PTACs are commonly found in commercial settings (hotels, motels, hospitals), or multifamily facilities (senior housing, condominiums, apartment buildings). PTACs are mostly used to cool individual living spaces, there are units which offer resistance heating and/or heat pumps. (The latter are more

PTACs are commonly installed in window walls and masonry walls, with multiple standard dimensions available including 42×16 inches (1067x406 mm), 36x15 inches, and 40x15 inches. Their installation typically requires the following:
