You'd usually run two or more units in a cascade/multiplex when requiring large amounts of power rather than having one giant unit. Means you can turn off one or more units entirely for low heating demand.
Also choosing a unit (or units) that use a speed controlled compressor will limit cycling as they can ramp for the actual load.
