With our packaged terminal air conditioner ratings, you can cut through all the sales hype and find value. We have searched the manufacturers' information and, by using our air conditioner repair experience, created our unique system of ratings. It truly is like taking a repairman with you while you shop! We have given you our top pick followed by a complete list of manufacturers and their ratings.
World's Best PTAC:
Our top pick is the Century/Comfort-Aire brands from HEAT CONTROLLER. The RPHE heat pumps feature variable speed blowers and electronic expansion valves for quiet and efficient operation. The units are unique in the fact that the entire unit is not sticking outside the wall as the intake and exhaust is provided to the unit through ducts. This provides a better look from the outside of the building. The units are backed by a very good guarantee.
