Pro Ace Heating and Air Conditioning: Trane Ductless Air Conditioning System Advantages

What are the advantages of a Trane Ductless System?

In general, ductless Air Conditioning Systems have several advantages.  Since they do not require ducting, they can be used wherever there is no existing ducting.  They can be used in apartments, townhouses, offices and commercial properties.  They are a good solution for houses with boilers as a heating system or apartments with electronic baseboard heaters.  Trane and Mitsubishi are sold by Trane suppliers in the U.S.A.  Pro Ace Heating and Air Conditioning recommends Trane ductless systems because of their technology, efficiency, noise level and technical support. Trane outdoor heat pumps are constructed from galvanized steel which resists damage, rust and wear-and-tear.  The units automatically defrost, which improves overall operational efficiency in both heating and cooling, and also saves energy.  Trane units utilize a brushless compressor which saves energy and increases overall efficiency.  They also have feedback sensors which shut down the compressor in the event of a malfunction. The Trane ductless heat pumps have one outdoor unit with as many as five indoor heads attached.  Each zone can be controlled independently but they all have to be in the same mode (either cooling or heating modes).

Pro Ace Heating and Air Conditioning Trane ductless installation procedure.

– Ductless systems comprise two parts, the condenser that is installed outside and the wall mount unit that is installed inside.  Normally we place the condenser on the balcony and run a line set (pipes) and electrical wire to the indoor unit.

– The technician will drill a 2-3 inch hole for the line set and the wire. The hole will be sealed and covered to avoid damage and leakage.

– The technician will provide power to the outdoor unit.  Usually they will run a new wire from the electrical panel, which is 208/230 volt.
