Heat Pump and Furnace

Also known as a hybrid system, a heat pump and furnace system is one of the many energy efficient options for a matched system.

The matched system

1. Heat Pump

Unlike a furnace, a heat pump doesn't burn fuel to make heat. It simply uses electricity to move heat from one place to another. A heat pump is an energy efficient way to cool your home in the summer and heat it in the winter. Today's heat pumps are required to have a minimum HSPF of 8 and a SEER of at least 13.00. Trane offers a full line of heat pumps that range from 8 to 10.55 HSPF, and 13.00 to 17.90 SEER. Trane's 17.90 SEER XL19i heat pump offers you even greater control of your home's indoor climate with two-stage air conditioning and three-stage heating. This means it operates at low speed most of the time. However, on days when more heating or air conditioning is required, it switches to the next stage for maximum comfort.

2. Indoor Cooling Coil

To deliver the highest system efficiency, performance and climate control, an indoor cooling coil must be matched in size and rated with your air conditioner. Use a Trane coil with your Trane system for optimum reliability.

3. Furnace

Trane furnaces are uniquely designed to provide maximum heat with minimum fuel usage. And they think for themselves. Key furnace-control functions are integrated into one microelectronic system that monitors the thermostat and gas valve, ensuring precise temperature control. The current minimum AFUE requirement for furnaces is 78 percent. Trane offers a full line of single stage, two stage, and two stage variable-speed furnaces that range from 80 % to 96.7 % AFUE.

4. Air Cleaner

An air cleaner is an integral part of a home comfort system, filtering dust and pollutants out of the air you breathe, and keeping your rugs and home furnishings cleaner, as well. Reduced pollen, dust, pet dander, smoke, etc., could help reduce allergy and asthma discomfort. A Trane CleanEffects™ air filtration system is up to 99.98% effective.

5. Thermostat

The control center for your home comfort system. Trane's digital, programmable Comfort Controls give you precise temperature control and allows you to program your heating and air conditioning requirements depending upon your daily activities and schedule.
