Our XLi outdoor product lines have higher air conditioning efficiencies (SEER) ranges than the XB line. Some of the enhanced features include Trane's patented WeatherGuard™ top that provides maximum protection for the outdoor condenser coil, a compressor sound enclosure for quiet performance, a two-speed condenser fan that improves both efficiency and sound levels, and twice the original limited warranty as the XB outdoor product line.

In the summer, a heat pump works in exactly the same way as an air conditioner, i.e., cooling your home or office by moving heat from the inside to the outside. In the winter, a heat pump operates in “reverse”, moving heat from the outside to the inside of your home or office. Even though it feels "cold" outside during the winter, there is still plenty of heat in the air that can be captured by a heat pump. See similar questions...

The industry sound rating numbers are complicated and often difficult to understand. Sound rating is just one of these areas. A difference of 6 decibels (such as between 72 dB and 78 dB) is technically a four-fold increase in compressor sound when rating air conditioners or heat pump units. However, it takes a difference of 10 decibels to double the loudness. It is also noted that it takes approximately 3 decibels for the average human ear to discern any difference in loudness at all.

Air conditioners work by transferring heat from inside your home to outside, effectively lowering the indoor temperature. Heat pumps work exactly the same way in the summer, but in the winter they can reverse the temperature exchange, providing one of the most efficient forms of heat available. See similar questions...

If you have a system that has been properly sized for your home and you keep it properly maintained, it should last as many as 15 years with minimum problems. But if the size is incorrect or the unit is maintained only when it breaks, the lifetime can easily be reduced by five or more years. See similar questions...

A 12 SEER heat pump and a 12 SEER air conditioner would cost the very same to operate during the cooling season. There is no difference during the cooling months. See similar questions...

For a basic cooling air-conditioner, its purpose is to supply the cool air to the room. In the particular refrigeration circuit, refrigerants circulate in the equipment repeating the processes of compression, condensation, expansion and evaporation and back to compression in order to remove the warm air inside refrigerant device by using a four way valve to reverse the flow of the refrigerants. In the reversed cycle, See similar questions...

This is a supplemental source of heat provided by a resistance element inside the A/C unit. Basically it is a strip of wire that heats up when electricity is applied. These will generally take the chill off of your pop up, but should not be counted on as your only heat source in cold climates. The only things you really need to worry about with the air conditioning unit is where the condensation water will run off to and remembering to clean the filter. See similar questions...

The refrigerant in your air conditioner or heat pump system is a chemical known as HCFC-22 (Hydrochlorofluorocarbon). It contains hydrogen, chlorine, fluorine, and carbon. CFC's (Chlorofluorocarbons) contain chlorine, fluorine and carbon. CFC's are used as refrigerants in small appliances and automobiles. CFC's are very stable and do not break down in the lower atmosphere. They can remain in the atmosphere for 100 years or more. See similar questions...

If your Heat Pump appears to under perform - the first thing to try is cleaning the filters with your vacuum cleaner. These need to be cleaned once a fortnight. Simply by cleaning the filters can make a huge difference. See similar questions...

They are very different. The portable air coolers are designed to cool your personal space and are not true air conditioners. Air cooler uses the evaporation of water to cool the air. The heat in the air was absorbed by moisture evaporation. It can bring down about 10F from the direct air stream. It is a good way to cool the dry area. Air cooler does not require vent like air conditioner. See similar questions...

It is impractical to use solar-generated electricity to heat water because a solar water heating system is a far more cost effective choice. Similarly, operating an AC is best accomplished with solar thermal strategies or equipment for the task such as passive solar home designs or transpired collectors, for example. Your savings will be specific to your circumstances. Generally, all over India there is good sunlight for at least 10 months in a year. See similar questions...

A single stage furnace will deliver the same amount of heat and airflow no matter what the temperature is outside. A 2-stage furnace with a 2-stage thermostat will begin in first stage (low burner, low airflow) and only go to second stage if the indoor temperature drops during first stage. This makes the furnace run longer, providing greater air circulation, temperature distribution, and air filtration. This also provides a more consistent indoor environment. See similar questions...
