That’s why we’re happy to announce that we’ve updated our Trane product line to feature four brand new gas furnaces. These models are more efficient and sophisticated than ever before, providing unmatched comfort and ease of use.

Meet Our New Gas Furnaces

Trane S9V2 Gas Furnace

Top Benefits: 

• High efficiency. An out of date furnace can have a fuel efficiency that ranges between 55% and 70%. Compare this to the S9V2, with an efficiency rate of 96%, and it’s clear that newer is better. Less energy waste means lower heating bills throughout winter.
• Noise reduction technology. The S9V2 is equipped with a specially designed, patented variable speed blower and variable speed draft inducer. This innovation, called the Vortica™II, allows for this furnace to do its job without making disruptive HVAC noises like knocking, hissing, and more.
• Comfort-R™ enhanced dehumidification. Comfort-R™ is a new, proprietary process included in some of the latest Trane model speed blowers. It allows for advanced humidity control, which gives you the opportunity to maximize dehumidification based on you and your home’s specific needs and characteristics.

Price Range: Between $4,500 – $5,800 including installation. Installation may vary depending on the size of your home, location, and more. Utility rebates may apply.

Efficiency Rating: The S9V2 is Energy Star qualified due to its 96% AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating.

Bottom Line: The Trane S9V2 Gas Furnace is ideal for people who consider efficiency to be a top priority. It delivers the heating power you need with additional features making it quieter and more energy friendly than past comparable models.

Trane S9X1 Gas Furnace

Top Benefits:

• Long-lasting reliability. The materials that go into the construction of the S9X1 Gas Furnace go through rigorous testing. This testing ensures that the unit can stand up to the test of time as well as regular wear and tear.

• Single stage operation. Single stage operation means that your heater is always working to keep you comfortably warm. It doesn’t provide as much flexibility as two-stage or modulating furnaces, but makes up for that with a reduced price tag.

• High efficiency. This unit’s high efficiency comes from two things. First, it’s Energy Star qualification thanks to it’s high fuel saving rating. Second, because of it’s electronically commutated motor (ECM) that allows for quiet, efficient operation. Together, they bring your heating costs down by using less fuel and, when it does use fuel, doing so in a selective and strategic manner.

Price Range: Between $3,800 – $4,800 including installation. Installation may vary depending on the size of your home, location, and more. Utility rebates may apply.

Efficiency Rating: The S9XI is Energy Star qualified due to its 96% AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating.

Bottom Line: The S9XI Gas Furnace is for people who want a higher efficiency furnace but aren’t yet ready to commit to the very tippy top of the line. It’s reliable, functional, durable, and — most importantly — will keep you warm.

Trane S8X2 Gas Furnace

Top Benefits:

• Flexible heating capabilities. The S8X2 Gas Furnace uses a two-stage heating design. This means that it can switch between high and low heat output for consistent, customizable temperature. It keeps the furnace from constantly stopping and starting, making it more efficient than a single-stage counterpart.
• Quiet operation. A single-stage furnace has to stop and start frequently, which is the main source of furnace operation noise. When a furnace using two-stage heating like the S8X2, there are less frequent starts and stops, in turn making it a quieter unit.
• Durability. When you buy a new gas furnace, you want it to last you for many years. That’s nearly a guarantee when you purchase an S8X2. All pieces of construction are tested thoroughly to ensure they live up to the high standards of efficiency and reliability that Trane requires.

Price Range:  Between $3,800 – $4,600 including installation. Installation may vary depending on the size of your home, location, and more. Utility rebates may apply.

Efficiency Rating: The S8X2 has an 80% AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating.
