What is a Packaged Heat Pump?
The same as above, but the components are built into one unit that sits outside. The outside unit houses both the condensing unit, or the outdoor unit, and the evaporating unit, or the unit that would be inside the basement or crawl space of your home. Usually Packaged Heat Pumps are used when the house is too low to the ground to get a unit under the floor, or when the consumer would rather not have any noise makers under their feet. Packaged units used to be less efficient than split units, but modern advances have led to high efficiency Packaged units.
