Certain suppliers are non-transactional. For those suppliers, you must call for the price.

 

What is the quickest way to identify a part?

It depends on the information you have. If you have the Trane Part or Vendor Part number, you can input either into our Product Search or Quick Order.

If I have identified an item using the Product Search or Product Categories, is there a way to paste the item attributes into another search to find alternatives?

No. Technical information cannot be copied and entered into a new search, but information can be printed using the print icons.

Who can I contact if the model/serial/part information is incorrect?

Contact our Parts Identification team. (hyperlink to Parts ID email)
