The Trane XL17i Two-Speed Heat Pump: Perfect for Springfield, MO's Climate

Springfield, Missouri’s climate brings a mix of hot summers and cold winters, which means having a reliable, energy-efficient HVAC system is crucial for year-round comfort. The Trane XL17i Two-Speed Heat Pump is one of the best solutions for residents looking for exceptional performance, durability, and savings. Let’s dive into why this system is an excellent choice for homes in Springfield.

High Efficiency for Year-Round Comfort

With up to 17.2 SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and 8.1 HSPF2 (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor), the Trane XL17i delivers energy efficiency that translates into significant savings on your energy bills. These high ratings mean the unit operates efficiently in both summer and winter, ensuring your home stays comfortable while using less energy.

The two-stage Climatuff™ compressor ensures the system runs at the optimal speed for your heating and cooling needs, reducing unnecessary energy consumption during milder temperatures. For Springfield’s varied climate, this flexibility is perfect because it allows the system to adjust based on the weather, ensuring you stay comfortable without wasting energy.

Durability and Weather Protection

Springfield’s climate can be unpredictable, with varying temperatures and conditions throughout the year. The Trane XL17i is built to withstand harsh weather, thanks to its full-side louvered panels, WeatherGuard™ top, and corrosion-resistant fasteners. The baked-on powder paint ensures that the unit maintains its appearance and protection over time, while the Spine Fin™ outdoor coil maximizes heat transfer, boosting efficiency.

Additionally, the DuraTuff™ non-corrosive basepan and WeatherGuard™ fasteners ensure your unit remains resistant to rust and wear, even in the wettest seasons. This durability makes the Trane XL17i a smart investment for Springfield homeowners who want long-term performance without the need for constant maintenance or repairs.

Whisper-Quiet Operation

Nobody wants to deal with noisy HVAC systems that disrupt the peace of their home. With a sound insulator on the compressor and a variable-speed fan motor, the Trane XL17i operates quietly, making it perfect for keeping your home comfortable without the intrusive hum or buzz often associated with other systems. The unique mounting of the shaft-down fan motor reduces vibrations, contributing to its whisper-quiet operation, so you can enjoy year-round comfort with minimal noise.

Financial Incentives and Long-Term Protection

One of the standout features of the Trane XL17i is its incredible value when it comes to warranties and rebates. Here’s how you can save:

Registered Limited Warranty: The XL17i comes with an exceptional warranty — twelve years for the compressor and ten years for the outdoor coil and other parts. This gives homeowners peace of mind, knowing their investment is protected for the long term.
Complimentary 2-Year Labor Warranty: At SS&B Heating & Cooling, we offer a complimentary 2-year labor warranty on select units, ensuring that any necessary repairs within that period won’t cost you a dime.
