Trane Air Conditioners

How Many Tons is my Trane Air Conditioner?

You can easily identify the nominal size of your Trane Air Conditioner and Heat Pump through checking out the model number. This Trane Model Number is usually the data plate at the side of the condenser in outdoor unit. Then find the lable that provides the info about your Trane AC Tonnage.

What is AC Tonnage?

Heating and air conditioning capacities are sized in British thermal units (BTU) per hour. One BTU is equal to the heat generated by an one little candle. It’s the volume of heat required to bring up the temperature of one pound of water by one degree.

The word tonnage is used to describe the cooling capacity of an air conditioner. One ton of cooling is the rate of heat transfer needed to freeze 2,000 lbs – or one ton – of water in 24 hours. This is equivalent to 12,000 Btu/hr.

Why is AC Tonnage Important?

In some cases, bigger size is better. But when it comes to air conditioners, in some cases less is more. You should never simply buy the biggest AC unit possible, or you could end up with an oversized system.

Where to find Trane AC Tonnage?

You should look for the last two numbers of the first numbers after a cluster of letters at the beginning of the model number. It will be a number divisible by 6 or 12, and represents the nominal BTU of the system in thousands. A ton of air conditioning equals 12,000 BTU, and 36 divided by 12 equals 3, so the data plate below indicates the system is 3 tons.

Trane is the only brand we are familiar with that occasionally lists a two-digit number for the thousands of BTU rating that is not divisible by 6 or 12—but close.

Here’s a rundown of the range you will encounter: 18 = 1.5 tons, 24 = 2 tons, 30 – 2.5 tons, 36 = 3 tons, 42 = 3.5 tons, 48 = 4 tons, and 60 = 5 tons. And this is another one that is 2.5 tons.

In case you are doubting whether you have found the right two numbers, you can double check it by checking for the RLA rating. Its located the same on the data plate. RLA is an acronym for Rated Load Amperage, and is what the maximum amperage should be when the condenser up and running. If you divide the RLA by 6 for older units and 5 or 6 for newer units, you should get a number that approximates the tonnage of the system.

It can cost as much as $15,000 to replace an old Trane Air Conditioner unit. The final price depends on which unit you choose, the cost of installation and additional items such as ductwork repair.

Trane Air Conditioner My Honest Reviews

Trane air conditioners come with a number of great features and bonuses, plus they’re a premium brand, so this means their cooling systems are more expensive than competitor brands. If you’re looking for a more affordable option, then you likely won’t find anything in Trane’s lineup that fits your budget.

I personally use two brands of AC in my house and Trane Air Conditioner is one of them. So if your budget allows Trane is worth the extra money as far as I’m concerned.

Trane XR14 Reviews

The reputation of Trane has in this HVAC industry is unparalleled. From their products being made in America to the testing of their equipment in laboratories. Trane offer the XR14 Air Conditioner line as their budget option for residential hvac systems.

Trane is an established company that takes a lot of pride in their HVAC products. If I didn’t believe this was a good product that is going to last a long time in your home without giving you problems, I wouldn’t recomend it for you.

Remember, no matter who you have install your Trane XR14 system, please make sure they know how to measure and install the correct size system for your particular home. Pick the licensed contractor in your local area that will pull a city or county permit and has a good reputation online. When you do, you’ll have better peace of mind. Cheap prices don’t usually translate to quality installs.
