This is Turtle.

Package units are made for Flate Roof Tops, Homes off the ground, and trailor
houses for all can be fitted to a Package unit. Split system are made for any
home that has a slab under it or a pitched roof on top of it.

Yes , you can put a package unit on a house with a slab or pitched roof but cost
of sheet metal will be out of this world. Also you will have sheet metal duct
going up the side of your house that may not look nice.

Do you know that the unit's outdoor coil discharges lots of hot air
(120 deg) in the summer? Are you going to vent that in your living
room on 100 degree days? In your attic?

By the way, those costs are nice but plan on paying double or triple
that amount depending on....

Package units, for the most part, need to be planned when the house is
built so that they can route the main supply plenum and the return air
to the air handler in the pacage. This is particularly true for a
slab on grade foundation.

I have a package system but it was installed when the house was built.
the supply and return ducts are arranged around a couple of back to
back closets. One of the closets has a built up floor to handle the
return duct. it goes through the closet and then to a central hall.The
room supply ducts are in the attic. The supply duct makes a 90 up
between the two closets )behind one and on the side of another and
then headers off to each of the floors with ceiling registers.

With a split unit it is easier to retrofit because the only thing you
have to route is the coolant lines and you have to find a central
place for the evaporater and blowers

By the way, I like the package unit. The evaporator and air handling
blowers are outside in the package and the noise in the house is much
less than other houses i've had with split unitsl.

Hello,
What does the "duct" connection on the Packaged unit look like?
How big is it?
What size ducts does it feed?
Can the ducts from a Split Unit (or other kind of central furnace/air
conditioner)
be used?
Where can i see pictures of the duct-work hooked up?

You're not going to try doing this yourself, are you?
