Anyone know anything about Runtru (By Trane) heat pumps?

Trevor_Lambert | Posted in General Questions on

I’m looking at replacing my failed Fujitsu heat pump, and this is what the local place is recommending. He was supposed to quote on a Mitusbishi as well, but haven’t seen that yet.

The datasheet he sent is sadly lacking. It shows only max output at various temperatures, no COP. It would certainly be a step down from the Fujitsu, which could do 22kBTU/h, whereas this thing tops out at 13kBTU/h. I recall that the Futjitsu could put out close to the max for a pretty good range as well, whereas this thing tapers off drastically, and is only doing 8k at my design temperature of -18C(0F). 

I found the NEEP database to try to do a direct comparison, but it seems to have only current models. Anyone know where I can find the full performance data for the Fujitsu 9RLS3? The submittal sheet doesn’t have much.
