Trane XR15 install - two stage?
Comments (16)opakm....sorry for the late response. The state rebate information can be found on: http://www.texaspowerfulsmart.org/rebate/ However, it ended right after I had my system installed. I'm sorry. I LOVE my system. I am very happy that I got it. I have noticed a huge difference in the comfort of my home and my utility bill. My bills are around $80-$100 less a month....and I keep my house about 3-4 degrees cooler (about 74-75). I have since added solar screens (highly recommend....as long as you don't mind your house being a bit darker) and some insulation in the attic. I haven't had an electric bill since I've had that installed...and I will try to post how much it all has saved me. Honestly though, it's not all about the cost savings, but the comfort that my family and I have with the new system. Which system did you end up getting? How has it turned out for you?...See More4 Ton vs 5 Ton; 2 stage vs 1 stage condenser
Comments (53)The furnace model number with the XR16 is an XC80. Very similar to the XV80 but communicating. Must be a mistake. TCONT803 is a fine thermostat to use with the XR16 air conditioner and furnace. Overall, I do not agree with the equipment matchups proposed with the furnaces and air conditioners. Oversized furnace on both systems, and oversized coil to achieve marginal efficiency gains on the XR16 system. I realize you may not understand all the implications of oversized equipment, but it is a big deal for comfort, efficiency and reliability. All things considered I still recommend the heat pump system. This post was edited by ryanhughes on Wed, Apr 24, 13 at 13:54...See Moreis this equip tax credit eligible on ahri website?
Comments (2)You can rule out the first one, not a variable speed blower. You won't get 16/13 with the standard blower. Also, the rules on 3rd party coils like Aspen are changing next week. So even if the Aspen qualifies, the ratings will be gone by I think the 16th. The AHRI is tightening up on high ratings by the coil makers. Right now there are matches with Aspen but they will probably disappear soon. I also see no matches with the XV80 and 15i. Only with the single stage 80 and the high efficiency fan motor....See MoreHybrid System - Trane vs Bryant, Trane XL15I vs XL16I HP
Comments (82)I'm still waiting for a response from the Contractor, who has been sick the last few days, and I am still pushing for the HW Vision Pro IAQ Stat to be installed. Another question. I am thinking about going with the Air Handler with Heat Strips as the backup system to the Heatpump, instead of having the Gas Furnace. The main reasons for going with the Air Handler and Heat Strips is because the Effeciency ratings are actually higher for the Heatpumps with this configuration, and according to the Contractor the Air Handler and Heat Strips are less complex and should have fewer problems. My question is two fold. 1 - Do you agree with that statement and do you think going with the Air Handler and Heat Strips over the Gas Furnace is a good idea? 2 - Any feedback on what we can expect for the Heat that the Heat Strips put out, vs what we would have with the Gas Furnace? My wife is not thrilled with the so called "Heat" from our existing Heatpump, but that should be better with these new Heatpumps. But she Loves the Warmth of the Gas Furnace when that kicks in, and she wants to make sure that we aren't giving that up by going with Heat Strips vs the Gas Furnace. So any additional advice and input would be greatly appreciated since we have no experience with Air Handlers and Heat Strips as a backup heat source. Thanks!...See Morehvtech42
