Trane Package Gas Electric
Trane package gas electric systems (also known as gas packs, gas/electric packaged units, or rooftop units) combine an air conditioner and gas furnace in a single outdoor cabinet. These all-in-one units are commonly installed on a rooftop or concrete pad beside the home, with ductwork connecting directly to your living space.
Gas packs are designed for homes where space constraints make a split system impractical, or for replacing an existing rooftop unit (RTU). They're common in mobile and manufactured homes, older Arizona homes built with rooftop HVAC, and commercial-residential crossover applications. Trane offers two options: the Choice 14 and the Priority 15.

Understanding the difference between single-stage, multi-stage, and variable-speed is one of the most important decisions when choosing a new system.
Read Our Compressor GuideOur Expert Recommendation
If you need a gas electric package unit, the Priority 15 is the better investment for its two-stage cooling. However, we generally recommend a package heat pump over gas electric in Arizona, since heat pumps are more efficient for our mild winters. If you can accommodate a split system, that's the best option of all.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Trane Package Gas Electric systems answered by our team.
Ask Us DirectlyA package heat pump (sometimes called an electric package unit) uses the same refrigerant system for both cooling and heating. A gas pack (gas electric package unit) uses an air conditioner for cooling and a separate gas furnace for heating. In Arizona, the heat pump version is generally more efficient since our winters are mild, but a gas pack makes sense if you already have gas service and prefer gas heating.
In many cases, yes. Converting from a rooftop gas pack to a ground-level split system requires new refrigerant lines, an indoor air handler location, and ductwork modifications. It's a bigger project, but the improved efficiency and comfort options can make it worthwhile. We can assess your home and let you know what's involved.
RTU stands for Rooftop Unit. It's another name for a package system (either heat pump or gas electric) that's installed on the roof. In residential Arizona, RTUs are common on older homes, mobile homes, and some newer construction. Trane's package gas electric systems can be installed as rooftop units or on a ground-level pad.
