Gas Pack Installation and Repair in Asheville, NC
Mountain ready comfort, year round
A gas pack combines a gas furnace and an electric air conditioner into a single outdoor cabinet, providing both heating and cooling without any indoor equipment beyond the ductwork and thermostat. Bullman installs, repairs, and replaces gas packs for homes across the Asheville area that lack a basement, crawl space, or indoor mechanical closet suited to a standard split system, as well as manufactured and modular homes where a gas pack is often the standard equipment choice.

How a Gas Pack Works
All of the mechanical components, the gas burner, heat exchanger, compressor, and coil, sit inside one outdoor unit connected to the home’s ductwork through a single set of supply and return connections. This setup simplifies installation in homes without indoor mechanical space, though it also means the equipment runs exposed to weather year round, which makes routine maintenance more important than it is for equipment with an indoor component.
Gas Pack Installation
Installing a gas pack involves sizing the unit to the home’s heating and cooling load, connecting it to existing ductwork or installing new ductwork if none exists, and running gas and electrical lines to the outdoor cabinet. Bullman confirms proper clearance around the unit and correct venting for the gas furnace side before completing the installation, since improper clearance is a common cause of reduced efficiency and premature wear on gas pack equipment specifically.
Gas Pack Repair
Because a gas pack combines heating and cooling components in one exposed cabinet, repair calls range from refrigerant and electrical issues on the cooling side to burner and ignition problems on the heating side. Bullman diagnoses both systems independently, since a gas pack can lose cooling capacity while the heating side still works normally, or the reverse, depending on which component has failed.
Related Cooling and Heating Options
Homes with an indoor mechanical space that could support a standard split system sometimes have the option to move to air conditioning repair and installation paired with a separate furnace instead of a gas pack. Gas packs are also common on commercial HVAC projects Bullman services, including rental properties and multi unit buildings.

FAQs
How long does a gas pack typically last?
Most gas packs last 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance, similar to a standard split system, though the outdoor exposure can shorten that lifespan if maintenance is skipped. Bullman checks both the heating and cooling sides during each maintenance visit to catch wear before it becomes a failure.
Can a gas pack be replaced with a standard split system instead?
Yes, if the home has or can add indoor space for a furnace, though this usually costs more than replacing the gas pack with another gas pack since it requires new ductwork connections and indoor equipment placement. Bullman reviews both options during a replacement estimate.
Why is my gas pack blowing cold air but not heating?
This points to an issue on the furnace side of the unit, most often the igniter, gas valve, or a safety switch that has tripped, while the cooling side continues to operate normally. Because both systems share one cabinet, Bullman checks the specific failed component rather than assuming the whole unit needs replacement.
Do gas packs need more maintenance than a standard split system?
Gas packs benefit from more frequent attention since the entire unit sits outside and is exposed to weather, dust, and debris year round. An annual maintenance visit that checks both the heating and cooling components catches problems earlier than waiting for a full breakdown.
Are gas packs a good fit for manufactured homes?
Yes, gas packs are standard equipment on many manufactured and modular homes because they eliminate the need for indoor mechanical space, which is often limited in that type of construction. Bullman services gas packs on manufactured homes the same way as any other residential installation.
A gas pack failure can mean losing heating or cooling with no backup system in the home, so Bullman treats gas pack calls as a priority rather than a routine appointment. Scheduling is available online, through 24/7 chat, or by phone, and maintenance plan members move ahead of standard calls when a gas pack needs attention during peak season.
