How We Delivered Same-Day Excellence for a TRANE PTAC Repair
When it comes to HVAC repair, time and efficiency are of the essence. Recently, we received a service call from a client in Laval regarding their TRANE PTAC (Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner). The client wasn’t sure if their unit could be repaired or if they’d need to replace it entirely. Understanding their concerns, we assured them of our customer-focused policy: if a machine isn’t repairable and the customer opts for a replacement, the service call fee is fully credited toward the purchase of a new unit. This approach not only saves our customers money but also provides them with peace of mind.
This client was thrilled by our commitment to transparency and professionalism, and our same-day response truly exceeded their expectations. Here's how we handled this job from start to finish.
Understanding the Client's Issue
Upon arriving at the location, we conducted a thorough inspection of the TRANE PTAC unit. The client explained that the system had been making loud noises and had stopped cooling effectively—a frustrating issue, especially during changing seasonal temperatures. Using our specialized diagnostic tools, we identified the problem: a malfunctioning compressor relay and a clogged condenser coil. These issues were causing the unit to overheat and struggle with maintaining proper airflow.
The Repair Process
Step 1: Cleaning and Diagnosing the Problem
We began by cleaning the condenser coils, which had accumulated significant dirt and debris over time. This is a common problem with PTAC units, as they often pull in dust from their environment. A blocked coil not only reduces efficiency but can also strain the compressor, leading to further damage.
Step 2: Replacing the Faulty Compressor Relay
After cleaning the unit, we replaced the faulty compressor relay—a critical component that controls the compressor's power cycle. A worn-out relay often results in irregular cooling and noise, both of which the customer had been experiencing.
Step 3: Testing and Fine-Tuning
Once the repairs were completed, we conducted a series of performance tests to ensure the PTAC unit was functioning at optimal capacity. We also calibrated the thermostat and checked for refrigerant levels to confirm there were no leaks or other hidden issues.

How to Prevent Future PTAC Issues
While we’re always here to help with repairs, regular maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan of your HVAC system. Here are some tips to keep your PTAC unit in great shape:
- Clean or Replace Filters Monthly: Dirty filters restrict airflow, forcing the system to work harder and reducing efficiency.
- Schedule Annual Maintenance: A professional tune-up can catch minor issues before they become major problems.
- Keep the Area Around the Unit Clean: Dust and debris can easily clog your unit’s condenser coils.
- Monitor Performance: If you notice any unusual noises, inconsistent cooling, or increased energy bills, don’t wait—call us right away.
