For years, the standard in hotel and other commercial HVAC has been the Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner (PTAC) system. A large unit, with both heat and cool options, it is normally found under the windows of the room. While the units are fully capable of providing both options for ventilation, the unit itself takes up valuable square footage and creates window treatment/decorating challenges.
Technology has now taken a huge leap forward with the creation of the Vertical Terminal Air Conditioning (VTAC) system. The VTAC system is a through-the-wall installation, but instead of taking up space in the room, it is hidden inside an enclosure which looks like a closet. The footprint of these units is generally about 24" square. The unit is controlled with a wall thermostat, and some units like the Amana VTH18 are able to be controlled by a central location, like the front desk of your hotel. This allows the unit to be shut down when the room is not in use, saving energy. Units are available in several BTU sizes with either an electric heat strip or a heat pump with electric heat options.
Total Home Supply is now featuring the VTAC lines of Friedrich, Amana and GE, with all the heat/cool variations and available options. If it's time for a new HVAC system for your hotel, assisted living center, office, motel or classroom, the VTAC system is an innovative new option.
