Air delivery perfectly sized to your home
The benefits of a variable-speed motor in a gas furnace or air handler are many. The motors used in our systems are programmed to provide a consistent flow of cool or warm air. Sufficient airflow is assured even if the filters get dirty or registers are closed, the drive module immediately detects these conditions and increases the rpm of the motor. This unique feature of speed variability ensures compressor reliability, proper system capacity and airflow distribution through the duct system. But the benefits you will see, hear and feel are more consistent comfort, quieter operation and better dehumidification. CUSTOMIZE YOUR SYSTEM
Staged heating and cooling
Instead of operating on a single, full-blast speed, a multiple-stage system operates efficiently at the lower stage most of the time. On extremely hot or cold days, it switches to a higher stage to maintain comfort. Because of this, staged heating and cooling puts an end to temperature swings. And, since the system operates at a slower speed much of the time, conditioned air is better distributed throughout the entire home, enhancing comfort and indoor air quality.
Comfort-R™ and dehumidification
When variable-speed is combined with two compressor systems, airflow delivery can be programmed to deliver 50% airflow during first stage operation and 100% during second stage. This managed process is called Comfort-R and it's pre-set by your installer. During cooling, the motor ramps up slowly—the slow movement of air allows the comfort coil to cool quickly which means more moisture is extracted from the air. This dehumidification feature removes six times the amount of moisture that a standard system can. It also provides more immediate comfort, allowing a home to get cooler faster.
Enhanced indoor air quality
With variable-speed technology, a constant flow of conditioned air moves through a home, providing a cleaner indoor air environment. For the ultimate clean air experience, match your variable speed unit with the revolutionary TRANE CleanEffects™ whole-home air filtration system, capable of removing up to 99.98% of the irritating particles and allergens from your filtered indoor air.
