Getting the Most Value with a PTAC
Posted by AC World on November 6th, 2015
Package terminal air conditioners, also known as PTACs, are perfect for use in motels, hotels, and apartments – or anywhere where a single zone ductless unit needs to be controlled. How can companies or individuals get the most value with their PTAC? And what should they look for when searching for a unit? Read on to discover the answers!
What is included a package terminal air conditioner?
Inside a single package system consumers will find all the components of an air-cooled refrigeration and air-handling system. Often it will also include everything they’d get in a heated system, too. The total package is completely self-contained. It’s designed specifically for through-the-wall installation and decorative outdoor grilles can be used to make them fit in seamlessly.
Heating options are available
These package terminal air conditioner units are available with a wide variety of heating options, too. The most common are electrical or heat-pump and both categories include many different options. Remember that heat-pump ambient temperatures are just 15 degrees Fahrenheit, which can create limitations for many climates. This is why the most popular models include electric heat that doesn’t have these limitations.
How to find the right PTAC unit
For those who’ve never invested in this type of system, it can be difficult to find the right one. Generally you’re looking for an option that’s both quick and easy to install. You want a unit that operates quietly so it won’t disturb those who use it, whether they’re guests in a hotel, employees in an office, or individuals living in a home.
Consumers also want to look for PTAC units that are versatile, efficient, and able to be installed in numerous zones. They should be integrated with the most reliable and cost-effective components currently available on the market. The right unit will also come from a manufacturer who stands behind their products with exceptional warranties.
Know that these units are much more advanced than a traditional air conditioning system. They are sleek, stylish, and very efficient. These are just some of the reasons that more and more homeowners, hotels, and companies are turning to them.
