Small footprint. Big performance. Get the best of both worlds with self-contained systems.

AAON self-contained systems give you a compact solution without compromise. Easy to install and maintain, self-contained systems deliver on superior performance while saving space. 

AAON offers versatile self-contained system solutions that can meet the needs of any space. Experience the ultimate in construction, technology, and efficiency that meets your budget. 

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

  • Overview

    A self-contained system is an HVAC system that contains all of the necessary components for heating, cooling, and ventilation in a single unit that is designed to be installed in a single space. These systems are typically used in small to medium-sized buildings where the building footprint is limited, and a centralized HVAC system may not be practical or cost-effective.

    AAON self-contained systems are easy to install and maintain, and provide a high level of energy efficiency and comfort. They are also flexible, as they can be easily relocated or replaced as needed, and can be designed to fit a variety of building layouts.

  • High-Level Specifications

    AAON self-contained systems provide the ultimate in construction, technology, and efficiency. With industry-leading quality, you can expect superior energy savings, accessible maintenance and reliability. 

    Key features and specifications: 

    AAON SA & SB Series - The SA & SB series include self-contained units and indoor air handling units lead the industry in construction, technology, and efficiency. With isolated compressor vestibules and compact design, this series comes with a variety of functional options: 

    • Option for Energy Recovery in SB (3-18T)
    • Option for Cooling only or  Water Source Heat Pump (WSHP)
    • Optional hot gas reheat coil
    • Waterside economizer available in some models

    AAON M2 Series - The M2 Modular Indoor Air Handling units utilize quality construction to provide low air leakage, minimal radiated noise, and serviceability. The modular cabinet design adapts to complex engineering challenges, while remaining easy to install and service. This modular air handler can ship assembled or disassembled in modules for moving into freight elevators or hallways. 

    • Available Water Source Heat Pump (WSHP) of up to 70 Tons
    • Hot water or steam heating available
    • Chilled water or DX and optional hot gas reheat coil with DX
    • Configurable filter options
  • Considerations

    When it comes to selecting self-contained systems, there are a number of things consider, including: 

    • Capacity: Determine the heating and cooling requirements of the space where the self-contained system will be installed, and ensure that the unit's capacity is sufficient to meet those requirements.
    • Sound Levels: Consider the sound levels of the self-contained system, especially if it will be installed in a residential or office building, where sound can be a significant factor.
    • Maintenance Requirements: Understand the maintenance requirements of the self-contained system, including filter changes, coil cleaning, and lubrication, and ensure that they can be easily performed by building maintenance personnel.
  • Testing & Quality Control

    We’re not just about saying we’re the best. We’re about proving it to ourselves and the industry with thorough testing, robust quality control measures and certifications.

    • Tested to stand the test of time. With our very own state of the art research & development lab we can conduct research, product development, and testing of new and existing products. Our R&D facility allows us to test to AHRI standards as well as more extreme conditions than certification testing standards or our competitors can perform.
    • Committed to quality. Our dedication to our customers, compliance with regulatory requirements, and commitment to stakeholders are the greatest incentives to our quality goals. Every product goes through thorough inspection, testing and final inspection.
    • Certifiably cool. Many of our products meet certification standards of the governing body for the HVAC industry, the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI).
  • Serviceability

    AAON units are designed with features that make it easier to save time and money.

    • Designed with access in mind. AAON units are designed with full length hinge doors as opposed to removable panels with sheet metal screws that can be easily lost or stripped out over time.
    • Proactive troubleshooting. Troubleshooting wiring is a common first step in identifying issues. AAON provides full color complete wiring diagrams laminated inside each unit. No more black and white diagrams that don't help diagnose the problem.
    • We're about getting the job done.  AAON provides every technician comprehensive support with a dedicated Service & Tech Support team. 
  • Warranty

    We’re here to help protect your investment.  Get peace of mind with warranty programs that ensure your unit is built to last. 

    • The Limited Warranty is effective for 12 months from the date of original installation, or 18 months from the date of original shipment from the factory, whichever occurs first.
    • Compressors in these products are covered for 12 months from the date of shipment from the factory.
    • Optional 5-Year Extended Limited Warranties are available for purchase.
