I can get in the Tracker program but not the summit class. Whart do I do?

Please start your own thread.

Do you think maybe he was referring to start up of the unit on a call for heat? I cant imagine shutting down the primary to bring on the secondary heat. Maybe I missed something here?

Any help would be appreciated.By the way , I did call him back the next day and he still said that was true.

Voids UL Certifications which will void Product liability insurance I would bet.

trane question

yes these are single stage heat pumps and I'm thinking the same thing as far as defrost,etc.

Is this a heat pump? Then it begs the question what about defrost and when the compressor cannot keep up with demand? I see plenty of tranes with strip heaters working when the compressor is running as long as they are heat pumps. If we are talking about electric-electric units then what trane said is true. Chillerout1 is correct about special orders on trane equipment.

i woudl rate that statement as mostly true,but they do make special order units that will heat and cool at the same time for dehumidification purposes I have had several I-packs that were set up that way from trane, there was also a place in marietta ga that would modify units to dehumidify for trane

trane question

At the time we were talking about the WSC 060 models We install alot of these convertable rooftop units.

What product?
