Trane RTAC, CVHE and Series R chillers maintained and repaired.
Overview
Trane builds some of the most durable screw and centrifugal plant in service in Gauteng. We work on Series R air- and water-cooled screw machines, CenTraVac centrifugals and Tracer controls — from routine planned maintenance right through to compressor rebuilds and tube bundle work.

Troubleshooting
Tap a fault for likely causes, what to check on site, and when to call us out.
Likely causes
What to check
Pull the diagnostic history off the panel rather than clearing it — the sequence of events tells you the root cause.
When to call us
Call us before clearing the log; the fault history is the fastest route to a correct diagnosis.
Likely causes
What to check
Check oil differential pressure and the last filter change; verify liquid line sight glass is clear.
When to call us
Persistent low oil flow means stop and call — Series R rotors are unforgiving of oil starvation.
Likely causes
What to check
Log purge pump-out counts per day and compare to the commissioning baseline.
When to call us
A rising purge count means the machine is drawing in air — call us to leak-test before acid forms in the oil.
Likely causes
What to check
Measure condenser approach and compare against the log book; check tower basin and water treatment records.
When to call us
Above a 2 °C rise in approach, book a tube clean — every degree is roughly 2 – 3 % on your energy bill.
Parts & Spares
Trane consumables and sensors are readily available in Gauteng. Series R compressor and CenTraVac bearing spares are imported — expect 4 – 8 weeks. We keep common Tracer sensors and oil filters for contract clients.

FAQ
A routine Trane service starts around R4 500 – R9 500 per unit depending on tonnage, compressor count and site access. Repairs are quoted separately after diagnosis. Send us the nameplate photos through the quote form and we come back with a fixed price within 24 hours.
Yes — we source OEM parts through South African distributors wherever the part is still catalogued. Where a component is obsolete or on long lead time, we offer a tested equivalent and tell you up front which route we are taking and what it does to the warranty.
Absolutely. Most of the Trane plant we look after in Gauteng is well past its warranty period. We service, rebuild and re-commission older units rather than pushing you straight into a replacement.
We work with the unit controller and integrate it with BACnet, Modbus or your existing BMS head-end. That includes alarm mapping, trending, setpoint scheduling and getting fault history off the panel so we can see what actually tripped.
Same-day across Johannesburg, Pretoria, the East Rand, West Rand and the Vaal Triangle. Mpumalanga, North West, Free State and Limpopo are typically next-day, sooner for critical plant.
Yes — quarterly or bi-annual planned maintenance with logged readings, refrigerant records, water-side checks and a written condition report each visit. Contract clients get priority breakdown response.
