Save money while saving energy
You could save more than $500 each year¹ by making more efficient choices with your HVAC system. Under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, Congress approved HVAC tax credits and heat pump rebates to help homeowners cover the cost of replacing aging, inefficient systems with more energy-efficient, green heating and cooling systems.
Try a smart thermostat
Save up to 10% on your energy bills² with a smart thermostat. Automatically adjust your home’s temperature by 8 – 10 degrees while away or sleeping, and watch the savings add up.
Take control with the Trane Home App
Connect our smart thermostats to our Trane Home App and control your home’s comfort from your mobile device. Track your system’s energy use and adjust your home’s temperature virtually anywhere, anytime.
Consider an Electric HVAC System
Join in the move to electric heat and away from burning fossil fuels by switching from a gas furnace to an all-electric heating and cooling system can lower your carbon footprint and help you save on energy bills. Electric heat pumps can sustainably and effectively heat your home. For colder climates, consider a dual-fuel heating system for optimal comfort and savings..

Breathe easier
Your home’s air quality is just as important as its temperature. Clean air can reduce your exposure to certain
viruses, pollutants, and particles that trigger asthma.
Understand energy ratings
When looking for energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, you will probably come across these terms. Learn what they mean to help you make informed decisions.
Try these energy savers
Families spend nearly $2,000 per year⁴ on average on their energy bills. You could save money and boost your
home’s energy efficiency with a few simple tricks.
Get a home energy audit to maximize energy savings
Before you buy a new HVAC system, get a home energy audit or home energy assessment from an outside company to see where some simple home improvements can help your system run more efficiently while increasing your comfort at the same time. Making small changes now can mean big energy savings for years to come.
Weatherize your home
To maximize your home’s energy efficiency, including your HVAC system, it’s important to keep conditioned air inside and hot or cold air outside. By reducing your home’s heat loss, you’ll be more comfortable and save energy at the same time. Follow the weatherization recommendations from your energy audit. These can include sealing cracks, improving insulation, and more. The energy-efficient home improvement tax credit can help you pay for these upgrades.
Upgrade to a smart thermostat
Upgrading to a smart thermostat makes it easy to set and maintain energy-saving thermostat settings. When you’re at home, consider setting your thermostat at 78 ℉ in the summer and 68 ℉ in the winter. This is easier to do with an energy-efficient HVAC system. You can raise or lower the temperature setting when you’re away from home or asleep. Some smart thermostats will learn your preferences and come with geofencing to adjust the temperature when you’re on your way home. You stay comfortable while saving on energy costs and conserving energy.
Control heat transfer with curtains
Curtains keep heat from traveling through your windows. In the summer, pull curtains closed on the sunny side of your home to stop excess warmth from seeping in. In the winter, open your drapes to let the sun help warm your home during the day and close them again at night.
Install energy efficient lighting
According to ENERGY STAR®, homeowners dedicate nearly 11% of their energy budget to lighting their homes. Using efficient, ENERGY STAR®-qualified LED light bulbs can reduce your energy use by up to 90% over standard bulbs. LED bulbs also produce less heat, which can help with air conditioning efficiency.
Use smart power strips
Installing a smart power strip is a great way to save energy. Your electronics continue to use power when plugged into an outlet, even if they’re “off.” Smart power strips turn power off completely or only let peripherals turn on when a main unit, such as a TV or computer, is on. This prevents these “energy vampire” devices from using energy when they’re sitting idle, which saves you money on your electric bill.
Save money and energy with Inflation Reduction Act tax credits and heat pump rebates
Leaning into the electrification of heat and going green with an electric heat pump system can save you money on your monthly energy bills for years to come as well as reduce your carbon emissions.
Under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, Congress approved HVAC tax credits and heat pump rebates to help homeowners cover the cost of replacing aging, inefficient systems with more energy-efficient systems.
Federal heat pump tax credits are available no matter where you live. Different states have different eligibility requirements for heat pump rebates and any necessary electrical upgrades. Visit our Offers, Rebates, and Tax Credits page to find incentives available in your area.
Refrigerant Innovation for a Better Tomorrow
Industry regulations require a switch to a more sustainable refrigerant to reduce negative climate impact.
Because of our commitment to sustainability and a greener planet, Trane has led research to find an alternative refrigerant with a lower global warming potential (GWP) than R-410A and no ozone depletion potential (ODP).
After thorough research and testing, Trane has dedicated countless hours of research to identify and evaluate lower GWP alternatives and concluded that the most sustainable and future-proof alternative is R-454B. This refrigerant is safer for our environment and helps our systems run much more efficiently.
R-454B refrigerant has already demonstrated exceptional performance during Trane’s field trials in the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Cold Climate Heat Pump Challenge. By rigorously testing products and introducing the latest innovations, Trane has been able to surpass the DOE’s requirement for high-efficiency heating in freezing temperatures.
All in all, R-454B offers an excellent, more sustainable alternative to the older R-410A refrigerant which has a higher GWP. Plus, design features on many of the new products help systems operate more efficiently and contribute to energy savings.
Our Gigaton Challenge
Trane Technologies™ has launched the Gigaton Challenge. Our goal is to reduce
one gigaton of carbon emissions from our residential and commercial customers’ carbon footprints by 2030.
A gigaton equals the total amount of carbon produced by Italy, France,
and the U.K. combined each year!
How We Will Meet the Challenge
We are providing heating, cooling, and refrigeration solutions that displace fossil fuel use and dramatically enhance energy efficiency and deploying these solutions at scale to help mitigate the risks that a warming world poses. Our actions are already making an impact. Since 2019, our reductions are equivalent to 93 million mtCO2 e.
Building a more sustainable future
We are constantly creating more efficient products for our customers. You can help us change the world by making small adjustments at home, whether that’s turning off the lights before you head out for the day, adjusting your thermostat, or upgrading to a more efficient heating and cooling system for your home.
