What it does, in numbers
$12.35
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.
≈$104
Heating, all winter
≈ $8 less than baseboard heaters
Typical 140 sq ft room with one exterior wall, in Montréal: 1,000 kWh of heat per winter (Environment Canada 1991–2020 climate normals). The heat pump is counted only at 8 °C and warmer, where Trane rates its output; below that, the heater, at the price of a baseboard. If it keeps heating in colder weather, the bill goes down.
≈ $116 for the year, before tax. Winter is 89% of it. If your home stays in the first tier of Rate D in summer (7.065 ¢/kWh), cooling drops to $7.83.
Capacities and currents: Trane ProSpace product data sheet PTAC-PRD002A-EN (January 2016). Power draw: 554 W in cooling (7,200 BTU/h ÷ EER 13.0), 552 W in heat-pump mode, 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.
7,200What it really delivers in cooling
The name says 7,000 BTU: that's the unit's size class. Trane publishes 7,200 BTU/h at 230 V, a little more than its size class, and 7,000 at 208 V, the supply in many buildings.
3,450 WThe heater that takes over
The "G" in PTHF0701GAA means a heater of up to 3.5 kW: 3,450 W at 230 V. It heats when the heat pump can no longer keep up. 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.
48 dBThe noise at low speed
48 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.
1.69Pints of water it removes per hour
The dehumidification Trane publishes in cooling mode: 1.69 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.
5 yearsThe compressor warranty
Trane's product data sheet states 5 years on parts, 5 years on the sealed system with unit replacement, and 1 year on parts and labour. We register the warranty in your name at commissioning.
A 42 × 16 in sleeve, and a grille that seals well
For a replacement, Trane asks to identify the maker and size of the sleeve in place, and requires a good seal between the grille and the outdoor coil. With another brand's grille, it takes a Trane sleeve and its baffle kit. Our estimator checks everything 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.
