Why Use a Crankcase Heater?
During extended off periods, refrigerant can migrate and mix with compressor oil, leading to oil dilution and potential compressor damage upon restart. The Trane HTR10038 crankcase heater keeps the oil warm enough to prevent this migration, protecting your investment and maintaining system performance season after season.
