Buying Guide for Package Terminal Air Conditioners
Cooling and Heating Capacity
Choose a PTAC suitable for your space size. Higher BTU ratings cool and heat larger rooms effectively. Common capacities range from 9,000 to 15,000 BTU for residential and commercial uses.
Heating Options
Some PTAC models include built-in electric heaters while others use heat pumps with electric backup. Heat pumps are more efficient in moderate climates, while electric heaters offer reliable heat in colder conditions.
Energy Efficiency & Refrigerant
Look for units using modern refrigerants like R-32, which are more environmentally friendly. Energy efficiency ratings such as EER and COP indicate lower energy consumption and operating costs.
Installation Components
Verify if the PTAC unit includes wall sleeves, exterior grilles, and drain kits. These are essential for proper installation but sometimes sold separately, adding to the overall cost and effort.
Control Features and Convenience
Smart controls such as wireless remote kits, Bluetooth, and app connectivity simplify operation and allow for diagnostics and scheduling. Some units may require external thermostats or include integrated control panels.
Noise Level
Since PTACs are installed in living areas, consider models with noise reduction features to ensure quiet operation for guest comfort or residential use.
Power Requirements
Ensure compatibility with your building’s electrical system. Most PTACs operate on 208-230V, 1 phase, 60Hz and require a 20A power plug with appropriate breakers for safety.
