What it does, in numbers
$31.29
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.
≈$207
Heating, all winter
≈ $16 less than baseboard heaters
Typical 280 sq ft room with one exterior wall, in Montréal: 2,000 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.
≈ $238 for the year, before tax. Winter is 87% of it. If your home stays in the first tier of Rate D in summer (7.065 ¢/kWh), cooling drops to $19.84.
Capacities and currents: Trane ProSpace manual PART-SVX007A-EN (September 2024). Power draw: 1,404 W in cooling (14,600 BTU/h ÷ EER 10.4), 1,288 W in heat-pump mode, 5,000 W on the 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.
14,600What it really delivers in cooling
The name says 15,000 BTU: that's the unit's size class. Trane publishes 14,600 BTU/h at 230 V and 14,200 at 208 V, the supply in many buildings. Better to read it here than on the spec sheet after installation.
5,000 WThe heater that takes over
The "H" in PTHG1501HAA means a heater of up to 5.0 kW: 5,000 W at 230 V, 4,090 W at 208 V. It heats when the heat pump can no longer keep up. The size installed (2.5, 3.5 or 5.0 kW) follows the power cord and the circuit.
50 dBThe noise at low speed
50 dB(A) at low speed, 53 at high speed, as measured by Trane. In a bedroom, that's the number that decides the complaints: the unit runs at night, two metres from the bed.
3.17Pints of water it removes per hour
The dehumidification Trane publishes in cooling mode: 3.17 pints per hour. It's what keeps a room comfortable in summer without it turning clammy.
6-30PThe outlet it needs
With the 5.0 kW heater: a NEMA 6-30P plug on a dedicated 30 A circuit. With 3.5 kW: 6-20P on 20 A. 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 1.9 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.
