Gas Packaged Units

A gas package unit puts the entire HVAC system outside the building. Compressor, condenser, evaporator coil, gas furnace, blower, and controls all sit in one weatherproof cabinet that connects directly to indoor ductwork. For homes without basements, attics with no clearance, or properties where indoor mechanical space simply does not exist, an HVAC gas package unit is the only configuration that fits.

Gas package units also simplify installation: no refrigerant lines run through the building envelope, no gas piping runs to an indoor furnace, and service technicians do all maintenance from a single outdoor location. Gas package unit prices reflect the value: a complete heating and cooling system in one cabinet at a single equipment line item, which often comes in below comparable split system configurations once installation labor is factored in. Trade-offs are real (slightly lower efficiency than split systems, exposure to weather), but for the right property the simplicity is worth it.

Our gas package unit selection covers 2 ton through 5 ton residential and light commercial sizes, with BTU outputs from 60,000 to 120,000. Goodman dominates the lineup with the GPGM series: the GPGM3 series (13.4 SEER2, single-stage scroll compressor) and GPGM5 series (15.2 SEER2, two-stage scroll compressor), with configurations including 3.5 ton 80K BTU single-stage models, 2.5 ton 80K BTU two-stage models, 3 ton 60K BTU options, and 5 ton 80K to 120K BTU options, all using R32 refrigerant. ACiQ rounds out the residential offerings with the PGB series across both R32 and R-454B refrigerant platforms, including a 3 ton 13.4 SEER2 90,000 BTU R-454B model. Units ship with multi-speed ECM blower motors and downflow or horizontal airflow configurations matching common ductwork orientations. Gas package unit prices reflect the value play these systems represent: a complete heating and cooling system in one cabinet, with no separate furnace purchase.
