Winter PTAC Maintenance & Installation: Keeping Buildings Comfortable All Season Long

When winter temperatures drop across the Chicago area, heating systems are pushed into constant operation; especially PTAC units (Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners) commonly used in apartments, hotels, senior living communities, and commercial buildings. While PTAC systems are designed for year-round use, winter is often when performance issues, airflow problems, and aging equipment become impossible to ignore.
At All Pro Air Duct Cleaning, we specialize in PTAC cleaning, maintenance, and professional PTAC installation for property managers and building owners throughout Chicagoland.
Why PTAC Units Struggle During Chicago Winters
PTAC units provide individual temperature control for each room or unit, but that convenience comes with maintenance responsibilities. During winter, PTAC systems often run for long periods, which can expose hidden issues such as:
Dust-clogged coils and blower assemblies
Restricted airflow from dirty internal components
Worn heating elements or failing controls
Aging units that can no longer keep up with demand
Inefficient or outdated PTAC models driving up energy costs
When these problems arise, routine cleaning may not be enough — and PTAC replacement or new installation becomes the smarter long-term solution.
The Role of PTAC Cleaning & Maintenance in Winter Performance
Regular PTAC maintenance is essential for efficient winter heating. Professional cleaning helps:
Improve airflow and heat output
Reduce strain on internal components
Eliminate musty or burning odors
Lower energy consumption
Extend the lifespan of existing PTAC units
At All Pro Air Duct Cleaning, our winter PTAC service includes deep cleaning of coils, blowers, filters, and internal components, along with airflow and operational checks to ensure your system is performing as it should.
When PTAC Installation or Replacement Makes Sense
In many Chicago buildings, PTAC units have been in service for 10–15 years or longer. If your system shows any of the following signs, PTAC installation or replacement may be the best option:
Inconsistent or weak heat output
Frequent breakdowns or service calls
Excessive noise or short cycling
Rising utility costs despite regular maintenance
Outdated or discontinued PTAC models
Modern PTAC units are significantly more energy-efficient, quieter, and better equipped to handle Chicago’s harsh winters.
