Where Packaged Units Excel

  • Manufacturing and industrial sites
  • Events, marquees, and temporary structures
  • Retail and shopping centres
  • Schools, universities, and large classrooms
  • HVAC breakdowns or upgrades
  • Seasonal heat-load increases

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.
