Trane XR17 Two-Stage Air Conditioner

This is our best-seller for a reason. Most homeowners don't need variable-speed to be comfortable — two-stage cooling handles 95% of Long Island weather beautifully. We recommend the XR17 to anyone who wants "Trane quality" without overpaying.

The Trane XR17 hits the sweet spot that most Nassau County homeowners are looking for: genuine Trane build quality and two-stage comfort at a price that doesn't require a second mortgage.\n\nThe two-stage Climatuff™ compressor runs at ~67% capacity most of the time, ramping to full power only on the hottest days. This means quieter operation, better dehumidification, and lower energy bills compared to single-stage models. For Long Island's climate zone 4A, two-stage is often the ideal balance.\n\nThe unit features the same WeatherGuard™ II top and Spine Fin™ coil as the premium models, so durability isn't compromised. At 17 SEER2, it significantly outperforms the minimum federal standard while keeping installed costs thousands below the XV20i.
