Trane XB14 Heat Pump Review

by admin on June 16, 2011

Working out the cost of the heat pump or pumps is extremely important. Reviewing the Trane heat pump model XB14 gave an insight on how to get the highest efficiency at a lower cost. This will help save energy, and reduce the energy usage a great deal. Saving energy means you save money.

The XB14 has a SEER rating up to 15.00. The HSPF is up to 8.5. Both these features make it efficient in terms of saving energy. On further reviewing the product, what was highlighted is that the energy efficiency lowered the cooling costs dramatically.

The durable materials used by Trane for all the components manufactured, contributed to the long-lasting performance. The XB14 heat pump comes with the following world class components. “Spine Fin™” Outdoor Coil, Durable “Climatuff” Compressor, Galvanized-steel louvered panels, Baked-On Powder Paint, Corrosion-resistant “Weatherguard” fasteners and “DuraTuff” rust-proof base pan.

The models available in this range were reviewed and the following models with the capacity are listed.

Trane offer comprehensive warranty on all products that are sold. While the basic warranty is listed herein, you can get more details from the dealer when you purchase the Trane heat pumps. The warranty offered covers a 10 year period limited warranty on the compressor and 5 year limited warranty on the outdoor coil and also a 5 year warranty on the internal parts. (Functional) Extended warranties are optional provided that the labor charges and other miscellaneous charges are paid for by the customer. This too is only if these costs are not covered in the manufacturers’ warranty.

Warranty is effective only if the product is registered within 60 days from the date of purchase. It is wise therefore to register with the dealer at the time of purchasing to avoid missing out on a huge benefit of a 10 year warranty.
