A package HVAC unit combines multiple units, such as an air conditioner and heater, into a single unit. The unit is usually placed outside. Split systems, on the other hand, divide each system into its own unit, so your heater and air conditioner are separate.
A modulating or variable-stage HVAC unit is a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system that continuously adjusts its output to precisely match the heating or cooling demands of your home. It offers a wide range of output levels, making it highly efficient and capable of maintaining consistent indoor comfort while minimizing energy consumption.
A two-stage (dual-stage) HVAC unit is a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system that offers two levels of output—usually a high and a low stage. It can operate at a lower, energy-efficient setting for milder weather and automatically switch to a higher stage for extreme temperatures. This results in better energy efficiency, improved comfort control, and reduced wear and tear on the system.
A single-stage HVAC unit is a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system that operates at a fixed output level. It has one setting for cooling or heating, meaning it runs at full capacity whenever it’s on. While simple and cost-effective, it may be less energy-efficient and precise compared to two-stage or variable-speed units.

The cost varies based on the size, brand, installation complexity, and the efficiency of the unit. Hansen Family offers upfront, transparent HVAC pricing online. Just fill out your home’s information and get real-time pricing with no hidden fees.
If your AC unit is over ten years old, requires frequent repairs, and has a reduced efficiency, it might be more cost-effective to replace it. New units are generally more energy-efficient, which could lead to savings in the long run.
Warranties vary by manufacturer. Most offer a general parts warranty for several years, and some components, like the compressor, may have extended coverage. Always read and understand the warranty terms, and consider the reputation of the brand when it comes to honoring their warranties.
