Trane is among the industry leaders in the air conditioner world for good reason. Trane air conditioner prices are competitive and its products have earned a reputation for reliability throughout the company's complete line. This reputation is backed by a 10-year minimum warranties on nearly every part of any Trane air conditioner.

Trane, like most air conditioning manufacturers, does not list prices on its website. Trane air conditioner prices fluctuate depending on numerous factors: the company sells the systems wholesale at different rates to contractors throughout the world. What you end up paying is a combination of the price of the unit and the installation cost.

This guide is meant as an overview of estimated Trane air conditioner prices, including installation and the wholesale unit cost. What you pay may end up varying from the prices listed below, depending on your needs and location.

SEER, or seasonal energy efficiency ratio, is the primary factor that determines long-term energy savings. It defines how much energy is converted into cold air by describing the cooling output in Btu’s divided by the total energy output in watt-hours. If you’re comparing central air conditioners with different SEER ratings, we recommend Energy Star’s efficiency calculator in Excel format.

TRANE AIR CONDITIONER PRICES

The Top of the Line

About: The following two systems are the premier systems and carry a premier price tag. However, with the combination of high efficiency and other beneficial aspects, they may be worth the additional cost. Note that the varying stage cooling offered by these two systems can also drastically reduce energy usage and humidity by allowing the air conditioner to operate at 100% capacity or 67% capacity. Single-stage systems only operate at 100% capacity.

The Reliable Mid-Range

About: Trane air conditioner prices for these mid-range systems are more reasonable than the premier systems, but lack the shiny amenities of Trane’s top-of-the-line systems. That said, these still offer excellent efficiency that should help reduce your energy bills throughout those sweltering summer months.
