capacitor, and had us back up and running in no time. Shelby has over 30 years of HVAC experience and specializes in residential work, with commercial experience as well. He's professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy- showed up in a branded truck and uniform, explained everything clearly, and didn't try to upsell us, just focused on the repair. His pricing is very reasonable. He mentioned that he works in North Scottsdale frequently and handles maintenance, repair, and emergency calls. I'd highly recommend Shelby and Hometown HVAC to anyone in the area who needs reliable AC service."

"I have been a GC for over 30 years and when I came to AZ 7 years ago, I met Shelby even before he started HomeTown and have worked with him ever since. My remodel projects are not easy, and Shelby puts in the time on the front end and helps me design. He is very knowledgeable and with his expertise, we can put together an affordable and functional system that I know will work. He has strong communication skills and puts together a clear and detailed estimates. I know that I am only as good as the people around me and that is why I value working with HomeTown HVAC."

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Package Units in Phoenix

Everything You Need to Know Before Installing or Replacing a Package HVAC System

A package unit is an all-in-one HVAC system that includes the air conditioner, furnace or heat pump, coil, and blower in a single outdoor cabinet. It's typically installed on the roof or ground and connects to your ductwork to deliver both heating and cooling to the entire home.

Package units are ideal for homes with limited indoor space, older properties, or mobile homes. They offer efficient performance, simplified installation, and easier maintenance access. In Phoenix, where cooling demands are high, they're a great solution for all-in-one home comfort.

Gas/electric package units use a gas furnace for heating and an electric AC for cooling. Heat pump package units use electricity for both heating and cooling by reversing the refrigerant cycle. Gas/electric systems are great for homes with natural gas access, while heat pumps are ideal for all-electric homes or energy-conscious builds.

Consider replacing your system with a package unit if: Your current unit is 10-15+ years old, you need to free up indoor space, your system requires frequent repairs, you're building a new home, addition, or casita, or you want to simplify your HVAC footprint and reduce maintenance costs.
