Stages

Stages & speeds

One-stage systems are the most common, and only operate at a single speed. Your unit will turn off when your home reaches the desired temperature. An example of this is turning a light switch on and off.

Two-stage systems alternate between a low and high speed for better comfort and efficiency. Your unit will turn off when your home reaches the desired temperature. An example of this would be a light switch with two settings.

Variable speed systems vary their speed to provide the highest level of comfort and efficiency. These types of units run more continuously to provide the ideal temperature.

Modulating systems work like a dimmer light switch with a variety of adjustable settings. They automatically adjust the amount of gas that is being delivered in a furnace.

Your product runs at different stages, or levels of output, to reach your desired temperature.

Noise Level

Noise level

These are sound levels under perfect conditions. Higher decibels [dB(A)] means the unit is louder. Lower decibels [(dBA)] mean a system is quieter.

Relevant sound comparisons are:

  1. 80 = Garbage disposal
  2. 70 = Vacuum cleaner; upper 70s can be loud for some
  3. 60 = Background music
  4. 50 = Quiet suburb or quiet home conversation
  5. 40 = Library

70 decibels compares to a vacuum cleaner. Upper 70s can be loud for some.

Energy Savings

ENERGY STAR®

ENERGY STAR® certified products can help you save energy and protect the environment. They meet or exceed specific efficiency ratings set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These ratings often exceed the federal minimum standards.

Energy savings

The percent shows how much you may save with that unit compared to an older 10 SEER unit. The percent compares the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratings (SEER) of the old and new units. Higher SEER ratings mean your unit is more energy efficient.

We compare against a 10 SEER unit because that was the minimum allowed rating up to 2006. There’s a good chance that units being currently replaced due to old age are 10 SEER.

More energy-efficient models save you energy and monthly costs

Efficiency Rating

Efficiency rating: SEER

SEER2, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2, is the total heat removed from the conditioned space during the annual cooling season. The new M1 testing procedure will increase systems' external static pressure by a factor of five to better reflect field conditions of installed equipment.

Variable speed products and features

Variable speed systems require both a variable speed air conditioner or heat pump and a compatible variable speed air handler or furnace. Communication between the two units is essential for your variable speed system to run smoothly, so our units come with Trane Link Communication built in.

A home heating and cooling system is a complex system that requires specialized skills to properly install and maintain. While initial costs may seem high, a properly installed Trane HVAC system could last over 10 years. With its energy saving features, your system may actually save you money over time.

How long a new system lasts depends on factors like usage, climate, product quality and the installer’s skills. However, properly installed HVAC products are expected to last:

  • Air Conditioners: 12-15 years
  • Furnaces: 15-20 years
  • Heat Pumps: 15-20 years
