MagicPak All-In-One® HVAC Systems provide greater simplicity at every step of construction. They minimize trade conflict and simplify scheduling, helping to slash weeks out of construction schedules. When deadlines are critical, MagicPak® helps bring buildings to occupancy faster and at lower cost.
MagicPak's all-in-one design means engineers no longer need to specify many of the other parts that come along with traditional split system heating and cooling solutions. Chaseways aren't needed, nor are basepads, external utility connections, disconnects, and allowances for refrigerant lines.
Slash Construction Schedules With Faster Installation
MagicPak units are faster and easier to install than conventional systems, leading to less trade conflict that
can potentially slash weeks out of your construction schedule.
Save up to 1.5 hours3 per unit
Save up to 2 hours3 per unit
No specialty trades to run additional gas, water or refrigerant lines
Can help cut weeks out of your total construction schedule3
As the leading HVAC solution for multifamily properties, MagicPak delivers benefits across the life of the building. That includes maintenance benefits like access from each residential unit, eliminating potential leak points in the building and easing access for repairs and replacement.
Save Tens of Thousands of dollars in repair and maintenance costs over a 20-year period4
Simpler maintenance with easy front access to all repairable parts
Virtually no exposure to the elements means reduced system wear4
Protects the building envelope and reduces risk of damage from leak points4
Since every MagicPak unit is self-contained, there is no variance in electrical supply or other utility connections, regardless of the floor on which it is installed. No allowances need to be made on condensing units due to long line sets and loss of heat transfer to accommodate higher floors.
The minimal 3’ x 3’ footprint of each MagicPak unit helps architects maximize interior floor space and outside square footage for their building. Plus, units are all individually metered so that residents can exercise total control over their indoor environment.
Optimized For Multifamily
The MagicPak M-Series™ offers reliable heating and cooling, combined with flexibility in design and installation, service and comfort. M-Series units have a smaller louver than other like units and are easily customizable to blend in with the building's facade.
Explore M-SeriesMore than 55 years ago, the first MagicPak unit revolutionized multifamily heating and cooling when it was introduced. Since then, the technology has been updated, but the dimensions and simplicity of the original MagicPak unit remains in our standard and highly efficiency V-Series™ models.
Explore V-SeriesBecause they reduce equipment on the rooftop, MagicPak All-In-One HVAC systems allow your clients to open up more space in the building for value-added amenities. Plus, they are available in a range of options including electric, gas, and heat pump heating and cooling for any climate.
MagicPak louvers are designed to protect each unit from the elements. With numerous paint options, including custom matching and a range of finishes, there’s an available option for nearly any unit. And for those architectural designs that need a special solution, our team of engineers are ready with the expertise, specification details and support to help engineer a custom solution for your design.5

"The MagicPak® M-SeriesTM allows us to schedule our trades to get in very efficiently. And for us, building an apartment building with several hundred units, being able to stay on that schedule is extremely important."
Saint Paul, Minnesota
“In Minnesota it’s negative 15 degrees. They don’t have to go up there [on the roof] and do service on a unit. All the components are accessible through somebody’s apartment, which is a huge plus.”
“By choosing MagicPak, we unlocked the ability to use the space on the top floor and gave the tenants of this building a unique space that I think is one of the best in the city.”
“I think we’re all pretty proud of what we were able to achieve with MagicPak and grateful that they were such good partners.”
“I would definitely recommend MagicPak to other mechanical contractors and developers.”
“Having a consistent footprint for every unit made the installation process go really smoothly. I would absolutely use MagicPak for future projects.”
“The MagicPak MGE unit is a commercial-grade product, and it shows in its construction…It’s a well-made, quality, quiet unit that does what it’s supposed to do.”
