PTAC Units

PTAC units (Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner), are unique air conditioning units. They act much like a standard window or wall air conditioning unit but are meant for thru the wall installations. Besides providing you cooling comfort in the hot weather days of summertime, they also provide you heat to warm your surroundings in the cold winter days.

These units are not meant for every application where a window or wall unit can go, there are many reasons for that, one such being they require more work for installation and are a permanent fixture to the house. With a window air conditioning unit all you need to do is open the window and remove the air conditioner, with a PTAC you invest in opening a hole into the wall for the sleeve.

PTAC units also do not come in as many varied BTU sizes as window or wall air conditioners do.

Both styles of air conditioning units work with the same basic parts and both air conditioning units require the same maintenance of the filter. PTAC units are generally larger, more expensive, and require specialized care. When the PTAC does need repair this is where we come in, we have a crew of professional servicemen who only work on PTAC units, this is their skilled specialty.

Our crew of professional servicemen will come to your home and diagnose all functions of the unit. Doing this will ensure you the peace of mind that the unit will be repaired correctly, they will explain to you what needs to be done, what the cost will be and when you can expect a proper working PTAC returned to you.

We here at Abbey Service West are happy to say that most of the requests for service on PTAC's only require the unit to undergo a deep steam cleaning process. This single procedure usually rectifies the ailments of the PTAC and returns it to factory standards.

We commonly work on popular brands such as McQuay, Islandaire, Ice-Cap, Ice-Air and Surburban.
