Installation, Repair & Maintenance — Broward & Palm Beach Counties
A packaged unit contains all components — compressor, condenser, evaporator coil, and air handler — in one weatherproof cabinet installed outside. Compare that to a split system, which divides those components between an outdoor condenser and an indoor air handler.
With a packaged unit, refrigerant lines, electrical connections, and ductwork all terminate at one location, simplifying both installation and future service. Packaged systems come in heat pump, electric/electric, and gas/electric configurations. In South Florida, heat pumps and electric/electric setups cover the vast majority of commercial applications.
Default for South Florida's flat-roof buildings — retail centers, restaurants, warehouses, and low-rise offices. Units mount on a roof curb, tie into ductwork below, and stay clear of ground-level activity.
RTU installation requires crane or rigging coordination, which we handle directly. All installations meet Florida Building Code wind load and hurricane standards.
Learn about Commercial RTUs →The practical alternative when a roof can't support RTU weight, access is restricted, or the lease limits roof penetrations. Units sit on a concrete pad and connect to ductwork through an exterior wall.
Easier service access than rooftop equipment. Trade-offs include ground footprint and, in some settings, a secured perimeter. We evaluate both options on-site based on structural capacity, budget, and serviceability.
Getting the size right matters more than most business owners expect. An undersized unit runs constantly and fails early, while an oversized unit short-cycles and leaves persistent humidity problems behind. We run a load calculation before recommending any equipment.
| Unit Size | Typical Application |
|---|---|
| 3 – 5 Ton | Small retail, offices, suites |
| 7.5 – 10 Ton | Mid-size restaurants, medical suites |
| 12.5 – 20 Ton | Large retail, open-plan offices |
| 25+ Ton | Warehouses, light industrial |
Sizing depends on square footage, ceiling height, occupancy, insulation, and building use — not square footage alone.
Schedule a Load CalculationThe starting point. Higher ceilings mean more air volume to condition — a warehouse and an office of the same footprint need very different units.
A restaurant kitchen generates far more heat than an office of the same size. Occupancy density affects both load and ventilation requirements.
South-facing glass in South Florida adds significant heat load during peak afternoon hours. Older buildings with minimal insulation require more capacity.
Humidity, salt air, and near-constant runtime distinguish South Florida from most of the country — and affect which systems last longest here.
Our technicians work across all major commercial packaged unit manufacturers and stock parts for most brands.
3 – 25 Tons
Economizer-capable with demand-controlled ventilation. Performs reliably in South Florida's high-humidity conditions.
3 – 25+ Tons
Precedent covers smaller retail and restaurant spaces. Voyager handles larger light commercial buildings with BAS compatibility.
3 – 10 Tons
Cost-effective for strip mall retail and small restaurants where installation speed and equipment cost are both priorities.
Rooftop & Ground-Level
Lower equipment cost with parts widely stocked across Broward and Palm Beach counties. Available in rooftop and ground-level configurations.
3 – 25 Tons
Optional economizer and demand-controlled ventilation. Common in light industrial facilities and medical plazas across South Florida.

View Maintenance PlansThe unit is on but not keeping up — could indicate a failing compressor, low refrigerant, or a dirty coil restricting heat transfer.
A sign of severely restricted airflow or low refrigerant charge. Running in this condition risks compressor damage and an expensive repair.
Almost always a clogged condensate drain. Left unchecked, it causes water damage and mold growth inside the cabinet and adjacent ductwork.
Loose components, a failing blower motor, or a refrigerant leak — all require a technician before the next startup.
The unit turns on and off without completing a full run. Strains the compressor significantly and leaves humidity problems unresolved throughout the space.
With no change in occupancy or hours — the unit is working harder than it should. Usually points to a refrigerant issue, dirty coils, or aging components.
Could be a calibration issue or a sign of a deeper electrical fault. Don't ignore unresponsive controls — they affect the whole building.

Most commercial packaged units last 12 to 15 years under regular maintenance. South Florida's heat, humidity, and salt air accelerate wear on outdoor components, so annual inspections and coil cleanings matter more here than in most climates.
Yes. Packaged systems are available in heat pump, electric/electric, and gas/electric configurations. For most South Florida commercial buildings, heat pumps and electric/electric setups cover everything the climate requires without the added complexity of a gas furnace.
The unit sits on a concrete pad outside the building and connects to ductwork through an exterior wall. Footprint varies by tonnage, but most commercial ground-level units are compact enough to fit alongside the building without significantly impacting parking or exterior space. We assess placement during the site visit.
They are often a good fit, particularly when the lease restricts roof penetrations or modifications. A ground-level packaged unit avoids roof work entirely, which can simplify lease compliance and reduce restoration obligations at the end of a term.
We carry common components for the brands we install and service. For less common parts, we source through our supplier network. Most repairs are completed in a single visit, and we communicate lead times upfront if a part needs to be ordered.
A packaged unit is the broader category — it simply means all components are in one cabinet. A rooftop unit (RTU) is a packaged unit installed on the roof. Ground-level packaged units use the same all-in-one design but mount on a concrete pad instead. Same equipment concept, different placement.
