A MagicPak is a self-contained vertical HVAC unit that combines heating and cooling into a single cabinet. Unlike split systems, there's no separate outdoor condenser or furnace. MagicPak units are installed inside mechanical closets or utility rooms and vent directly through the wall. This makes them ideal for multi-family properties, apartments, townhomes, and mixed-use buildings where space and exterior design flexibility are important.
Yes. Modern MagicPak models are built to meet or exceed national efficiency standards. Many feature high SEER ratings (up to 16 SEER for cooling) and efficient gas or electric heating modules. When properly sized and installed, MagicPak systems can deliver reliable year-round comfort with manageable operating costs. For even greater efficiency, electric heat pump models are available as well.
MagicPak is ideal for:
They are especially beneficial in buildings where individual HVAC control per unit is required and where external condenser access is limited or unwanted.
With proper maintenance, MagicPak units can last 12–20 years depending on usage, climate conditions, and maintenance routines. Units operating in high-demand settings may need replacement sooner, while well-maintained systems can last longer. We recommend regular tune-ups and filter changes to maximize performance and longevity.
No—MagicPak systems are designed as fully integrated, self-contained systems, meaning the heating and cooling components share the same housing and ventilation path. When one major component fails or the unit becomes outdated, a full replacement is typically recommended to ensure proper performance and code compliance.
Yes. In addition to gas/electric models, MagicPak offers all-electric heat pump units, which are especially popular in communities focused on reducing natural gas use. RJ's will help you determine whether a gas or electric configuration makes the most sense for your building based on fuel availability, utility rates, and local building codes.
Modern MagicPak systems are significantly quieter than older models and traditional split-system blowers. Units are lined with sound-dampening materials and designed for vertical air distribution, which reduces vibration and airflow noise. Proper closet insulation and door sealing also help mitigate sound.
Yes. MagicPak is designed to offer independent HVAC control for each individual unit, which improves occupant comfort and allows for separate utility billing. This is one of the key advantages for multi-family developers and property owners.
Routine maintenance includes:
RJ's offers maintenance plans that ensure each unit is serviced on schedule and performs efficiently year after year.
Some high-efficiency MagicPak models may qualify for utility rebates through programs like ComEd or Nicor Gas, especially in new construction or when replacing older, inefficient systems. We help our clients navigate local rebate opportunities to reduce project costs.
Installations in new construction projects follow the construction schedule and may take 1–2 hours per unit during the rough-in and set phases. Replacements in existing buildings usually take 4–6 hours per unit, depending on access, wall modifications, or venting upgrades required.
Yes. RJ's frequently installs MagicPak systems in retrofit applications, including older buildings undergoing HVAC upgrades. The key is ensuring there is adequate interior space for the vertical cabinet, as well as proper access for venting, condensate drainage, and electrical or gas connections.
Replacement typically involves:
We handle every phase from removal to restart, ensuring the new system is installed safely and performs as expected.
