Energy Efficiency
Trane Super Efficiency XL15i is a perfect example of reliability and sound engineering at its best. It comes with low operational cost. With this heat pump, you are guaranteed topnotch comfort even through the warmest or coldest days at a fraction of a cost. Its efficient performance and economical operation is undeniable with its SEER or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio rating reaching to a maximum of 16 and HSPF reaching to a maximum of 9.0.

Quiet Operation
Heat pumps are notorious in making obnoxiously loud rumbling noises when running. With the XL15i, you will not have to worry about this. In fact, of all the single-stage systems in the Trane line, XL15i holds the crown for being able to operate at the lowest sound level. It is truly surprising to see how something so irrefutably powerful can be so astonishingly quiet. This is a valuable feature to customers, who want comfort and a quiet environment, instead of the inconvenience of having a loud noisemaker in the background.
Durability
All the components of the Trane Super Efficiency XL15i are designed to withstand harsh environment and other hazards. Rigorous tests were conducted to guarantee the system’s reliability and enduring performance. Longer service life easily translates to savings, since the unit may not need to be replaced in the near future.
Option to Add Trane CleanEffects™
Another great feature of the XL15i is that you can opt to add Trane CleanEffects™, a revolutionary air filtration system, which is currently setting the bar for clean indoor air. Unlike other regular air cleaners with extremely dense filters that limit the flow of air, Trane CleanEffects™ allows air to flow freely. This enables the filtration system to clean the air in a more efficient manner. By opting to include this advanced air filtration system in their XL15i unit, you can enjoy a conditioned air free from allergens and irritants.
