Hello,
Here in Florida i called a heating/cooling place to have a heat pump installed.
They said i couldnot have a "Packaged Heat Pump" because i donot have a trailer
(mobile home) where they can run the duct work underneath the floor. I have
a house and they have to run the duct work in the attack, therefore i cannot
have a "Packaged Heat Pumb", and must have a "Split-System Heat Pump" because
of the ductwork. Is that true?
Here is what i mean by "Packaged Heat Pump" and "Split-System Heat Pump":

You won't be happy with a package unit. Too much of your cooling will
be wasted in the attic. The best case is to have the air handler as
close to the center of the house as possible.
If you are in South Florida I doubt if the heat pump will pay for
itself anyway. The heating season is measured in days. "Toaster wire"
heat is the standard down here. I probably did not have mine on more
than 12-15 hours all winter this year. Usually an hour or so in the
morning will knock the chill off the house on those few days when it
is necessary. Of course your mileage may vary depending on the
resilliance of your wife.

Hello,
Are you saying if i put the Packaged Heat Pump's air handler toward the center
of the house then it will work more efficiently, or will it still be a waste
of money?

I suppose you COULD mount a packaged unit on the gable of some homes and
run the duct work through the attic. Or even put the packaged unit on a
slab and run insulated duct work up the side of the home and into /
through the attic. Either way, it would be ugly and inefficient. Why
would you want to do that instead of installing a split system?

Hello,
Why do they make "Packaged Units"?
I thought it would be nice to have all that noise and stuff outside.
