Trane XV19 Variable Speed Heat Pump

For homeowners ready to invest in a heat pump, the XV19 paired with a gas furnace (dual-fuel) is our most recommended setup for Nassau County. You get heat pump efficiency in mild weather and gas furnace backup when it gets truly cold.

The Trane XV19 is a true variable-speed heat pump that excels in both heating and cooling modes. The TruComfort™ system adjusts compressor speed in tiny increments, maintaining your desired temperature within ±0.5°F — far more precise than conventional systems.\n\nFor Long Island homeowners considering electrification, the XV19 is a compelling option. At 19 SEER2 cooling and 12 HSPF2 heating, it qualifies for federal IRA tax credits and most PSEG Long Island rebates. When paired with a Trane furnace in a dual-fuel configuration, it provides the most cost-effective heating solution for our climate zone.\n\nThe Climatuff™ variable-speed compressor handles sub-freezing temperatures with minimal efficiency loss, though we recommend dual-fuel backup for temperatures below 25°F on Long Island.
