Trane air conditioner – short presentation

Trane’s extensive product portfolio, developed over decades of industry leadership, provides the flexibility you need to meet your specific and individual requirements. Whether you need a cooling and/or heating capacity of 20 kW or over 10,000 kW, they will supply you with the right system.

The first step in the Trane air conditioner installation process is to determine the right A/C unit size for your home, which can range from a 1.5-ton to a 5-ton unit. In order to do so, a contractor representative will come to your house and evaluate the windows’ condition, determine your house size, how much insulation it has, and your climate.

Depending on the air conditioner model, additional features can be included, such as remote access to make it possible to access the A/C settings via a smartphone, programmable thermostats, sound-dampening features, and filter alterations.

Trane air conditioners have a unique spine-fine coil system that is made of pure aluminum and this is what increases the SEER rating and durability of the system.

And with an extensive worldwide service network and the industry’s best-trained engineers and service technicians strategically located in each country, Trane provides effective assistance in increasing reliability, improving owner costs, and reducing environmental impact to ensure that your initial investment provides a solid return from the first day of operation until the day it needs to be replaced.

What are the additional expenses?

Depending on your geographical area, the installation costs for the air conditioner will vary. In case you install the A/C unit for the first time, you may need to modify or install the ductwork as well. In this situation the installer will need to spend more time with this work, resulting in higher costs. This is also the case for the ductwork which has to be replaced.

How can I save money?
