Because a packaged unit sits outside year round, sun, salt air, and dust take a toll on coils, cabinets, and electrical parts. Small issues can quickly become a loss of both heating and cooling. Max Air HVAC helps San Diego county homeowners & business owners keep packaged units running with honest diagnostics, efficient replacements, and seasonal tune-ups that protect performance and extend system life.

FAQ

Packaged HVAC Questions & Answers

Here are answers to the packaged HVAC questions San Diego county homeowners & business owners ask most, from what a packaged unit is to repair costs, replacement options, and maintenance.
max-air-hvac-serice-truck-servicing-san-diego-homeowners@3x

What is a packaged HVAC unit?

A packaged unit combines heating and cooling components in one cabinet that sits outside the building, usually on a roof, slab, or side yard. It connects to your ductwork and frees up indoor space compared to a split system.

How much does packaged unit repair cost in San Diego?

Every packaged unit repair starts with an $85 diagnostic visit, which is credited toward your repair when you move forward. After the diagnostic, you get a written quote based on the part or issue we find, so there are no surprises.

How much does a new packaged HVAC unit cost?

Cost depends on size, efficiency, whether it is gas/electric or heat pump, and installation needs like curb adapters or crane access. Max Air HVAC offers free estimates, and financing starts at $74/mo for qualified homeowners.

Should I replace my packaged unit with a split system?

Sometimes. If you have space for an indoor air handler or furnace, a split system can offer more equipment options. If space is tight, a new packaged unit is often the simplest upgrade. Max Air HVAC will walk you through both.

How long does a packaged HVAC unit last?

Most packaged units last around 12 to 18 years depending on maintenance and exposure to sun and coastal air. Regular tune-ups and coil cleaning help them reach the longer end of that range.

How often should a packaged unit be serviced?

Twice a year is ideal, once before cooling season and once before heating season, since one cabinet handles both. At minimum, schedule an annual tune-up.
