With nightly Gilbert temperatures dipping into the mid-thirties, selecting the right Trane HVAC Gilbert AZ heating solution for your home or business can increase your comfort while also saving on heating expenses. Trane specializes in heat pumps. The company has been around for over 125 years. They build durable and effective HVAC products designed for home, office and industry.
Whether hot or cold, a Trane heat pump provides cost-efficient Gilbert HVAC services. Although the term “Heat Pump” suggests heating only, Trane products deliver cool air in the summer as well as hot air in the winter. During construction, many Gilbert, AZ homeowners may opt to install a furnace for heating and leave off the cooling for later addition in the form of one or more window-unit air conditioners. An installed Gilbert heat pump eliminates the need for excessive and expensive-to-operate window equipment.
Trane HVAC Gilbert HP solutions ship in four energy-efficient classifications:
- Standard
- High
- Super
- Ultra.
The following close-up from Arizona’s American Cooling and Heating will help you determine which Trane HVAC Gilbert heat pump best fits the heating and cooling requirements of your home.
Standard Efficiency Units: Trane XB13 and Trane XB14
Although listed as standard units, the durable Trane XB13 and XB14 units are crafted to provide efficient and economical heating and cooling services. The optional “CleanEffects” feature incorporates advanced allergy-inducing particle filtration. Although similar in durability and performance, the two units differ in SEER ratings. The XB14 rates a 15.00 SEER rank and exceeds the minimum federal Energy Star requirements. The XB13 SEER rating tops 13.00 but fails to comply with minimum Energy Star regulations.
Otherwise, both units provide:
- An HSPF up to 8.5
- Nominal sound ratings of 78
- A 5-year warranty on coil and functional parts
- A 10-year warranty on the compressor
- And options for an extended warranty.
Either unit is ideal for a small home or small office. Both are Trane-reliable, Trane-durable and provide cost-efficient heating and cooling.
High Efficiency Units: Trane XR13, Trane XR14 and Trane XR15
Shipping out of the crate with a limited registered warranty of ten years for the coil, compressor and functional parts, the Trane high efficiency units provide effective Trane HVAC Gilbert heating and cooling solutions for home and office. An extended warranty is also available for any Trane high efficiency heat pump system.
Base features include:
- Nominal sound levels from 75 to 76, depending on which unit is selected
- The XR15 is Energy Star efficient and rates 9.0 HSPF and 16.50 SEER
- The Trane XR14 pulls 9.0 HSPF and a SEER rating of 15.00
- The Trane XR13 comes in a little weaker at 8.5 HSPF and 14.00 SEER
- Neither the 13 nor the 14 rate Energy Star.
Trane high efficiency units work well in small to mid-size homes. They are less expensive than the power units in the Super and the Ultra class, but they are also less efficient. Going this route involves a tradeoff between initial startup costs versus long-term energy savings. But either way you go, Trane HVAC Gilbert heat pump solutions will keep you toasty in the winter and cool during the long Arizona summer.
Super Efficiency Units: Trane XL14i and Trane XL15i
Both models of the Trane Super Efficiency heat pump units meet and exceed the federal Energy Star requirements. SEER rating marks the only distinction between the two units: The Trane XL14i comes in at 15.25 or less and the Trane XL15i comes in at 16.0 or less. Other specs match and include:
- A 74 on the noise measurement scale
- A 9.0 HSPF
- An out-of-the-crate 12-year warrant on coil, compressor and parts.
- An optional extended warranty is also available.
These units are designed for Trane HVAC Gilbert install in mid-size to large homes or offices. They also work well under certain commercial requirements.
Ultra Efficiency Units: Trane XL16i and Trane XL20i
You may, by now, have noticed that each increase in efficiency and performance also includes an increase in the model numbering system. Trane Energy Star rated Ultra efficiency systems provide top HSPF ranging from 9.0 to 9.2. The cooling range for the Trane XL16i is 17.00 SEER. The Trane XL20i puts out a 19.00 SEER rating. The XL20i also includes dual compressors for two-stage operation.
Both units provide:
- Nominal sound reading as low as 74
- A limited 12-year warranty on the compressor
- A 10-year warranty on the coil and functional parts
- Durable construction
- Top-line energy efficiency.
