What to Expect From Your PTAC Unit

When you're outfitting a hotel, upgrading a multifamily property, or looking for an efficient heating and cooling solution for a single room, a PTAC unit is a smart option. But exactly what is a PTAC unit, and what can you expect once it’s installed?

Let’s break it down so you can get the most out of your investment.

What Is a PTAC Unit?

A Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner (PTAC) is a self-contained heating and cooling system installed through an exterior wall. Common in hotels, assisted living facilities, and apartment complexes, PTAC units are designed to condition individual rooms or suites without tying into a central HVAC system.

Each unit includes everything it needs to heat and cool a space: a compressor, condenser, evaporator, and fan, all in one box. That means no ductwork, individual room control, efficient energy use, and simplified maintenance and replacement.
