Protect Your Investment with Comprehensive Trane Maintenance

Neglecting your Trane system can lead to decreased efficiency, higher energy bills, and a shortened lifespan. Our dedicated Trane maintenance service is designed to address the specific needs of your unit, delivering tangible benefits that you will notice in your comfort and your budget.

Extend the Lifespan of Your Trane System

A common question homeowners ask is, "What is the life expectancy of a Trane HVAC?" With proper care, Trane systems are built to last, often providing 15 to 20 years or more of reliable service. The single most important factor in reaching and exceeding this lifespan is consistent, professional maintenance. Our tune-ups address minor wear and tear before it can cause a domino effect of damage to major components, effectively extending the operational life of your entire system.

Maximize Trane’s Legendary Energy Efficiency

Trane systems are renowned for their efficiency, but dirt and neglect are the enemies of performance. Over a year of operation, dust and debris can accumulate on critical components like the evaporator and condenser coils, including Trane’s signature Spine Fin™ all-aluminum coils. This buildup forces your system to work harder to cool or heat your home, leading to a noticeable increase in your energy bills. Our maintenance includes a thorough cleaning of these components, restoring your unit to its factory efficiency standards and lowering your monthly energy costs.

Prevent Costly and Inconvenient Breakdowns

There is never a good time for your HVAC system to fail, especially during a Charlottesville heatwave or a frigid winter night. The vast majority of HVAC repairs could have been prevented with routine maintenance. During a tune-up, our technicians perform a detailed inspection of all electrical connections, motors, and moving parts. This allows us to identify potential issues like frayed wiring or worn-out capacitors and address them proactively, saving you from the stress and expense of an emergency service call.

Preserve Your Trane Manufacturer's Warranty

Your Trane system likely came with a robust manufacturer's warranty, offering valuable protection for your investment. However, most HVAC warranties require proof of regular, documented maintenance performed by a qualified professional. Neglecting annual service can void your warranty, leaving you financially responsible for repairs that would have otherwise been covered. Our maintenance service provides the necessary documentation to keep your warranty valid and your investment protected.

Our Detailed Trane HVAC Tune-Up Checklist

When our technicians service your Trane system, we perform a comprehensive, multi-point inspection and tune-up tailored to the brand's specific engineering. Southern Air doesn't just look over your system; we meticulously clean, test, and calibrate it for optimal performance. Our service includes:

1. Coil Inspection and Cleaning: We thoroughly clean the outdoor condenser coil (Spine Fin™) and indoor evaporator coil to ensure maximum heat transfer and efficiency.
2. Refrigerant Level Check: We accurately check refrigerant levels and pressure. An incorrect charge can severely damage the compressor, the heart of your Trane system.
3. Electrical System Inspection: We inspect and tighten all electrical connections, and measure the voltage and amperage on the motors to prevent electrical failures.
4. Fan and Motor Inspection: We inspect the fan motor and blades for wear and damage and lubricate all moving parts as needed to reduce friction and energy consumption.
5. Thermostat Calibration: We test your thermostat to ensure it is calibrated correctly for accurate temperature readings and precise comfort control.
6. Condensate Drain Cleaning: We flush the condensate drain line to prevent clogs that can lead to water damage, mold growth, and system shutdowns.
7. Blower Component Check: We inspect and clean the blower assembly to ensure proper airflow throughout your home, which is essential for both efficiency and comfort.
8. Safety Control Testing: We test all system safety controls and devices to ensure they are functioning correctly to protect your home and family.
9. Complete System Cycle Test: We run your Trane system through a full heating and cooling cycle to verify proper operation and identify any underlying performance issues.
