When you’re searching for the best PTAC unit for your particular application, the most important consideration to start with is sizing the unit for your space. While there are general guidelines based on square footage for how many BTUs the unit will need to churn out, other factors to be aware of can impact system reliability, energy efficiency, and performance for end-users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this section, we’ll unpack a range of factors you’ll want to research when shopping for a new or refurbished PTAC unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you start shopping for PTAC units, the first step is determining the square footage of the room you’re installing the unit in. This figure will determine how many BTUs the unit will need to efficiently cool or heat the space. The larger the room, the more BTUs you will need\u2014otherwise, the unit will be overworked and use more energy with less impact on room temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A good place to start is by multiplying the square footage of the room you’re installing the PTAC unit in by 30 times. So, if you have a 300 square foot room, you would want to start with a 9,000 BTU PTAC unit and work from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finding the right balance of heating and cooling power for your space will ensure you have an efficient unit that reliably maintains a comfortable room all year long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next most important factor is whether or not the room will experience extreme temperatures, either hot or cold. Note, PTAC units can have different BTU ratings for heating and cooling functions, so check the detailed specifications of the unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, a Midea PTAC unit may have 9,000 cooling BTUs but 10,900 heating BTUs, making it an excellent option for those in moderate climates with slightly harsher winters than summers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be sure your unit is well-suited for the particular temperature ranges your area experiences, most commonly with some room to spare. It’s far better to get a little higher-BTU unit that won’t have to struggle to maintain your desired temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you intend to use the PTAC as a primary heat source, you should concentrate your search on units that have an electric heat pump. Conversely, if you live in a region where the weather is almost never chilly, you can save money by purchasing a PTAC unit that only offers cooling functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s good to keep in mind the BTU possibilities of a PTAC are limited by certain electrical factors. One of these factors is the available amperage of your electrical service in the room. The lower the amperage your outlet can deliver, the lower BTUs you’ll be able to get from a PTAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The available amp supply will range between 15, 20, or 30 amps. Suppose your calculations indicate you need higher output than your electric service provides. In that case, an electrician may be able to upgrade it, so check with an electrician first before assuming you can’t get the perfectly-sized PTAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PTAC units operate in voltages ranging from 208 to 277. Examining your available wall outlet will help you determine what voltage unit you’ll need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When PTAC units are cooling a room, they can produce a steady flow of condensate that needs to drain away from the building. Ensuring the wall sleeve is properly installed will help facilitate proper drainage to prevent damage to interiors and internal wall structures. Also, a clean installation of the wall sleeve will provide an air and water-tight seal from the outside elements, helping ensure better energy efficiency overall and cutting down on drafts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are a handful of essential elements of wall sleeve installation that, when done correctly, will ensure a perfect weather seal and adequate drainage for the PTAC unit once it’s placed in the sleeve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, suppose the wall sleeve isn’t sloped correctly. In that case, you could wind up having drainage from the PTAC coming back into the interior, causing damage to the wall materials and potentially mold buildup if left unresolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This section will cover the crucial elements for installing the wall sleeve for your PTAC unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drain Kit<\/strong> – With most wall sleeves, an indoor\/outdoor drain kit is available as an accessory item. When your application necessitates the installation of a drain kit, you’ll need to do so before placing the wall sleeve into the wall opening. Also, be sure to fully read the drain kit installation instructions for the details specific to your application, as there can be variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clearances<\/strong> – Another crucial element is the clearances between surrounding objects and the PTAC unit. The wall sleeve will need to be installed with minimum clearances to the floor and adjacent walls. There are also minimum projections of the sleeve into and out of the room that will also have to be met. Check the schematics with the sleeve instructions for exact measurements and requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lintels<\/strong> – When installing your PTAC in a concrete or masonry wall, a lintel must be added into the wall opening for support. You must never use the wall sleeve itself as a lintel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Correct Mounting Screw Location<\/strong> – The person installing the wall sleeve will need to determine and source the specific mounting bolts and\/or screws best suited for attaching the wall sleeve to the sides of the wall opening. Also, be sure that the wall opening is adequate for strong support of the PTAC unit. And lastly, be sure to never drill through the bottom of the sleeve!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sealing And Insulating<\/strong> – Adequate sealing and insulation around the sleeve after it is installed is critical to prevent the intrusion of outside elements and pests while helping facilitate better energy efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inserting The Sleeve Into The Wall<\/strong> – When sliding the wall sleeve into the wall opening it’s important to never distort the cabinet shape to fit into the wall opening. The PTAC unit chassis will fit snugly and uniformly into the wall sleeve, so if there is any distortion of the sleeve, the PTAC unit won’t be able to slide in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, when installed in the wall opening, the sleeve must be horizontally level from side to side and pitched one-quarter bubble in the sight glass to the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Internal Drain Kit Units<\/strong> – If your sleeve is using an internal drain kit, the sleeve should be level from front to back to ensure proper drainage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most important steps when buying a PTAC unit is ensuring you match the available power configuration in your building with the unit you plan to purchase. There are some key electrical details that must be identical for the unit to work, and the type of plug will be a factor as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many PTAC units ship with a cord, but some don’t, so it’s critical to check you’re getting the proper cord to match the electrical outlet in the room. Not all cords can be used for all PTACs, so check the specifications when ordering to be sure the PTAC, Cord, and Power Outlet all match up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this section, we\u2019ll cover the essential electrical information you need to be certain of when purchasing a PTAC unit. First, let\u2019s examine the two most important numbers to look for to prevent any complications when selecting the perfect PTAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amperage is the volume of energy that a PTAC unit can draw. The higher the amperage, the more energy the unit will consume. Amperage ratings for PTAC units range from 15 to 30 amps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s essential for the amperage of the unit to match the available electrical outlet, so check this number first when buying a PTAC. Some PTACs have universal amperage capabilities, in which case the output will somewhat be determined by the amp load provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The voltage of the PTAC unit must also be matched to the available electrical service in the building. Voltage can range from 208 volts for residential or commercial applications and up to 277 volts for some commercial applications. Voltage also has an effect on the output of the unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you’ve got your PTAC unit search results narrowed down to the correct amperage and voltage numbers, you’ll want to check the details on the power cord in relation to your power outlet. Not all PTAC units come with a cord, so you’ll want to check that before finalizing your order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the unit does come with a cord, check to be sure the plug style matches the available power outlet in the room you’re installing the unit in. Plug styles range from NEMA 7-15 to NEMA 7-30 and NEMA 6-15 to 6-30, with the final number indicating the amperage rating of the plug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NEMA 7 style plugs are rated for up to 277 volts (some commercial applications), while NEMA 6 style plugs are rated up to 230 volts (residential and commercial applications).<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are also universal-amperage PTAC units on the market, which allow any amp-rating connection to be used. If you buy one of these units, you\u2019ll only need to match the power cord to your power outlet, wire the cord to the unit, and you\u2019ll be ready to use it! The voltage provided by your building will largely dictate the unit and cord you need to buy\u2014either 208-230 volts or 265-277 volts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aside from power cords and drain kits, you may need to order a wall sleeve and grille for your PTAC unit. Both the wall sleeve and the grille are essential components that must be installed on every PTAC unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These components need to be in place for your PTAC unit to function properly and deliver reliable service without causing any damage to the interior or exterior wall materials. A quality installation job involves proper sealing of the unit in the wall opening, and the wall sleeve is a required component for this job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The grille is also essential, as it blocks the elements, debris, and wildlife from the mechanical bay of the PTAC. Ensuring you have a properly installed grill will help provide a trouble-free experience for many years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re installing a PTAC in a room that’s just been built, the first step is preparing an opening in the wall that matches the standard PTAC wall sleeve dimensions (42″x16″). Also, be sure that the installation location provides the correct clearances around the unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, you’ll need to install the wall sleeve according to how the unit will drain. For external drainage, the unit will need to be angled toward the outside by a quarter-bubble on a level. For internal drainage, the sleeve will need to be level with the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, to ensure a proper seal, you’ll need to install a lentil, insulating material and a final seal around the outside of the wall sleeve. These steps will provide a weather-tight seal that gives you the best energy-efficiency possible and prevent the intrusion of pests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you already have a PTAC unit that needs replacement, there’s a good chance you won’t have to fuss with buying and installing a new wall sleeve and\/or grille.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Often, the grille on an existing PTAC will still be intact and able to provide adequate protection for the new unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Still, be sure to inspect the grille before ordering your PTAC, especially for lower-level units that may suffer damage from lawn care equipment, vandalism, or rust from improper drainage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Usually, the wall sleeve will work perfectly for the replacement PTAC unit, making installation a breeze. But like the grille, it’s still a good idea to inspect the wall sleeve for adequate insulation and weather sealing, along with correct drainage specifications. No rust or corrosion should be present on the sleeve itself, and the lintel above the opening on the exterior should still be in place and fully intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In rare cases involving older PTAC unit replacements, wall sleeves may be an irregular depth and require ordering a new sleeve. When you have older units or are unsure of the age, always take measurements of the existing sleeve before you order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The majority of the time, the wall sleeve and grille you have will work with your replacement PTAC, but it’s still always a good idea to double-check the condition of these items before you place your order. Doing so could potentially save on shipping costs, along with project delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When placing the order for your PTAC units, be sure they come with the cord you need because not all brands come with cords from the factory. Even high-quality brands such as GE, Carrier\/Gree, and LG don\u2019t include a power cord with their PTAC units. To some extent, this may be a good thing for your application because it could enable you to buy a PTAC that more precisely matches your desired features at a price you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aside from double-checking that the PTAC you plan on buying comes with a power cord, what other helpful tips should you know about power cords for PTAC units?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The primary limiting factor for any PTAC unit purchase is the available amperage and voltage of your wall outlet in the room you’re installing the unit. These figures will determine what style of plug is installed in the room, with a range of amperages from 15 to 30, starting at 208 voltage units all the way up to 277 voltage units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are 5-6 common plug types for PTACs ranging from NEMA 7-15 to NEMA 7-30 and NEMA 6-15 to 6-30. The first number indicates the voltage rating of the cord, with NEMA 7 style plugs being rated up to 277 volts for commercial outlets and NEMA 6 style plugs being rated up to 230 volts for residential or commercial power outlets. The second number is what denotes the amp rating of the power cord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve found a PTAC with the proper electrical ratings for your power outlet, you\u2019ll want to be sure the cord is the correct model for the PTAC you\u2019re buying if it doesn\u2019t ship with one from the manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you need to buy a cord, one benefit of them being specific to certain models is that installation on the PTAC unit can be simpler, with an easy plug setup like this GE PTAC power cord that doesn\u2019t require any wiring\u2014just click it into the unit and plug it into the wall outlet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s important to only use cords designed for their matching PTAC units, as they\u2019ll have the proper LCDI protection for the amount of power used. This is crucial for fire hazard protection as well as the longevity of the unit itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the PTAC unit you\u2019re buying comes with a cord, check to be sure the plug style both matches your power outlet and is long enough to reach without stretching the power cord tightly. Both the voltage and the amperage must match, or the plug won\u2019t fit into the outlet, as they\u2019ll be entirely different styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note that some universal-amperage PTAC units are available too. These units allow you to connect to any amp-rating connection, so long as the voltage ratings match up. Just be sure to buy the cord that’s specific to the unit and your voltage, and you’ll be set!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you complete your PTAC order, you should always verify you already have the correct sleeve depth and correct exterior grille. If the wall sleeve is too shallow, the unit won’t slide all the way into the sleeve. One example of this would be on older Friedrich or Climatemaster brand units that had shallow sleeves, which necessitate replacing the sleeve with one that will accommodate more modern PTAC units or purchasing a sleeve extension to increase the depth of existing sleeve to fit a new PTAC unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This section will cover some of the potential complications for wall sleeves and grilles that may arise during installation. The good news is, being aware of these possibilities can help you be fully prepared to prevent any delays in the installation or maintenance issues later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both the wall sleeve and the grille are essential components that must be installed on every PTAC unit for it to work properly and provide reliable service without causing any damage to the building or suffering from damage from the outside world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wall sleeves serve the important role of sealing the wall surrounding the unit, keeping moisture and pests out, and grilles help block weather, plant materials, and nesting animals from getting inside the mechanical bay of the PTAC. Ensuring your grille is correct for your PTAC will help get the most life from your unit by protecting its components while providing adequate airflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While older wall sleeves may be too shallow, on the other end of the fitment spectrum are wall sleeves that are too deep. Fortunately, deep wall sleeves are an easier problem to solve than replacing the existing sleeve or adding a wall sleeve extension. When the wall sleeve is deeper than required by the replacement PTAC, you can order a baffle kit instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With a baffle kit, you can ensure proper outdoor airflow to prevent the compressor from having overheating issues. It’s vital that units fit snugly next to the exterior grille for this reason. Also, be aware that some non-OEM exterior grilles may require an outdoor air deflector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When your existing PTAC unit needs replacement, there’s a good chance that the existing wall sleeve and grille will work just fine with your new unit as far as fitment goes. But there are other pitfalls to keep an eye out for before you buy your new PTAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before placing your PTAC order, take a few minutes to inspect the grille, especially if the unit is installed in a first-story space that might get damaged by lawn care crews, vandals, or rust and corrosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s also smart to examine the condition of the wall sleeve to ensure it still provides adequate insulation, weather sealing, and drainage of condensation away from the unit. There shouldn’t be any rust or corrosion on the sleeve, and when installed in masonry, the lintel above the sleeve on the exterior should be secure and intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PTAC units that have heating functionality come in two different heating designs\u2014resistive electric heat and a heat pump. These two heating designs can vary considerably in BTU output, which can be a significant deciding factor for those living in extremely cold regions of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this section, we are going to discuss the two types of heating that PTAC units come with, why you may choose one over the other, and what electric service limitations you may encounter when deciding which PTAC to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PTAC units that feature resistive electric heating use heat strips to warm the air when temperatures drop below freezing outside. This can consume a considerable amount of energy and is the less efficient design of the two. If your average winters stay near or below freezing often, a resistive electric unit may not be the most cost-effective unit for you long-term when considering extra energy costs over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In comparison, heat pump PTAC units run the compressor using a reversing valve that moves the hot side of the coils to the inside to warm the air. Heating this way can save up to 60% on electrical consumption over maintaining temperatures using an electric heat strip design alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exterior Temperature Range<\/strong> – PTAC units usually have different BTU ratings for heating than their cooling functions, so be sure to check the detailed specifications of the unit if you live in an area that gets more extremely cold than hot weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your PTAC is a primary heat source in a colder region of the country, you should focus your search on units that have a resistive electric heater. The opposite holds true if you live in a region where the weather is only moderately cold, allowing you to save money by purchasing a PTAC unit with a heat pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Square Footage<\/strong> – After climate considerations, your next criteria for choosing which heating type to use is the square footage of the room you’re heating. This measurement provides a baseline for how many BTUs the unit requires to efficiently heat the room. More space means more BTUs will be needed. Underpowered or even overpowered units will use more energy and won’t do a good job maintaining a consistent room temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What Determines Heating BTU Output?<\/strong> – The BTU output of PTAC units is limited by two main electrical measurements\u2014amperage and voltage. In general, the lower the amperage your outlet provides, the lower heating BTUs you’ll be able to obtain from a PTAC unit with the same type of heating function. That said, heat pumps are more efficient than resistive heating units, so they’ll require less power for the same BTU output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your available amp supply will range from 15 to 30 amps. In extremely cold climates, the higher energy efficiency of heat pump PTAC units can deliver more heating power even when you have a lower-amperage power outlet to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Single PTAC units can have shipping weights approaching 150 pounds, requiring specialized delivery services that go beyond the capabilities of standard carriers like UPS. Shipping goods such as these in small order quantities are classified as LTL freight, which is an acronym for \u201cLess than load\u201d freight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Typically, LTL freight services are contracted when an order for goods doesn\u2019t require a full truckload for shipment. Often, many other separate shipments will be transported on the same truck to keep overall costs down for shippers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you may imagine, shipping freight on trucks in this manner can get costly if you\u2019re only transporting one or two items. In this section, we\u2019re going to cover how you can minimize your shipping costs when buying PTAC units so you can keep your total cost per unit down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The shipping cost for a single PTAC unit is relatively high because they’re so bulky and heavy. If your situation allows, it’s far more cost-effective to plan your purchase around a bulk order of multiple units, preferably a pallet or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PTAC Unit Price: $585.90<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shipping Cost: $186.17<\/p>\n\n\n\n Total Per-Unit Cost: $772.07 Pre-Tax<\/p>\n\n\n\n PTAC Unit Price x5: $2,929.50<\/p>\n\n\n\n Total Shipping Cost: $198.59<\/p>\n\n\n\n Total Per-Unit Cost: $625.62 Pre-Tax<\/p>\n\n\n\n Total Shipping Savings Per Unit:<\/strong> $146.45<\/p>\n\n\n\n Five units is still a relatively small order, but you can see how the savings per unit can add up quickly even at this level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Suppose you\u2019re renovating a hotel or office building to boost the average rates rather than replacing the existing aging PTAC units as they develop issues. In that case, you can save considerable amounts of investment capital by replacing them in bulk. Let\u2019s look at another example, this time with a 20 unit PTAC order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 20 units=$21.18 per unit shipping cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5 units= $39.72 per unit shipping cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 unit= $186.17 per unit shipping cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n Total Shipping Cost Savings On 20 Units:<\/strong> $3,299.80<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only will you save on shipping costs for each unit, but you’ll also gain the peace of mind that you won’t have unexpected maintenance issues. When working to improve the value of a commercial property, one of the primary goals is increasing potential rent rates. By providing a better tenant or guest experience, you improve your ability to command higher rents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the essential ways to deliver superior tenant or guest experiences is by providing a well-controlled climate with minimal noise. When you upgrade the older PTAC units at your property, you can be sure you’re providing quiet, comfortable spaces that earn high ratings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Replacing all of the units can deliver both the maximum shipping savings and the highest-quality user experience possible.
