The Top 3 Trane Air Conditioners for Your Money

Are you in the market for a new air conditioner? If you are, you should consider purchasing a Trane air conditioner for you and your family. Quiet, energy-efficient, and affordable, Trane air conditioners are some of the best in the industry, and you will have a variety of options to choose from when the time to buy arrives. If you are considering buying a Trane air conditioner, we’ve decided to make your job easier by selecting the top three.


​Important Features and Terms

Before shopping for a new air conditioner, there are a few important features and terms you should understand.

  • Energy Efficiency – Like any other home appliance, air conditioners need energy to function. Some air conditioners use less energy than others, often to achieve the same results. The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) allows you to measure the energy efficiency of an air conditioner. SEER ratings range from 13-22, and a higher rating indicates higher efficiency (lower energy costs). Anything 16 and above is considered high efficiency.
  • Value – You want a reasonably priced unit that will serve you for years to come. At Trane, value isn’t just defined by price. In regards to value, we want our units to deliver a high-efficiency rating and provide our customers with many of our industry-leading innovations.
  • Sound Level – Ideally, you will want an air conditioner that won’t disturb your neighbors. This is especially true if you live in an area with strict noise standards. When it comes to air conditioners, parts like motors and fans in addition to cabinet insulation can lower noise levels. Noise levels in air conditioners are measured using decibels.


By understanding the terms and features listed above, you can shop for and compare air conditioning units much easier.


Most Efficient – Trane XV20i

Wouldn’t you love to have an excellent air conditioner that didn’t raise your electricity bill? Fortunately, such an air conditioner exists. The XV20i air conditioner has the highest energy efficiency rating of all Trane products (22 SEER). With such a high energy rating, customers can expect to save up to 64% each year in energy costs. The XV20i also features our TruComfort variable-speed system to keep your home at its optimal temperature while avoiding spikes in energy consumption.


Quietest – Trane XV18

If you seek peace and quiet, you should give the XV18 air conditioner a try. It features a sound level of 57 dBA, which is 4 dB below its closest competition. Its quiet performance is the result of innovative and unique sound insulators and an integrated fan system that features a blade-down fan design to reduce sound levels and improve airflow. The unit is also Energy Star Qualified with a SEER rating of 18.


Best Value – Trane XR14

The Trane XR14 is by far the best value. With its high efficiency ratings and affordable price, you won’t be sorry if you choose this air conditioner. The unit also features a SEER rating of up to 16, so you can expect to save energy once you replace a less efficient, older unit.
