Why the Trane XL17i Two-Speed Air Conditioner Is a Smart Choice for Springfield, MO Homes

In the heart of Springfield, Missouri, where the weather can swing from intensely hot summers to brisk winters, having a reliable air conditioning system isn't just a luxury—it's a necessity. That’s why at SS&B Heating & Cooling, we’re excited to spotlight a product that stands out in home comfort: the Trane XL17i Two-Speed Air Conditioner. This unit isn't just any air conditioner; it's a peak of efficiency and reliability, designed to keep your home comfortable while saving on energy costs.

Unmatched Efficiency

The Trane XL17i, formerly known as the XL18i air conditioner, boasts an impressive SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating of up to 17.2. This means it is one of the more energy-efficient models on the market today. Homeowners in Springfield can look forward to significant energy savings—up to 44% annually, based on the rating of a matched system. This air conditioner not only lowers your utility bills but also supports a more sustainable environment.

Exceptional Comfort with Two-Speed Operation

What sets the Trane XL17i air conditioner apart is its two-stage Climatuff® compressor, which allows the unit to operate primarily at a lower speed, maintaining a consistent and comfortable temperature at a reduced energy cost. On the hottest days, it can ramp up to a higher speed to increase cooling power. This adaptable performance translates to consistent indoor comfort, no matter how erratic the weather outside gets.

Durability and Reliability

Durability is key when choosing an air conditioning system, and the Trane XL17i excels in this area. It features full-side louvered panels and a WeatherGuard™ II top, designed to protect the unit from the elements. The all-aluminum Spine Fin™ outdoor coil is resistant to corrosion and environmental extremes, ensuring longevity and peak performance. Moreover, the DuraTuff™ non-corrosive base pan and corrosion-resistant WeatherGuard™ fasteners enhance the system’s durability, making it a reliable choice for the humid climate of Springfield.

Quiet Operation

One of the standout features of the Trane XL17i is its emphasis on quiet operation. The system operates within a noise level range of 72-74 DbA, thanks to its advanced fan system and sound insulators on the compressors (available on select models). This means you can enjoy a cool home without the intrusive noise that often accompanies lower-quality units.

Enhanced Savings and Warranties

The Trane XL17i is not only Energy Star® Qualified but also eligible for various rebates and tax credits. Trane offers additional rebates during its spring and fall promotions, enhancing the savings potential. Residents of Springfield can take advantage of a $500 rebate from City Utilities of Springfield, MO, and check for additional utility rebates in the area. Furthermore, under specific conditions, homeowners may qualify for a 25c Federal Tax Credit, amounting to 30% of the project cost (up to $600). With its status as the peak of efficiency and reliability, the Trane XL17i ensures both performance and cost-effectiveness.

SS&B Heating & Cooling offers a complimentary 2-year labor warranty on select units, alongside a registered limited warranty period covering the compressor for twelve years and outdoor coil and parts for ten years.
