FAQs

What is the SEER rating of Trane XR 15? ›

The XR15 has a SEER2 rating of 15.6 and HSPF2 up to 8.1, which makes it a great choice for an energy efficient home.

The Trane 16 SEER XR15 is Energy Star-rated. R-410A refrigerant is used with this Trane 16 SEER system as an eco-friendly alternative to R-22.

Most homeowners opt for a unit with a SEER rating between 15 and 18. This is because it provides a good balance between the upfront cost of the unit and the amount you'll save on your utility bills.

Given that a 20 SEER unit cost nearly $5,000 more than a 13 in our online shopping, the jump may not be worth it, unless your home is enormous, your electricity remarkably expensive, or you live in Death Valley. As we mentioned above, you're better off getting a low SEER heat pump than a high SEER AC unit.

In general, air conditioners that are properly maintained can last 15 to 20 years.

But how do Carrier and Trane compare? Between the two, you get a higher base rating from Trane, but Carrier's Infinity line has a significantly higher SEER rating. Both Carrier and Trane use the same refrigerant called R-410A for reliable and efficient operations.

If you have a 1,200-square-foot home, you'd need a two-ton unit. A 2,400-square-foot home would need a four-ton unit. Again, there are 2.5-ton and 3.5-ton units in case your square footage doesn't work out perfectly for a two- or three-ton unit, for instance.

The Lifestory Research 2024 America's Most Trusted® HVAC System Study found Trane to be the most trusted brand among people considering the purchase of an HVAC System. With the Net Trust Quotient Score of 116.4, Trane had the highest trust rating among the most popular HVAC System brands.

Energy Efficiency

In a head-to-head comparison of Trane vs. Lennox, Lennox wins in the energy efficiency category. Lennox units come in a range of SEER ratings from 13-28. That 13 SEER rating is being retired to comply with new minimum standards, but a rating of 28 is the best the industry has to offer.

How do I know my Trane SEER rating? ›

How To Find The SEER Rating. Head over to your cooling system and look for a yellow and black “energyguide” sticker, which can usually be located on the side of the condenser. If this sticker is still in tact, it will tell you the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio in large numbers.

For example, if you have a 14 SEER air conditioner, this will equate to 13.4 SEER2. If you have a 16 SEER unit, this will be the equivalent of 15.2 SEER2.

Trane offers three levels of products: XV, XR, and XL. While the XV series features Trane's most energy-efficient models and latest technologies, the XR offers the best value, according to the company.

For example, the seer rating of 20-year old air conditioner systems is likely to be between 10 to 12 whereas a newer unit purchased this year would have an average SEER rating of 15 or more.
