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 before they appear.

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.

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.

Seal cracks around windows and doors

Don’t let the comfort of your home slip away under your doors and windows. Use caulk or weathering tape to seal any gaps or cracks around your window frames and doorways.
An energy efficient lightbuld, which can reduce energy use by 50% to 70%

Install energy efficient lighting

According to ENREGY STAR®, homeowners dedicate nearly 11% of their energy budget to lighting their homes. Using efficient, Energy Star-qualified light bulbs can reduce your energy use by 50% to 75%.

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 to save you money on your bills.

Protecting our ozone

R22 refrigerant is banned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for its detrimental impact on the ozone.
We now use R410-A refrigerant. It’s generally accepted as safer for our ozone and helps our systems run much more efficiently.
Learn more about R410-A

Our Gigaton Challenge

Trane Technologies™ has launched the Gigaton Challenge. Our goal is to reduce one gigaton of carbon emissions from our consumers’ footprint by 2030.
A gigaton equals the total amount of carbon produced by Italy, France, and the U.K. combined each year!

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.
