A heating or cooling system faces its toughest test during a January cold snap or a July heat wave. In Somerset County, where summers turn sweltering and winters bring biting cold, the quality of the equipment matters as much as the quality of the installation. Trane manufacturing practices are one reason we wanted a closer look at how Trane builds and tests its systems.
Kevin McHugh, owner of Valairco, and John Lorah, our operations manager, recently visited the Trane manufacturing facility in Tyler, TX.Our founder, Richard Valenti, started the company in 1968 through Trane's dealer development, so we wanted to see the process firsthand.
What Is the Trane Manufacturing Facility in Tyler, TX?
The Tyler facility manufactures Trane and American Standard HVAC products. Kevin and John arrived wanting to see how Trane proves a system can handle real weather.
Testing across multiple weeks shows how equipment performs over time. For homeowners in Somerset County, this kind of proof matters. We want the systems we install to have faced extreme conditions before they reach your home.
Why We Visited and What We Saw
Our customers trust us to stand behind the equipment we install, so we wanted to see the quality control behind Trane's systems. Kevin and John came away most impressed by the testing Trane performs on an ongoing basis.
Two of the test rooms stood out:
Testing at Extreme Cold
One room is driven down to extremely low temperatures, with snow falling. Equipment spends multiple weeks in these conditions. When winter hits Central New Jersey, you need a system that can keep up, and weeks of extreme-cold testing give us confidence in the equipment we recommend.
Testing at Extreme Heat
A second room is heated to extremely high temperatures, and testing here also spans multiple weeks. Central New Jersey summers turn sweltering, and your system has to keep running through every hot afternoon. Extended heat testing gives us the same confidence in summer as cold testing gives us in winter.
Quality Control and the Comfort Plus Warranty Work Together
Trane’s rigorous factory testing ensures your equipment is built to last, but lasting performance relies on what happens after installation. That is where Valairco’s Comfort Plus Warranty steps in.
