Is It Time for Package Unit & Gas Pack Service?

Packaged systems live outdoors in full Arizona sun, which shortens everything. Call for service if:

Weak airflow or warm air from the vents

The unit runs constantly without reaching setpoint

Visible rust, corrosion or damaged cabinet panels

Burning smell or no ignition when heating is called

Water staining on the ceiling beneath the unit

The unit is 12-15+ years old and repairs are stacking up

Rising energy bills with no change in usage

Why Professional Service Is Important

Rooftop work combines gas, high-voltage electrical, refrigerant and height. Here is why professional service is essential:

Combustion Safety:

Gas packs require heat exchanger inspection. A cracked exchanger sends combustion gases into your supply air, which is the main carbon monoxide risk in a gas furnace or gas pack.

Roof and Duct Integrity:

Failed curb seals let conditioned air escape and monsoon rain into your ceiling. We inspect the connection, not just the equipment.

Correct Refrigerant Charge:

Arizona heat punishes an undercharged system. Proper charge is measured, not guessed.

Certified Handling:

EPA Section 608 certification is legally required to handle refrigerant. Our technicians hold it.

Safe Rooftop Access:

Rooftop service demands proper fall protection and equipment. It is not a homeowner job.

Easy Package Unit Maintenance Tips

Packaged units need more attention than split systems because everything is exposed:

Change Filters Every 1-2 Months:

Dust load is higher in Phoenix and a restricted filter is the most common cause of failure.

Keep the Cabinet Clear:

Maintain clearance around the unit so it can reject heat properly.

Rinse the Condenser Coil Annually:

Dust and monsoon debris insulate the coil and raise operating pressures.

Inspect the Curb Seal Before Monsoon:

Deteriorated sealant is how water gets into the ceiling. It belongs on any Arizona monsoon season HVAC checklist.

Watch for Rust:

Cabinet corrosion around the base panel signals a drainage problem worth addressing early.

Book a Heating Check Every Autumn:

Gas pack heat exchangers must be inspected before the first cold night.

Join the APES Family Plan:

Packaged systems benefit most from twice-yearly professional maintenance plan visits.

FAQ

What is a package unit?

A package unit houses the compressor, coil, blower and heating section in one outdoor cabinet, usually on the roof. Split systems divide those components between an outdoor condenser and an indoor air handler.

A gas pack is a package unit that combines electric air conditioning with a gas furnace section in the same cabinet. It is common on Arizona homes without indoor mechanical space.

Typically 12-15 years. Constant sun exposure and monsoon debris shorten life compared with the same equipment in milder climates, which is also why AC units in Arizona generally last less time than the national average.

If the unit is over 12 years old and the repair approaches a third of replacement cost, replacement is usually the better value. We give you both numbers.

Do you service rooftop units?

Yes. Our technicians are equipped for rooftop access and carry the fall protection required for safe service.

A brief dust burn-off smell at first heating of the season is normal. A persistent gas or burning odour is not  shut it down, leave the house if you smell gas, and call.

Twice a year: cooling in spring, heating in autumn. The combustion side needs its own annual inspection.

Sometimes, but it requires indoor space for an air handler and new line sets and ductwork. We evaluate feasibility and cost during consultation.
