Package units

Many Phoenix ranch homes have one packaged unit on the roof or on a ground pad, with heating and cooling in the same cabinet. Roof access, lifting and permits shape the job as much as the unit does.

1What to check first

  • Is it on the roof or on the ground? Look from the yard. Do not climb.
  • Gas heat or heat pump? Not sure is fine.
  • Note any changes in noise, airflow or how long it runs.
  • If it has stopped in summer, call instead of waiting.

2What we do

  • Service and repair on the same $99 visit basis.
  • For replacement, plan roof access and any lifting first.
  • Check permit needs and arrange inspection.
  • Commission the new unit and hand over the records.

3What it costs

  • Single-stage packaged replacement: $7,000 to $11,000 (illustrative).
  • Two-stage and variable-speed: quoted onsite.
  • Crane, roof work and permits are additional if required.
  • This is a base budget, not a complete rooftop installed total.

Rooftop package quote, two gaps

Synthetic example: a 12-year-old packaged heat pump on the roof. The written quote stated 10 of 12 scope items; access and lifting, and permit responsibility, went back to the contractor as questions. No verdict on the price.
