3 reasons to go ductless

Any Sacramento homeowner would agree that maintaining the comfortable environment of your home can be challenging- particularly in our hot Summer months. Did you know that a ductless air conditioning system can keep your home and family cool and comfortable without the messy process of installing ductwork? Read on to discover three reason why a ductless system might be the right choice for your home.

Save Money and Energy with a Ductless System

Even the most energy efficient HVAC system on the market can waste up to 30 percent of the energy it creates, due to leaks in ductwork. By installing a ductless HVAC system, you will never have to be concerned about that type of inefficiency ever again. In addition to immediately eliminating the waste of energy, you can expect to see substantial savings on your energy bills, while enjoying the cooling comfort you would expect from your air conditioner.

1. Improved Air Quality

Most people have realized that indoor air quality can be far worse that the air outdoors, and this can be compounded by an aging or poorly maintained HVAC system. A wonderful feature of ductless systems is a built-in air filtration system that traps dander, dust, bacteria, pollen and other contaminants from the air in your home. Installing a ductless system in your home could bring you and your family a literal breath of fresh air. This filtration can be doubly beneficial to asthma and allergy sufferers.

2. Flexible Cooling

Ductless systems offer much more cooling flexibility that traditional HVAC units that cool every room in your house at the same time. A ductless air conditioning systems rely on a single outdoor unit, and a few indoor units, so you are able to install a ductless system exactly where you need it. Systems like this offer a simple and convenient method for cooling new additions, rooms without existing ductwork, or even rooms with it that have a hard time maintaining a pleasant temperature. Because the installation process is so simple, and there is no ductwork required, a ductless air conditioning system can take any room in your home from hot and stuff to cool and comfortable in just a few hours.

Learn how to find the manufacture date on a Trane air conditioner using the serial number. This step-by-step guide explains where to locate the serial number, how to decode Trane serial number formats, and how to determine the age of your HVAC system for warranty, maintenance, and replacement planning.

Total Time: 10 minutes

Locate the Trane Data Plate

Find the manufacturer information label on your Trane air conditioner. The data plate is typically located on the outdoor condenser cabinet near the refrigerant lines or electrical access panel.

Find the Serial Number

Identify the serial number printed on the data plate. The serial number may contain both letters and numbers depending on the age of the unit.

Identify the Serial Number Format

Determine whether your Trane system uses a newer numeric serial number format or an older alphanumeric format. Most modern Trane systems use the first two digits for the year and the next two digits for the production week.

Decode the Manufacture Date

Read the first four digits of the serial number to determine the production year and manufacturing week. For example, serial number 15234ABC indicates the unit was manufactured during the 23rd week of 2015.

Verify the System Age

Compare the manufacture date with your installation paperwork, maintenance records, or warranty information to confirm the approximate age of the air conditioning system.

Evaluate Repair or Replacement Needs

Use the manufacture date to help determine whether your Trane air conditioner may benefit from continued maintenance, repair, or replacement based on its age and efficiency.
