Who should you use?

Trane® has been manufacturing Air Conditioning equipment for over 90 years and has a reputation of reliability. They are also on the cutting edge of Indoor Air Quality by designing the most efficient electronic air cleaners on the market today. Trane has an industry leading 10 year warranty on its compressors, coils, and internal parts. Trane has multiple stage cooling and heating units with multiple compressors that allow it to be more efficient by operating at 50% on milder days and 100% on extremely hot days.

When matched with a variable speed indoor unit, the XL19i incorporates technology that enhances airflow called Comfort-R which gives you greater humidity control in cooling mode. This is accomplished by running the fan at a slower speed during start-up and gradually increasing the fan speed. Variable-speed fan motors adjust speed to quietly provide maximum comfort. Also, a sound insulator is put on the compressors to ensure quiet operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a seer rating and who sets the standards for testing?
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio; a test to measure the efficiency of your air conditioning systems standardized by the U.S. Department of Energy.
How much is one ton of air conditioning and what size will fit my application?
One ton is equal to 12,000 BTU/h and generally, depending on your home’s location, a ton will satisfy 400-500 square feet of living space.
What are the differences in Trane’s single stage, 2-stage, and variable-speed gas furnaces?
A single stage furnace will deliver the same amount of heat and airflow no matter what the temperature is outside. A 2-stage furnace with a 2-stage thermostat will begin in first stage (low burner, low airflow) and only go to second stage if the indoor temperature drops during first stage. This makes the furnace run longer, providing greater air circulation, temperature distribution, and air filtration. This also provides a more consistent indoor environment. The second stage will only come on when the need is there and then it will be able to run longer and maintain the comfort level. The more your system starts and stops, the less control you will have of your home's environment and the less efficiently it works, partly due to duct heat loss. The advantage of Trane's 2-stage, variable speed furnace is its Comfort-R™ Enhanced mode. This allows the coil to cool quickly and the blower to slowly ramp up and down or operate at 50 percent of the cooling air speed in the FAN ON position. This provides greater humidity control, quieter operation, and maximum air circulation, temperature distribution, and air filtration.
Why is a matched system so important?

A matched system is important for a variety of reasons. One is comfort. When all your components are properly sized to your home, you can control exactly how much heating or cooling you need so you can relax. A properly sized matched system enables every component to perform as designed, meaning proper cycle times are maintained, humidity is controlled, and system sound is minimized.

Another reason matched systems are important is efficiency. Often, people buy systems that are too large for their homes, meaning they pay to heat and cool space that isn’t even there. A matched system outlined by a dealer who has completed a load calculation for your home provides just the right amount of heating and cooling you need so you get the most value for your utility dollar. Often, most manufacturers’ warranty will vary if you don’t purchase a matched system as well!

What are the advantages of units with variable speed fans?
Variable speed fans operate on a simple principle: they are able to spin at different speeds depending on the heating and cooling needs of your home. Usually, they operate at lower speeds, delivering a steady, reliable stream of warm or cool air to your home. This helps control humidity levels, utility costs and system noise. When conditions become more extreme, the fan speed increases so that the system can meet increased demand, guaranteeing that on even the hottest days or coldest nights, your comfort needs are met.
Why should I choose Trane heating, air conditioning, thermostats and air cleaning equipment?

Increased efficiency, reliability, and control of your home's indoor environment are the main reasons for choosing a new Trane heating and air conditioning system. Our split system air conditioning units and heat pumps all have fully louvered panels to protect the outdoor coil from damage, as well as powder paint finishes and weather-resistant screws. Trane is the only manufacturer to offer all-aluminum outdoor coils, the patented Spine Fin™ coil. Our Spine Fin outdoor coils provide greater heat-transfer capabilities, thus resulting in higher efficiencies and greater resistance to corrosion than traditional copper/aluminum coils. The XL19i model is among the highest SEER ratings (cooling efficiency) systems in the industry.

Trane's gas furnaces feature self-diagnostic controls, a heavy steel 40" high, insulated cabinet, hot surface igniter, multi-port in-shot burners, one-piece heat exchangers with no welds, durable pre-painted finish, and some of the highest efficiencies in the industry, make Trane an obvious choice.

Using a programmable thermostat gives you the ability to control your climate when you sleep, wake up, leave for work and especially when you return home each day. You can rest assured that your system is working for your benefit. With accuracy within 0.1°F of the set point and the ability to customize the thermostat to your lifestyle, consumers can see a decrease in heating and cooling bills of up to 33%. With some systems, you can even control temperature and air quality functions like humidification and dehumidification from remote locations via a web based template.

When it comes to cleaner air, Trane’s revolutionary new CleanEffects is the industry's most effective whole-home air filtration system, capable of removing up to 99.98% of the allergens and harmful particles from your indoor air.
