the Trane difference ...
Dealers value reliability as highly as you do. After all, our reputations depend on it. So we're proud that dealers of all brands chose Trane as the most reliable brand in the industry in an independent survey by The News, the leading publication in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry.
In January 2006, the Department of Energy increased the minimum efficiency from 10 to 13 SEER. SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) indicates the efficiencies of different types of equipment. The majority of systems installed before 1992 are 10 SEER or below and will continue to drop in efficiency as the system ages.
We spend up to 90% of our time indoors, and 60% of that time inside the home. We're dedicated to helping you create the kind of home environment that promotes your well-being as much as your comfort. That's why we design products and systems that work together to provide your home with the cleanest air possible.
Along with TRANE CleanEffects™, our variable-speed air handlers, and furnaces allow air to circulate through filters at the lowest effective level, meaning more thorough air cleaning. Trane whole-house humidifiers work throughout your home to keep your indoor humidity at just the right level, which helps keep particulate matter from circulating. And all Trane products are designed to be easy to maintain so you and your Trane dealer can keep your system and your indoor air cleaner, day after day, all year round.

ntroducing the Trane Product Line
How can a Trane system make your home complete? By making your indoor environment as valuable to you as your home's furnishings. It improves the air you breathe, the climate you feel and the way you live in your home.
Putting it all together for total home comfort:
A Trane comfort system is just that–a system of matched components that are completely integrated for delivering an ideal home indoor environment, enhancing livability, room by room. All Trane components are built to be reliable, durable and efficient. When these components are combined to work seamlessly as a “matched system,” you can imagine the impact they can make in your home comfort. At Trane, we believe that any comfort challenge can be overcome by the selection and proper installation of the right heating and air conditioning system.
A matched system starts with the right components that are put into the right combinations for maximum performance:
Whichever combination is right for you, a Trane matched system is the best way to ensure the ultimate in home comfort, consistent performance, lower energy consumption and cleaner air than any other system can provide. Our quality components are designed to work with other brands, but replacing only one component means that you won’t necessarily experience all that a Trane matched system has to offer.
Trane Air Conditioners
Our founder Reuben Trane patented his first air conditioning system in 1931. And to this day, every air conditioner we make features the durability and reliability that are the hallmarks of every Trane product.
Today's air conditioners are more comfortable and efficient then ever. Whatever size your home, whenever you need cool, comfortable, cleaner air, we're dedicated to providing the very best investment you can make in ensuring the comfort of you and your family.

Trane Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are a great solution for your home comfort system. That’s because they work to provide both heating and cooling. Whether it’s the hottest day of the summer, or the coldest day of winter, Trane heat pumps work day in and day out to provide your family with premium comfort.
Heat pumps are a mystery to most people, even those who own them. After all, how can these devices heat a home in winter and then cool it in summer?
According to experts at the Trane Home Comfort Institute, a consumer information service on heating and cooling, the answer lies in the fact that heat is present in all air, even air that's below freezing.
Think of the way your refrigerator removes unwanted heat that accumulates when you open the door and place warm food inside. You can feel that heat coming back into the kitchen from the refrigerator's exhaust fan.
In a similar way, a heat pump simply extracts the heat that's present in outdoor air in winter and delivers it inside your home to keep you warm and comfortable.
In summer, the process reverses. The heat pump pulls the heat out of indoor air and releases it outside to keep your home cool and dry. A heat pump's ability to both heat and cool makes it a very economical and efficient home comfort system.
The Trane Home Comfort Institute explains that a typical heat pump installation consists of two parts: an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit is called an air handler and looks similar to a gas furnace. The outdoor unit looks exactly like a central air conditioner in both size and appearance.
A special liquid called a refrigerant circulates between the indoor and outdoor units, absorbing and releasing heat as it travels through the loop.
Regardless of whether the heat pump is heating or cooling, the compressor is considered the "heart of the system" because it is the pump that circulates the refrigerant through the loop.
Because of its importance, experts recommend that you look closely at the compressor's reputation and warranty when selecting a heat pump. Trane offers heat pumps in Standard, High, Super, and Ultra Efficiency ranges similar to the air conditioner lineup.
Trane Air Cleaners
At Trane, we don’t just work to make sure your home’s air is warm or cool. We work to make sure it’s as clean and comfortable as it can be. Now, our TRANE CleanEffects™ air filtration system can provide your family with the cleanest air in the industry. A blessing for asthma and allergy sufferers, it can remove up to 99.98% percent of airborne allergens from your home’s air as it's heated or cooled.
Experience how clean and comfortable your air can be with our air filtration options:
TRANE CleanEffects™ - Enjoy up to 99.98% cleaner air. How does TRANE CleanEffects stack up against other air cleaners? TRANE CleanEffects utilizes patented, breakthrough air cleaning technology to remove up to an astounding 99.98% of airborne allergens from the air that passes through the filter, making it 8 times more effective than even the best HEPA room filters and up to 100 times more effective than a standard 1" filter. What's more, TRANE CleanEffects has been performance-tested by LMS Technologies and Environmental Health and Engineering, Inc. (EH&E), and the results verified by professors from the Harvard School of Public Health, so you know you're getting an air filtration system like no other.
LMS Technologies is a technology consulting company that specializes in air flow measurement, filtration testing and particle analysis. Environmental Health & Engineering is an environmental consulting and engineering services company that is dedicated to ensuring safe and productive environments, and is co-founded by Dr. John D. Spengler, PhD of the Department of Environmental Health at Harvard.
The standard air cleaners on the market have filters that are very dense. Meaning they try to stop the dust by trapping it in a slightly porous filter. The fewer the pores the more dust it can trap. However, this not only stops the dust and dirt, but it also stops the air from moving as well. In other words, the amount of air that goes through your system is reduced so you may not be as comfortable. Less air is cleaned and less efficiently. This is called pressure drop. The revolutionary TRANE CleanEffects air filtration system has the lowest pressure drop with the highest efficiency possible. Our unique patented technology is designed to let air flow freely through the most advanced filtration system available. The result, more of your air is cleaned faster and more effectively than anything else on the market.
TRANE Perfect Fit -- An innovative choice for a cleaner, more comfortable home. How an electronic air cleaner works. The air in your home circulates through your heating or cooling system, carrying millions of airborne particles through the ductwork. When this air goes through an electronic air cleaner, the prefilter traps the majority of the large particles. The smaller particles continue to pass through the prefilter and receive a positive electrical charge. Collector plates, which carry a negative charge, attract these small particles like magnets, holding them until they're washed off. Cleaner, filtered air is then circulated throughout your home. The 1” filter that comes with your system is intended to protect your system but doesn’t do much to clean the smaller particles in the air.
Particles in the air often aggravate conditions like allergies and asthma. With an electronic air cleaner, your heating and cooling system does more than circulate air-it actually works to clean it. A system that includes an electronic air cleaner can remove up to 95% of unwanted pollutants from the air passing through it, such as:
- Dust
- Pollen
- Animal hair and dander
- Dust mites
- Lint
- Smoke
- Cooking grease
- Some bacteria
Also, since an air cleaner draws the particles out of the air, your home’s interior surfaces, such as wallpaper and paint, stay cleaner longer, helping prevent the kind of particle build up that can cause reactions in family members with allergies or asthma.
Trane Thermostats
Trane offers a complete line of programmable and non-programmable comfort controls to meet your needs. Each has been designed to maximize the performance of Trane’s heating and air conditioning systems with reliable, accurate temperature control. And, not only are they easy to use, they’re also easy on the eye. With an attractive, streamlined design, our thermostats will fit beautifully into any home’s décor. Your Trane dealer can help you select the model that’s right for your system and your lifestyle.
Trane programmable thermostats are designed to maximize the performance of your home comfort systems with reliable, accurate temperature control. And, because you could program them to raise or lower the temperature when you're not home, they also save energy while still maintaining your standard of comfort. In fact, during the winter you can save about 3 percent of your heating costs for every degree you lower your thermostat. During the summer, you can cut your cooling costs up to 4 percent for every degree you raise your thermostat*. All you have to do is plan your family's schedule for the week, follow your thermostat's simple programming instructions, and then reap the benefits of lower energy costs and enhanced comfort.
With our programmable thermostats, you start by simply programming your weekday requirements—when you wake, when you leave the house, the time you return home, the time you go to sleep, and the temperature you want at each of those times. Of course your schedule will differ on weekends. Most of our electronic thermostats take this into consideration, and will let you program accordingly. However, even after you've set your thermostat, you still have flexibility. You can temporarily change a program if your schedule suddenly changes, and you can update the program as needed.
Our electronic digital thermostats can also be operated manually without canceling the regular program. Ease of use, flexibility, energy savings, and an attractive design—Trane's digital, programmable thermostats keep you in touch with your heating and air conditioning system and your family's comfort.
*Potential energy savings may vary depending on your personal lifestyle, system settings, equipment maintenance, local climate, actual construction, and installation of equipment and duct systems.
Trane Furnaces and Coils
All winter long, you depend on your furnace to meet the heating needs of your home and your family. That’s why we build Trane furnaces to perform again and again, year after year. Beyond performance, we also provide you with options for energy-efficient operation. In fact, some of our furnaces operate at over 90% efficiency, which means that 90% of the fuel you pay for is actually converted into heat for your home.
We offer a wide variety of Trane furnaces and coils, ranging from Standard and High Efficiency Comfort Coils, to XV90, our top-of-the-line Two Stage Variable Speed Super-Efficient system rated with up to 93%+ AFUE.
Trane Air Handlers
An air handler is an important part of your home’s comfort system. Your central air conditioning system consists of two main parts -- an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. The air handler is the indoor unit and its job is to effectively circulate conditioned air throughout your home. When matched with a heat pump, it circulates both cool and hot air, depending on the season. With properly sized Trane air handlers, your family has the right amount of clean, comfortable air all year round.
Plus, Trane air handlers make a significant contribution to the overall efficiency of your system. That’s because the more efficient your air handler is, the less work your outdoor unit has to do to make your home comfortable.
Trane Humidifiers
The TRANE Humidifiers features:
- Helps alleviate dry conditions which may aggravate asthma and allergy symptoms
- Reduces static electricity in carpets
