A packaged terminal air conditioner (often abbreviated PTAC) is a type of self-contained heating and air conditioning system commonly found in hotels and apartment buildings.
Many are designed to go through a wall, having vents and heat sinks both inside and outside. Different standard dimensions are found in the market including 42×16 inches (1067 x 406 mm),[1] 36×15 inches, and 40×15 inches.
Benefits:
Indoor comfort all year – Unitary systems can rapidly remove heat and moisture from indoor air. You simply set the units thermostat to the temperature that you desire and the unit automatically cools to that level. You can manually select fan speed or use the automatic fan speed setting. When you need the room to be heated you use the same basic settings. Just set the thermostat to the temperature you want and select the heating function.
Simple Installation – Unitary systems are easy to install because they come in standard sizes and shapes. Regardless of the heating and cooling load requirements, the unit is the same size. Since both the heating and cooling systems exist inside a single unit, installation is easier than the installation of a split system.
Independent Operation – Unlike split heating and cooling systems which condition whole buildings through the use of ductwork, unitary systems cool and heat only the rooms or spaces where they are installed. This means you cool or heat only what you want with individual temperature control. With multiple unitary systems installed, you can easily control indoor temperature on a room to room basis.
