Installing RunTru By TRANE Split System | Would I RECOMMEND Them??

In this video I show my process on removing the existing Ruud heat pump split unit and installing a new 3 ton RunTru heat pump split air conditioner. On this job I reused the existing refrigerant lines, so I flushed them R11x and purged with nitrogen. This is my first time installing this new product line made by Trane. I'll go a few things that I like about the product as well as a few things that I don't. Hope you enjoy the video, happy HVACing.

Someone call the county Inspector. Most likely he did not pull a permit for that installment, as there is no way in hell that outdoor unit will pass to code. Or he failed it, then he did not list a video going back for being a idiot.

I just bought (May 2021) a Trane Heat Pump Electric and can't believe how loud mine is, I had 2 Tranes before which were great. I like the flat piece you put under the outside unit. Mine was installed with 4 cheap cup looking deals at each corner. I was not impressed and have been treated fine, but they cannot get rid of the loudness except an idea of covering the suspected reason, I believe he said the compressor It was the part beneath the fan motor. I don't want a cover up, I want a fix.

[@joshriver75]

Ive had this set about one year. Replaced Carrier unit that was 14 years old. Sized the same. My only complaints are the heat pump is noisy. The fan is loud and there is a very distinct "compressor type sound" on a resonant frequency (for lack of a better explanation) that can be heard from inside the house, but not so much outside. The other is when temps get very cold outside it can't even keep up with 70° 12° outside. Currently 65°. I dont remember this happening with the old unit. But I cant swear it that it didn't. Some areas of the fins never seem to defrost. We bought it because it was the cheapest. Ive spent more time 2nd guessing the decision than I would like.

[@scotta9114]

Very nice work. Clean and very neat. We live in Beaverton Oregon and had a Bryant 4-Ton Preferred Series 15 SEER Heat Pump installed. The installer "forgot" his Tubing bender so bent the 7/8" copper line-set by hand which oval-shaped the copper. Then since he couldn't do a sharp bend, he brazed right-angle copper fittings at the Condenser and Evaporator. Wondered what this does to refrigerant flow characteristics? I also caught him brazing without using Nitrogen. Line-set inside the Garage runs straight across the floor where we walk. We wanted to fire him on the spot but it was 100 degrees outside and wanted House cooled. My bad. Then I noticed no Filter Dryer. Called Company and they said there is one inside the outdoor unit. There seems to be one. We called Bryant/Carrier and they said absolutely need a 5-Ton Filter Dryer installed. It gets worse! We tried the Heat Pump over the winter and when it powerup up, the Condenser made a terrible noise so we switched back to Natural Gas. Called the installer Company and he said "You have no business using a Heat Pump in Oregon". Natural Gas is so much cheaper. So why is it sounding bad in Heat Pump mode? He said 'because I took out the Orifice on the Condenser and your flooding the Compressor - so you can't use the Heat Pump. So why did you sell us a Heat Pump and wire the Stat to have EM to enable the Heat Pump? No reply. Being very pissed off, I bought a Master Cool 5CFM dual-stage Vacuum Pump. I found the Orifice size I needed in the installers manual. I sucked all the Refrigerant into the Condenser, closed the service valves and disconnected the high-side line 3/8"? and installed the Orifice. Vacuumed the line-set down and let her rip. The System is working OK but still don't have a Dryer installed in the Line-set. We really got screwed but thankfully, it is still working. Wish we could have found someone like you to do the install. People are nuts here. Maybe it is Covid Brain?

I carry two Schrader tools, a typical shirt-pocket screwdriver style and a short stubby one from a bike schrader set from Wal-Mart that cost like $2.99, works great. It's about 3/4" of an inch long. Had prongs that came out of it but I whacked them off with my lineman's-- I'd recommend everyone carry a short schrader tool for that exact situation.

Thanks a lot. Just had a 2.5 ton unit (RunTru) installed. Seems to be pretty nice so far. SOOO much quieter than my old 2004 unit was. I'm hoping to see some savings on the electric bill, too, as the old unit hasn't functioned well for years! Air inside is a LOT colder coming out of the vents. They paired it with a RunTru airhandler/heater.

[@joshfowler1849]

If you ever want to change out your schrader valve without having to recover the refrigerant, you can always pump the refrigerant back into the outdoor unit. If you shut your liquid line service valve all the way and hook up your gauges then you can slightly close off your suction side service valve. While holding in your contactor (in a/c mode obviously) you will be able to watch your suction pressure drop down to zero. Once it gets close to zero you can start shutting your service valve as quickly as possible and all of your refrigerant will be back in the outdoor unit just like it was when you originally installed it. At this point you can just change out your schrader valve and pull your vacuum. Then your ready to open up your service valves and fire it up.

He didn’t release the charge yet so all refrigerant already packed in condenser. He weighed in refrigerant so he had to recover what he weighed in which was 24oz.

[@710turtle]

Great video! Good job solo! Sometimes I wish I could be lol. We just installed our first RunTru beginning of last week. I liked AmeriStar but had a lot of problems out of defrost board. On the liquid line shrader valve, I didnt have any problem removing the valve before I soldered, which helps to check and tighten it when you put it back in. But if you can't, try bending the brass fitting or take the screws out holding it to the frame and pull it out for more room.

[@johnisraelhvac2019]

Great video and job Zach. The reason the run tru has happened (FYI it’s everywhere not just Tennessee) Ameristar is owned by Ingersoll Rand not Trane. Ameristar was not Trane made (Except the gas furnace) it’s made in China. Trane cut ties with Ingersoll Rand at the 1st of the year. So they now make Run Tru with is made by Trane.

[@QualityHVACR]

I didn’t know that. I was told at Trane that the American Standard vendors would still carry Ameristar, I guess that makes sense now. Thx for the info John!

[@tomdoepke6446]

Nice video, thanks for sharing! Only thing I do differently is braze the equipment up first before electrical and ductwork. That way I can get a vacuum going and do the rest while the vacuum pump is running. I think the RunTru equipment looks good but you're right the service port on the liquid line is in a horrible spot. They need to fix that. Nice clean install bro

I was told in HVAC school that you are against code if you run 24v stat wire in same conduit as 120v wire?

[@dwight.bennett]

True. There are exceptions, but the short answer is regular Class-2 thermostat wire cannot be in the same conduit/fitting/box.
