What it does, in numbers
$18.18
Cooling, all summer
Less than a 60 W light bulb
Bulbs left on day and night for a year. Cooling: 5 h a day for 40 days, the assumption used by Hydro-Québec's air-conditioning calculator. Same calculation for every line: wattage × hours × 11.142 ¢/kWh.
≈$129
Heating, all winter
Typical 162 sq ft room with one exterior wall, in Montréal: 1,154 kWh of heat per winter (Environment Canada 1991–2020 climate normals).
≈ $147 for the year, before tax. Winter is 88% of it. If your home stays in the first tier of Rate D in summer (7.065 ¢/kWh), cooling drops to $11.53.
Capacities and currents: Trane ProSpace R-32 manual PART-SVX007A-EN (September 2024). Power draw: 816 W in cooling (10,200 BTU/h ÷ EER 12.5), 3,450 W on the 3.5 kW heater. Hydro-Québec Rate D in effect since April 1, 2026: 11.142 ¢/kWh second tier, before tax.
What you should know about this one
Published, verifiable facts, not brochure claims.
10,200What it really delivers in cooling
The name says 9,000 BTU: that's the unit's size class. Trane publishes 10,200 BTU/h at 230 V, a little more than its size class, and 9,900 at 208 V, the supply in many buildings.
3,450 WThe heater that heats the room
The "G" in PTEG0901GAA means a heater of up to 3.5 kW: 3,450 W at 230 V, 2,830 W at 208 V. It heats the room all winter. Trane rules out the 30 A cord on this size: it's 2.5 kW on 15 A or 3.5 kW on 20 A.
46 dBThe noise at low speed
46 dB(A) at low speed, 50 at high speed, as published by Trane. In a bedroom, that's the number that decides the complaints: the unit runs at night, two metres from the bed.
2.11Pints of water it removes per hour
The dehumidification Trane publishes in cooling mode: 2.11 pints per hour. It's what keeps a room comfortable in summer without it turning clammy.
6-20PThe outlet it needs
With the 3.5 kW heater: a NEMA 6-20P plug on a dedicated 20 A circuit. With 2.5 kW: 6-15P on 15 A. In a replacement, the outlet already in the wall dictates the heater size.
43 sq ftThe smallest room allowed with R-32
The manufacturer's requirement for a unit charged with 1.1 lb of R-32. No bedroom comes close, but the rule matters in a mechanical room or a service room.
5 yearsThe compressor warranty
Trane covers the compressor and the sealed system for 5 years. We register the warranty in your name at commissioning.
It fits the 42 × 16 in sleeve already in your wall
Trane allows it to be installed in another manufacturer's sleeve, as long as condenser air is neither restricted nor recirculated. Our estimator checks the sleeve and the grille in place before ordering.
What it needs on site
In a replacement, we check the outlet and the breaker first: they set the heater size you can use. Our estimator confirms the sleeve, the outlet and the slope before ordering.

At AirGreen, we have installed this system in a variety of environments, and its consistent reliability, low energy consumption, and versatility make it a top choice for professionals and property managers.
A discreet, high-performance wall unit designed to last
Designed for demanding environments
The Trane R32 PTAC installs directly into the exterior wall, requiring no ductwork. This configuration makes it an ideal solution for buildings with space constraints or requiring individual room-by-room comfort control. The unit's dimensions (42 x 21.5 x 16 inches) ensure seamless integration while allowing for easy front-facing maintenance.
The unit uses R-32 refrigerant gas, recognized for its low environmental impact and excellent energy efficiency , as part of an eco-responsible approach in line with current Quebec standards.
Performance and silence at the rendezvous
With a noise level of 54 dB at maximum power and 51 dB in reduced mode , this air conditioner ensures discreet use , even in rooms or noise-sensitive spaces. Several of our customers in Saint-Hubert , Boisbriand and Saint-Eustache have highlighted how the reduced noise level significantly improves daily comfort.
The 12,000 BTU cooling capacity efficiently covers a medium-sized room, while the heat pump function with integrated electric heating ensures a stable temperature during the winter months.
Smart features and flexibility of use
Precise temperature control
Thanks to its intelligent on-board computer , the Trane PTAC air conditioner analyzes operating data in real time and automatically adjusts its performance. This technology ensures optimal comfort while reducing energy consumption. The auto-memory function ensures that settings are retained even in the event of a power outage.
We found, during installation in a seniors' residence in Longueuil , that this feature helped maintain a stable level of comfort without repeated manual interventions, a valuable benefit for building managers.
Multi-speed mode and 24-hour timer
The unit offers several fan speeds , suitable for occasional or prolonged needs. The automatic anti-frost mode protects the room from excessive temperature drops in winter, thus preventing any damage caused by frost.
The 24-hour timer allows you to program the unit to turn off or on based on the occupant's habits—a popular option among motel owners in Laval who want to limit their energy consumption without compromising their guests' comfort.
Strength, durability and solid guarantees
A robustness that crosses the seasons
This model is protected by a special anti-corrosion coating on the coils, which makes it particularly suitable for coastal or high humidity environments such as in several areas of the South Shore , including Boucherville or La Prairie .
