Trane vs Carrier Home Heating Units: A comparison

When it comes to investing in your heating and air conditioning installation unit, exploring all the options available is a wise choice. However, with an influx of products and brands flooding the market, it becomes harder to make the right decision. So to help you in deciding which brand to trust with your HVAC needs, we take a look and compare two leading heating and air conditioning product providers, Trane and Carrier.

Product range

Having operated in the HVAC industry for over a century, both Trane and Carrier have amassed an extensive range of products. Both companies offer air conditioners, home heating units, gas and oil furnaces as well as advanced technology such as geothermal heating. For many homeowners, understanding what products will suit their household can be a tough decision, this is where Trane can help. The company’s website provides a ‘What is right for my home?’ feature that allows you to make a more informed decision on what product to choose. A similar version of this function can also be found with Carrier where the ‘Product Finder’ feature can help guide your decision. As mentioned earlier, the market is continuously being inundated with newer technology. Here is where Carrier presents an advantage. The company offers a range of innovative and efficient heating and cooling systems such as the Infinity Heating and Cooling System as well as the GreenspeedTM Intelligence.

Financing

Investing in your central heating installation can be a costly affair but most heating and aircondition companies provide an excellent range of financing options to help you get the comfort you want within your budget. When purchasing a heating and air conditioning unit, you must consider the purchase price as well as your home’s location, construction as well as ductwork. At Trane, customers are provided with a range of financing options that give you benefits such as convenient monthly payments, competitive interest rates as well as no prepayment penalties. Additionally you can also search for bonus offers in your area which include furnace and air conditioner rebates. Alternatively, you can also get a range of flexible financing plans when purchasing a Carrier unit. Carrier also provides similar benefits such as competitive interest, monthly payments and additional rebates but with the convenient addition of an online bill paying option.

Efficiency

Efficiency is an area where both Trane and Carrier products appear on par with one another. It is a requirement by U.S. regulatory agencies such as the Department of Energy, that all new HVAC products carry a SEER rating of 13.0 or more. Both Trane and Carrier provide some of the most energy efficient products on the market that have a SEER rating of 20.0.

Warranties

Putting hundreds of dollars into your HVAC system can be daunting, but knowing that you have the security of warranties can help give you the peace of mind you need. Trane offers their customers Registered Limited Warranty if the customer registers their product within 60 days of purchase. If not registered, then the base limited warranty will apply instead. Contrastingly, Carrier proves to be the better choice here as you can extend the limited product warranty to an additional five years by registering within 90 days of purchase.


Choosing the unit that is right for you and your home can be a tough decision. So if you are located in the Garnet Valley or the Newtown Square Area and require further assistance on making the right choice, contact H&H Heating and Air Conditioning to get the expert advice.
