Packaged Unit Installation in Tampa, FL
All-in-one rooftop and ground-level packaged systems for slab homes, mobile homes and light commercial spaces across Tampa Bay.
Packaged units — the whole system in one outdoor cabinet — are common on Tampa’s slab-on-grade homes, mobile and manufactured homes, and small commercial buildings where there is no attic or closet for an air handler. They are also the fastest full-system replacement we do, since everything arrives as one unit.
We install gas/electric, heat pump and straight-cool packaged systems from 2 to 5 tons, including the curb or ground pad, duct connections, and hurricane-rated tie-downs that Florida code and your insurance company both care about.
What’s included
- Load calculation and tonnage verification
- Ground pad or roof curb preparation
- Hurricane-rated tie-down installation
- Supply/return duct connections and sealing
- Electrical and (for gas packs) gas line coordination
- Permit, inspection and warranty registration
Packaged Unit Installation: FAQ
When does a packaged unit make more sense than a split system?
When there is no room indoors for an air handler — slab homes, mobile homes, flat-roof buildings — or when the fastest possible swap matters, like a dead system in July.
Are packaged units hurricane-safe?
With proper tie-downs, yes. Florida Building Code requires mechanical fastening rated for local wind speeds, and we install rated strapping on every packaged unit.
How long do packaged units last in Florida?
Typically 12–15 years in Tampa Bay. Coastal salt air shortens lifespan — for homes near the water we recommend coastal-coated coils.
