The Highest Level of Energy Efficient, Clean Comfort

When you choose a Trane XLi heat pump, you’ll enjoy highly efficient heating and clean comfort. XLi air source heat pumps are designed and engineered to meet rigid specifications, tested to assure excellent performance, and manufactured to last. These heating systems are ideal for maintaining home heat in colder climates by using the existing heat in the environment. Each model is designed to deliver exceptional reliability and energy efficiency all day, all night, for years to come. 

As a mechanical unit, breakdowns are bound to occur, but in our experience, they’re much less likely with Trane vs. other brands. This reliability makes these types of pumps an excellent choice for those considering installing an air source heat pump system. When the inevitable does happen, rest assured your Trane repair experts in the Twin Cities are only a call away.

Trane XLi air source heat pumps range from 14 to 17 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and 8.8 to 9.2 HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Standard), both exceeding the minimum efficiency ratings as established by the federal government. The higher the ratings, the more efficient the unit—and the more money you save! Trane Climatuff® compressors provide consistent, quiet performance for maximum comfort, and a Spine Fin™ outdoor coil maintains greater efficiency than industry-standard coils.

When matched with a variable-speed Trane furnace, the system will deliver consistent, quiet comfort by automatically adjusting to eliminate cold spots and the noise that standard units make when they start up or shut down. And, since the fan can operate at low speeds, it improves air circulation, humidity control, and energy efficiency. In other words, this heating mode optimizes the electrical energy it consumes.

Trane XL19i: Ultra-Efficient, Quiet Performance

Trane XL19i heat pumps feature dual Climatuff® compressors offering quiet, efficient performance at the lowest speed when temperatures are mild; in extreme conditions, they automatically switch to the next stage to deliver continuous comfort. A variable-speed fan motor provides ultra efficiency and quieter performance, and with a SEER of up to 17.9 and a HSPF of up to 8.8, the XL19i delivers all-season comfort while keeping your energy costs down. These units are perfect for space heating even in colder weather, making them great for cold climate regions.

Trane XL16i: Energy-Conscious Temperature Control

The Trane XL16i heat pump features a two-stage Climatuff® compressor for heating and cooling to prevent temperature swings, so your comfort is guaranteed. This makes the XL16i a great alternative to a central air conditioner, providing high energy efficiency and saving you money. With up to a 17 SEER and 9.2 HSPF, the XL16i is an energy-conscious choice for your family’s comfort. 

Trane XL15i: The Most Energy-Efficient Single-Stage Heat Pump

With up to 16.5 SEER and 9 HSPF, the Trane XL15i is the most energy-efficient, single-stage heat pump available. Like ground source heat pumps and traditional split systems, the XL15i is very quiet, so it maintains a tranquil environment while keeping your home comfortable and cool. 

Trane XL14i: Energy-Efficient, Reliable Comfort

The Trane XL14i heat pump features low-resistance airflow for reliable comfort. With up to 15 SEER and 9 HSPF, the XL14i is an energy-efficient, single-stage heat pump solution. This type of heat pump is designed with low-resistance airflow for reliable comfort. What does this mean for you? It means that your heat pump operates smoothly and consistently, delivering a comfortable indoor environment regardless of the season or outside temperature.

Air Source Heat Pumps: FAQ

When it comes to furnaces and heat pumps, it can be easy for the uninitiated to get confused. To help clear up that confusion, we’ve shared the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions about air source heat pumps.

Is it worth getting an air source heat pump?

Yes, getting an air source heat pump can be worth it for many homeowners. Air source heat pumps are efficient heating and cooling systems that extract heat from the outdoor air and transfer it indoors during winter, and vice versa in summer. They offer benefits such as energy savings, reduced carbon footprint, and year-round comfort.

While the initial investment may be higher than traditional systems, the long-term cost savings on energy bills and potential incentives or rebates make them a viable and environmentally friendly option to consider. It’s recommended to assess your specific climate, energy costs, and home’s heating and cooling needs to determine if an air source heat pump is a suitable choice for you.

What are the pros and cons of heat pumps?

Pros:

Energy Efficiency: Heat pumps are highly efficient, as they transfer heat rather than generate it, resulting in lower energy consumption and reduced utility bills.

Heating and Cooling: Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling capabilities, eliminating the need for separate systems and offering year-round comfort.

Environmentally Friendly: Heat pumps produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuel-based heating systems, contributing to a more sustainable environment.

Safety: Heat pumps do not involve combustion, eliminating the risks associated with gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning.


Cons:

Initial Cost: Heat pumps generally have a higher upfront cost than traditional heating and cooling systems, which can be a deterrent for some homeowners.

Climate Dependence: Heat pump efficiency may vary depending on the outdoor temperature. In extremely cold climates, supplemental heating may be required.

Space Requirement: Heat pumps require sufficient outdoor space for installation, as they need an outdoor unit to operate.

Regular Maintenance: Heat pumps require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance, including filter cleaning/replacement and professional servicing.

Are air source heat pumps noisy?

No, air source heat pumps are generally not noisy. Modern air source heat pump systems are designed with noise reduction features, such as insulated compressors and sound-dampening technology. While they do produce some sound during operation, it is typically comparable to background noise levels and shouldn’t cause any significant disturbances.

It’s important to note that proper installation and regular maintenance also play a role in minimizing noise levels. Overall, air source heat pumps are designed to operate quietly and provide comfortable indoor environments without creating excessive noise.

Can I heat my whole house with a heat pump?

Yes, you can heat your whole house with a heat pump. Heat pumps are designed to provide efficient heating for residential spaces of various sizes. They work by extracting heat from the outside air, ground, or water source and transferring it indoors. The heat is distributed throughout the house via ductwork or through the use of ductless mini-split systems.

Heat pumps can effectively heat multiple rooms or even an entire house, depending on the capacity and configuration of the system. It’s important to properly size the heat pump to match the heating load of your home and ensure proper installation for optimal performance and comfort.

How long does a heat pump last?

On average, a well-maintained heat pump can last between 10 to 15 years. However, with proper care and regular maintenance, some heat pumps have been known to operate efficiently for up to 20 years or more. The lifespan of a heat pump can vary depending on factors such as usage patterns, maintenance practices, quality of installation, and environmental conditions.

It’s important to schedule regular professional maintenance, keep the system clean, and address any issues promptly to maximize the lifespan of your heat pump. Regularly monitoring the performance and efficiency of the system can help identify any potential problems early on and extend its overall lifespan.

These guys were my second call when my furnace stopped working properly. The first company I used sent a tech out who said the furnace needed to be replaced, and gave me a quote, but said he "jiggled a wire" and got it running again for the time being.

When it went out again the other day, I called Ray N. Welter. Their tech, Ralph, fixed the problem in half an hour. He told me the furnace is pretty old, but his fix should get me through the winter "and maybe a couple more," and then gave me a quote that was lower than the first company.

These guys are rad.

Furnace stopped working. When that happens after hours you learn a lot about companies. Today I called RW and got a person on the phone that knows about furnaces and he dispatched a service person Phil within 2 hours. I called them based on personal refer and reviews. They are excellent. Despite having a very old furnace it was the second time that this company said I did not need to replace. If I did replace it I want a Trane and RW would do to the work. For now I will call them for fall/spring tune ups and love that they don't have the club memberships etc. Just good solid customer service for all customers. A really ++ experience. Family run business with integrity.

If you need superior service this is your company!!! We were in Florida experiencing our first year as "snowbirds" when our furnace (in Bloomington) stopped working. Rick Welter personally took our call and not only sent a technician to our cold home, but checked on it for the next two days until our new heating unit could be properly installed. Phenomenal service!

In addition to the great service, their pricing was very competitive. I highly recommend this company for all of your heating or A/C needs!!!
