Things to Consider When Hiring a Packaged Unit
Cooling Capacity & Airflow Requirements
Packaged units are designed for high-volume cooling, but the right size depends on:
- Total heat load
- Occupancy levels
- Machinery or equipment generating heat
- Required airflow and static pressure
A proper assessment ensures the unit delivers stable, efficient performance.
Space & Application Type
Different environments demand different configurations. Consider whether the space is:
- A warehouse or logistics facility
- A manufacturing or industrial site
- A marquee or temporary structure
- A retail or commercial environment
Each setting influences ducting, airflow, and installation method.
Power Availability
Packaged units require significant power. Check:
- Available supply (voltage & amperage)
- Distance to distribution boards
- Need for temporary power or generators
- Load balancing across circuits
Active Air can supply full power distribution if required.
Access & Installation Logistics
Packaged units are large, so access matters. Think about:
- Crane or forklift access
- Loading zones
- Roof access (if rooftop installation is needed)
- After-hours or weekend installation
- Site inductions and WHS requirements
Smooth logistics mean faster, safer installation.
Ducting & Air Delivery
Packaged units can be free-blow or ducted. Consider:
- Length of duct runs
- Number of outlets required
- Airflow direction and distribution
- Noise considerations in customer-facing areas
Correct airflow design ensures even, effective cooling.
Noise Levels
While packaged units are efficient, they can be louder than split systems or VRFs. Assess:
- Proximity to staff or customers
- Noise-sensitive environments
- Whether ducting can redirect airflow away from occupied areas
Active Air can recommend the quietest configuration for your site.
Duration of Hire
Short-term emergency? Long-term project? Seasonal support? Hire duration affects:
- Unit selection
- Service intervals
- Pricing structure
- Monitoring requirements
We tailor solutions for days, weeks, or months.
Environmental Conditions
Packaged units must be matched to the environment. Consider:
- Indoor vs outdoor placement
- Exposure to weather
- Dust, fumes, or contaminants
- Ventilation requirements
We design systems that perform reliably in real-world conditions.
