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• Inefficient or outdated PTAC models driving up energy costs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• Outdated or discontinued PTAC models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.
