Imagine being able to keep the upstairs at a completely different temperature than upstairs. This not only accounts for the varying comfort levels of family members, but it allows households with unused areas to keep those areas cooler in the winter and warmer in the summer, providing savings on electric bills.

With the ComfortLink™ II, you can customize your screens, as well, making your system look as you desire. Included with this model is a five-day weather forecast screen for your convenience. This forecast includes radar views, as well as weather alerts, using your wireless network to transmit the data to your thermostat. The ComfortLink™ II will also give alerts when your air filter needs to be changed or cleaned, as well as when maintenance is required.

The ComfortLink™ II’s easy-to-use scheduling allows you to easily set your thermostat to change temperatures after you leave for the day and cut back on an hour or two before you return home, saving energy while you’re away for the day or even out of town. This model also has remote access, allowing you to control your system from anywhere using an Internet connection or even your smart phone.

Trane ComfortLink™ Remote Thermostat—Access from Anywhere

Today’s consumer has grown accustomed to being able to do everything from one place—a cell phone. The Trane ComfortLink™ allows you to change the temperature in your house no matter where you are. As long as your phone can get to the Internet, you can adjust your thermostat, as well as check the status of any Z Wave® appliances you have. Thanks to ComfortLink’s™ weather feature, you can also use your smart phone to check the five-day forecast wherever you are.

To provide remote access, Trane has partnered with Schlage LiNK™, a respected provider of home security products. This access does require a small monthly subscription, but you’ll receive a six-month trial upon purchase of your thermostat that you’re free to cancel if remote access isn’t for you. You’ll also need a web-enabled cell phone with Internet access to log into your system from your phone, as well as having text enabled to receive alerts from your system.

The ComfortLink™ also sends notifications to your phone, letting you know when your system needs serviced. Any system alarms will also be sent to your phone, as well.

XL900 Digital Thermostat—Technology Equals Convenience

Imagine being able to turn the heat in your house down to fifty degrees when you leave for work, only to have it cut back up to seventy an hour before you get home. Programmable thermostats can help reduce energy use by up to 15 percent, according to Trane. The XL900 has a programmable thermostat that will allow you to determine what your HVAC will do.

The XL900 also can include the Telephone Access Module, an add-on, allowing you to control your unit remotely from your phone. The XL900 includes ComfortLink™, which has each of your unit’s parts speaking to each other, keeping your system working at optimum capacity.

5/2 Programmable Thermostat—Different Schedules for Weekends and Weekdays

Most people have set schedules five days of the week, with two special days of rest. The Trane 5/2 thermostat addresses those changes, allowing users to program differently for weekends. With easy-to-learn programming, the 5/2 thermostat allows you to see the temperature inside your house and adjust it without having to switch screens.

The 5/2 programmable thermostat remembers your settings, keeping you from having to enter tem again. Even if there is a power interruption, you need not worry about resetting your schedule. The 5/2 thermostat remembers your settings.

Non-Programmable Thermostat—Simple System Control

Some people just want a thermostat. For those consumers, Trane has non-programmable thermostats for simple system control. Trane’s non-programmable thermostats are a digital version of the old-fashioned wall thermostat, with temperature settings that are so straightforward, anyone can learn it.

Trane’s thermostats are completely electric, with no batteries required. They also remember your settings so even if your power goes out, you don’t have to reset everything. Each Trane non-programmable thermostat has three switches: heat, cool, and off. The auto on fan switch is also included in this thermostat. The digital display makes this thermostat easy to use and easy to read.

There are two series of the Trane non-programmable thermostat. The XR400 series has two models—both having a large backlit display and a reminder when your filter needs to be changed. Both also have automatic change from heat to air. The upper-level model of the XR400 series also includes an outdoor temperature sensor, plus an optional indoor remote sensor is available as an add-on.

The XR200 series of the Trane non-programmable thermostat has a key lock and a large backlit display. This model features 1 heat/1 cool stage.

Trane CleanEffects™ Traps Allergens in its Filter

Trane’s CleanEffects™ was found by LMS Technologies and Environmental Health & Engineering to be 100 times more effective than the 1” filter normally used in households. With these results being verified by the Harvard School of Public Health, it’s hard to deny the filter’s benefits. As air passes through the CleanEffects™ filter, the filter captures 99.98% of the particles, but CleanEffects™ uses a unique system that allows the filter to capture allergens without blocking airflow. This allows your Trane system to maintain its superior efficiency while still keeping the air in your house pure.

Even better, because of its design, CleanEffects™ requires no replacement filters, saving your family additional money. The filters merely need to be vacuumed or cleaned using water once or twice a year. An indicator on the outside of the unit will let you know when it’s time to clean your filter.

The CleanEffects™ filter produces .3 parts per billion ozone to a household, which is well below the industry standard of 50 parts per billion. This means the air in your house is both clean and environmentally safe.

PerfectFit™ Filters—Three Options Help You Find the Perfect Fit

Trane offers three filtration options, with CleanEffects™ being top of the line. Trane offers PerfectFit™ 1” pleated filters, which are still up to six times more effective than standard 1” filters generally used with air conditioning systems. The PerfectFit™ pleated filter is available in a variety of sizes to fit your system and is easy to replace. For those wanting better filtering, the PerfectFit™ 5” filter is up to fifteen times more effective than a standard filter, providing optimum air cleaning for those who aren’t quite ready to go to the CleanEffects™ system.

All air that flows through PerfectFit™ filters are filtered, reducing allergens in your home significantly. If you choose, you may later upgrade either PerfectFit™ filter to the CleanEffects™ system.

Filters are an important part of your HVAC system, catching allergens and other airborne particles that can cause negative health effects. The Environmental Protection Agency says indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, no matter where the home is located. This shows the importance of not only filtering indoor air, but keeping your filters fresh. Trane’s PerfectFit™ filter goes above and beyond standard filters, giving your family that added protection it needs. This can help with everything from seasonal allergies to asthma, allowing everyone to breathe better.

Trane FreshEffects™–Cleaner, Fresher Air in Your Home

Does your home smell fresh? Sometimes all the candles in the world can’t get rid of that stale feleing. With Trane’s unique FreshEffects™ ventilator, you can circulate that air, pulling in much fresher outdoor air. Additionally, you’ll have Trane’s outstanding efficiency, making your home environmentally sound as well as economical.

FreshEffects™ also reduces the humidity in the air in the summertime, which can cut down on dust mites, which thrive in moist conditions. In the winter, the FreshEffects™ system pulls humidity in, reducing the dryness that tends to exist as you heat your home through the cold months.

Like Trane’s other products, the FreshEffects™ ventilator has high-quality components, including a powder-painted cabinet and a high-performance motor. The Static Plate Energy Transfer Core makes your unit more efficient, allowing for better transfer of moisture and heat. Typical home odors from pets, cooking, and other daily lifestyle activities will no longer be trapped inside your home by great insulation. The FreshEffects™ system will help circulate it out, bringing fresh air in.

Trane Humidifiers—A Different Kind of Humidifier

The environment in a home can become dry, especially in the winter. This can cause problems with skin dryness, as well as breathing problems as airborne allergens are allowed to circulate freely. Humidifiers can be very helpful in putting moisture back into dry environments, restoring your home environment to a more livable space.

Trane has three models of humidifiers, each built with Trane’s superior attention to detail. The small bypass with manual control can handle homes up to 3,000 square feet and output up to 12 gallons of moisture per day. For use with all models of furnaces, this model is less convenient if you prefer to automate your humidifying experience.

The two larger models have automatic controls for your convenience. The large bypass model also works with all models of furnaces and can handle spaces of up to 4,000 square feet. This model outputs up to 16.8 gallons of moisture per day. The fan-powered model can handle spaces of up to 4,200 square feet, with an output of as much as 18 gallons of moisture per day.

A humidifier also has the benefit of reducing static electricity in the air in your home. Static electricity can be a huge nuisance for your family. By installing a Trane humidifier, you can get up from the sofa without that feeling of dread that you’ll get a shock every time you touch something.

Dry air can also have a negative impact on the items in your house, including furniture and artwork. Wood can dry out in excessively arid environments, possibly cracking and splitting under enough pressure. Wood floors and other woodwork can also change shape in dry environments, possibly causing permanent damage to your floors and trim as wood begins to separate.

In general, humidified air just feels better in the wintertime. The temperature in your house will feel warmer at cooler temperatures, which can help reduce your heating bill when you need it most.

Trane has been in business since 1913, reincorporating in 2007 as a successor to American Standard Companies. Considered a leader in the industry, Trane provides superior systems to both commercial and residential accounts, with quality that lasts year after year.

Trane XL20i—Most Efficient Heat Pump

The XL20i is designed to maintain a perfect temperature in your home—cool in the summer, warm in the winter. This is achieved by using Comfort-R™ technology, which forces the fan to a slower speed at start-up to keep the humidity in your home at the perfect level.

Rated 19.00 Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, the Trane XL20i meets Energy Star requirements and is considered among the most efficient heat pumps in the industry. In addition to its revolutionary Comfort-R™ technology, the XL20i has a Heating Seasonal Performance Factor of 9.0, which means a higher output of BTU over a typical winter season than an average heat pump.

Thanks to its ComfortLink II Communication Capability module, the XL20i is like no other heat pump. The communication device allows each of the unit’s parts to speak to each other, keeping components calibrated and automatically charged at all times. A separate telephone module can also be installed, allowing you to control your device from your smart phone.

One of the most important features of the XL20i is the unit’s two-compressor design. One compressor keeps your home cool in mild weather, while the other compressor is for extremely hot days. Why force your unit to work overtime when it doesn’t have to? This feature not only saves money, it will help your heat pump last for many years.

The XL20i also has ChargeAssist™, which automatically charges your unit as needed, making it more efficient. In addition to the ComfortLink II technology, this makes your system self-sufficient in a way you’ve never seen before.

Trane XL15i—Quiet as a Mouse

For many consumers, efficiency isn’t the only consideration when searching for a new heating and air conditioning unit. Those consumers might like the Trane XL15i, which is not only among the most efficient heat pumps on the market, but also so quiet, you won’t even know it’s running. This is thanks to the fully insulated Climatuff® compressor. The top of the XL15i is coated with WeatherGuard II™, which will protect your unit against rain and snow over the years, ensuring durability for many years to come. The XL15i’s fasteners are coated with WeatherGuard as well, helping protect against rust and corrosion.

The XL15i also includes louvered panels made from galvanized steel on all sides, with baked on powdered finish that helps prevent rust. With an electronic defrost that activates on demand, your unit will defrost only when necessary, preventing excessive wear on your unit’s electronic components.

The shining feature of the XL15i, however, is the uniquely mounted integrated fan system, which promotes better airflow. The mounting design also provides a quieter performance, which brings much-needed peace and quiet to your household. The compressor is also insulated, keeping that part of operation quiet, as well.

XR15—Tax-Credit Eligible

When the government announced federal tax credits for families switching to energy efficient appliances, consumers began searching for units that met requirements. The Trane XR15 is SEER rated 16.50, which not only falls within the requirements for the tax credit, it provides efficient operation, lowering your electric bills and benefiting the environment.

With the XR15, you’ll get Trane’s ClimaTuff® compressor, along with a DuraTuff™ base pan, which is made from composite instead of metal to protect against corrosion and rust. The XR15 uses R-410A coolant, along with other energy-efficient components, making it safer for the environment.

Not only is this unit lower priced, it makes your family eligible for the Energy Star tax credit. In today’s economy, this is a welcome feature on any major purchase, but you’ll also have the comfort of knowing your unit will not need replacing for many years. The lower price is due to the XR15 missing a few features of the higher-priced units, including the two-stage operation available on units of higher efficiency. Weigh the average monthly cost-saving benefits of these features against your cost savings at purchase to determine if this is the right unit for you.

XB14—Cost-saving efficiency at a low price

You’ll be impressed with the low price of the XB14, but you’ll really be impressed by the cost savings. While XB14 lacks some of the efficiency features of higher-end models, it still qualifies for the federal tax credits, thanks to a 15.00 SEER rating and 8.5 HSPF. This also makes it a good choice for comfort and efficiency, reducing your energy bill each month and saving your family budget.

With the DuraTuff™ base pan to protect against rust and WeatherGuard™ fasteners to protect against the elements, the XB14 has many features of the higher-end models at a fraction of the cost. However, you will sacrifice some of the features that enhance efficiency, such as the dual-stage operation, are not provided on the XB14, but the lower price at purchase may make up the reduction in savings on your monthly energy bill. Run the numbers to choose the model that is best for your family budget.

On all Trane units, optional Trane CleanEffects™ is available. This purification unit will help remove allergens from your home, letting your family breathe better and making housekeeping easier. According to Trane, CleanEffects ™ purifies the air in your home up to 100 times more efficiently than a standard 1” filter. The CleanEffects™ filter traps large particles between layers in the pre-filter, extending the time between cleanings of your unit, as well as cleansing the air you breathe.

Trane backs all of its products with extended warranties, which vary depending on the model you choose. With nearly a full century of providing quality products to consumers, Trane is the leader in the heating and cooling industry, providing units to both businesses and residents around the globe. In recent years, Trane has dedicated itself to providing units that are better for the environment, helping ensure our planet is safe for many years to come.

XL20i—Humidity Control and Ultra Efficiency

Trane Air Conditioners - XL20i

This is the “mac daddy” of air conditioners, using Comfort-R™ technology to provide humidity control. Not only does this provide cooler air during the summer, it shoots out warmer air in the winter, thanks to fans that operate at slower speeds during the unit’s start-up.  Because Comfort-R™ creates less humidity, consumers will enjoy a few other benefits, as well, including a reduction in dust mites, since these little creatures thrive in humid environments.

Another feature included in the XL20i is a higher efficiency rating—20.00, which puts this unit among the highest-rated in efficiency on the market.

The XR15 comes in sizes from 1.5 ton to 5 ton. With a  DuraTuff™ non-corrosive base pan and Quick-Sess cabinet, even the XR15’s components are built to last.

XB14—Affordable system with superior performance

Trane Air Conditioners - XB14

You want a high-quality air conditioning and heating unit but you don’t have an unlimited budget. The XB14 will give you the Energy Star tax breaks you seek, while also reducing your energy bill, providing a savings your family budget will love.

Trane products offer superior construction and efficiency, ensuring your product will give you many years of comfort. With a Climatuff® compressor and an all-aluminum coil, the XB14’s components are tested before leaving the factory to make sure you’re getting the best quality available. Included with the XB14 is a rust-proof base pan, allowing you to use your new system for years without changing the pan. Full-side louvered panels protect your unit from the elements, which is important when choosing a unit that will be stored outside. Fasteners are weather-safe, as well, made from Weatherguard™ material that resists corrosion.

With any of Trane’s products, an optional CleanEffects™ filtration system can clear the air in your house of allergens, allowing your family to breathe more easily. Trane takes its products so seriously it had a team of professors from the Harvard School of Public Health test its CleanEffects™ system to verify the system provides top-quality filtering. With a filtration rate of 99.98% of all airborne pollutants, the CleanEffects™ filter has eight times the power of the best HEPA filtration systems.

With an eighty-year history of commitment to quality, Trane specializes in keeping homes cool in warm weather and warm in cold weather. Trane handles both commercial and residential accounts, providing systems to some of the country’s most well-known buildings. But Trane provides more than heating and air, with dehumidifying products, as well as products that clean the air.
