When your Trane air conditioner or heat pump isn't cooling properly:
Refrigerant leaks may require professional detection and repair
Dirty condenser coils can restrict heat transfer
Capacitor or contactor failures prevent proper operation
Fan motor issues affect airflow and cooling capacity
Frozen evaporator coils indicate airflow restrictions or refrigerant problems
Many cooling issues stem from maintenance-related concerns that regular service can prevent.
For furnace or heating function problems:
Ignition or pilot control malfunctions prevent heating
Limit switch failures may indicate airflow problems
Heat exchanger cracks create safety concerns requiring immediate attention
Blower motor issues affect air distribution
Thermostat communication problems lead to inefficient operation
Annual professional HVAC maintenance and inspection can identify potential heating issues before they lead to system failure.
When air isn't flowing properly through your home:
Ductwork leaks waste energy and reduce comfort
Blower motor or capacitor problems affect air movement

A condenser is a component of HVAC and refrigeration systems, responsible for releasing absorbed heat from the refrigerant into the outside air or a water line, thus facilitating the cooling process.
A capacitor in an AC unit is an electrical component that stores and releases electrical energy to help start the motor and stabilize the voltage during operation.
ENERGY STAR appliances are energy-efficient products that meet the strict energy efficiency specifications set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the U.S. Department of Energy. These appliances are designed to use less energy and water, leading to cost savings and a reduced environmental impact.
The 608 Certification, mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is required for HVAC technicians to legally handle refrigerants. It ensures technicians understand refrigerant types, environmental impact, and proper handling techniques.
