Seems Trane is an expert at developing heating and cooling equipment - but a novice when it comes to developing a reliable air cleaner that performs.
I heard word on Thursday that Trane announced a major issue with the CleanEffects / AccuClean product. Seems that the cells are arching and units have smoked, melted, and caught on fire. They are working with the Consumer Product Safety Council on how to manage a major recall of all units sold with a date code prior to May 2007. All 100K plus customers that have a unit installed will be contacted ASAP and told the CleanEffects / AccuClean product presents a safety hazard in the home - and instructed to turn the power off to the unit ASAP.
If you have one in your home - turn off the power ASAP!!!
First Aprilaire's recall in Jan 2005 with the 5000 model, now Trane's recall. It seems a traditional high efficiency media filter (MERV 10 or greater) or the metal cell EACs are the best way to go.
What has anyone else heard about this?
