• How is a "split system" different from a "package" unit?                                Back

  A split system simply means that the equipment is "split" into two separate indoor and outdoor components.
  
  If you have a furnace inside your home and an air conditioner outside in the yard, you have a split system.
  
  A package unit means your heating and cooling system is self-contained in one outdoor unit. If your ductwork connects directly to your outdoor unit, then you have a package unit.
