Every homeowner should know how to spot serious trouble and know when to call an expert for help. Follow these helpful tips to get the most out of your heat pump and save on energy.
You should have a Trane Comfort Specialist™ examine your packaged system at least once a year, preferably twice before heating and cooling season. Your local dealer will follow a packaged system preventative maintenance checklist to insure the health of your unit.
While most packaged system preventative maintenance should be performed by an HVAC expert, there are a few basic maintenance tasks you can perform without the help of your local dealer – assuming of course your unit is installed at ground level.
Packaged systems are an all-in-one HVAC solution perfect for homes where space is limited. A packaged HVAC system has all your heating and cooling components housed in one single cabinet. They’re usually located on the roof or in a garage. Packaged systems can be configured several ways based on your needs. Trane packaged systems include:
A packaged air conditioner contains an air conditioner and an air handler. Heat strips can be added for extra comfort. It’s a good option in the Southwest where temperatures rarely dip below freezing.
Packaged heat pump systems offer an all electric heating and cooling solution that is very energy efficient as well as emission free - making it an environmentally friendly and budget friendly product. A good option for homes in the South or wherever temps rarely fall below zero.
A packaged dual fuel system is a great option if you want the benefits of having a heat pump but temperatures frequently drop below 25°F. It includes a gas furnace that kicks in only in very cold weather so you don’t use as much gas.
A packaged gas electric system is an all-in-one solution that combines an air conditioner, coil and gas furnace. Perfect for homes that want gas heating power but have limited space.
Here a few common problems and quick fixes to try if your packaged system isn’t working properly.
