To understand the difference between packaged terminal air conditioning units with resistance heating and those with heat pumps, you need to understand a little bit about how they cool.
A packaged terminal air conditioner, or PTAC, is a ductless, self-contained air conditioning unit that heats and cools contained areas. PTACs are used as a way to cut costs and increase energy efficiency in places like hotels, hospitals, senior residential facilities, apartments and residential add-ons like sunrooms.
There are a total of six air conditioner plug types for PTACs. They’re based on electrical voltage and amperage.
What’s the right size and power for your packaged terminal air conditioner? How do you match a PTAC to the amperage in your hotel? How do you avoid overloading the electrical system?
