Every home deserves improved efficiency, reliability, and control of its indoor environment. Watch the video and learn how Trane delivers it all.

Our split system air conditioning and heat pump outdoor units all have fully louvered panels to protect the outdoor coil from damage, as well as tough powder paint finishes and weather-resistant screws. We are the only manufacturer to offer the patented all-aluminum Spine Fin™ outdoor 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. Our XL20i 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-inch-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, making Trane an obvious choice. This reliability and efficiency extends to our line of top performingAll-in-One systems, packaging all your heating and cooling needs into one sleek cabinet for versatile installation.

We are also the variable-speed airflow experts. Our variable-speed furnaces and revolutionary Hyperion™ air handlers can do things other manufacturer’s products can’t, such as superb humidity control with Comfort-R™. This feature allows the coil to get cold faster and the furnace blower to slowly ramp up and down, or to operate at 50 percent of cooling speed in the “Fan On” position. This provides greater air circulation and filtration, even temperature distribution, humidity control, and quiet performance. Variable-speed motors are the most efficient motors as well, increasing the overall efficiency of your heating and air conditioning system.

And when it comes to cleaner air, our revolutionary Trane 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 family’s air.

7 Heating and Cooling Tips

CHECK YOUR FILTER EVERY MONTH, especially during heavy use months (winter and summer). A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work harder to keep you cool or warm – wasting energy. A clean filter will also prevent dust and dirt from building up in the system – leading to expensive maintenance and / or early system failure.

CALL TO SCHEDULE A PRECISION TUNE-UP. Just as a tune-up for your car can improve gas mileage, a yearly tune-up of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency, comfort, and equipment life.

PROPERLY SET YOUR THERMOSTAT. You can save about $180 per year by properly setting your thermostat. You can set it higher or lower (depending on the season) when you are away from home, asleep or on vacation. A programmable thermostat would be the most ideal way to get the most savings. We have many models to choose from.

HAVE DUCTS PROPERLY SEALED. Properly sealed and insulated ducts can improve the efficiency of your heating and cooling system by as much as 20%, and sometimes even more. We have trained professionals that can test the leakage rate.

HAVE REFRIGERANT CHECKED. A properly charged system will operate more efficiently and help prolong the systems life. This is done during our Precision Tune-Ups.

HAVE PROPER SIZE EQUIPMENT. Many homeowners believe that bigger is better when buying new equipment, when in fact a system that is too large will not keep your home comfortable because of its frequent on/off cycling. If your system is more than 15 years old, you may want to consider getting a more efficient model.

SET WATER HEATER TO 120 DEGREES OR LOWER. Savings resulting from turning down your water heater temperature are based on 2 things: reduced standby losses, and consumption. If you have an older water heater, you can save money by wrapping it in insulation. (Don’t forget to turn off electric water heaters when you go on vacation)
