If you’re looking for a quiet, reliable furnace that is easier on your budget, the Trane XV80 might be the system for you. In this video, we’ll break down the XV80’s features and go over who might benefit most from this furnace.

Hi I’m Bryan from Fire & Ice. We’ve talked with thousands of customers in the Central Ohio area and one of the biggest questions we’re asked is “how can I make my home more comfortable without breaking the bank?” One of the most popular solutions is the Trane XV80 gas furnace. In this video we’re going to cover:

  •  What are the features of the Trane XV80?
  • What is the Efficiency Rating for the XV80?
  • How much does the XV80 cost?
  • Who’s the right fit for this furnace?
  • And finally, what to do next.

By the end of this video you’ll know if the Trane XV80 furnace is right for you and your home.

What are the features of the Trane XV80?

Let’s dive right in and look into the features of the Trane XV80. First off, is its two-stage gas valve making it a mid-range furnace. A two-stage gas valve allows your furnace to operate in two capacities, at 100% and at a lower capacity between 60 and 70% unlike a single-stage furnace where it is either on or off. This allows you to have more control over the temperature in your home at a lower initial cost than with modulating furnaces.

Next, is its variable speed motor. Like the gas valve, the variable-speed blower gives you more control over the overall circulation of the air in your home giving you added comfort and better air circulation year-round.

Lastly, is its large, insulated cabinet. The Trane XV80 40” insulated cabinet allows for quieter operation and helps decrease static pressure or airflow resistance.

What is the Efficiency Rating for the XV80?

Furnaces are split into two categories based on their efficiency rating: standard or high efficiency. This efficiency is measured by an AFUE rating or (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) and is the percentage of fuel that goes towards heating your home. The Trane XV80’s is considered a standard efficiency furnace with an 80% efficiency rating. This means 80% of the fuel that is used goes towards heating the home, the other 20% is exhausted as waste.

High-efficiency gas furnaces, on the other hand, have an AFUE rating from 90% and can exceed 98%. To achieve this higher efficiency, direct venting is required to bring fresh air into the system and to exhaust waste gases, requiring additional piping to be run from your furnace through the side of your house to the outside.

The Trane XV80 furnace is the best furnace on the market when a high efficiency furnace is not practical, and you still want reliable comfort levels.

How much does Trane XV80 cost?

Now for the burning cost question, “what does it cost” question. The Trane XV80 furnace can cost between $4,620 and $5,390. This price includes the cost of equipment, labor, and any additional fees. For comparison, a new furnace replacement can range between $3,300 to $8,300 making the Trane XV80 a reliable, mid-range option.

Factors that can change the price include:

  • Size of the home
  • filters or other indoor air quality products
  • the location of where the installation will occur
  • and if you need to make changes to your current system.

These factors create a range in price for both the furnace or a full system installation.

Who is Trane XV80 a good fit for?

Now you may be wondering, is the Trane XV80 right for me? If you are a homeowner looking to relace your current gas furnace and make your home more comfortable, the Trane XV80 could be right for you.

The XV80 also works well for many mid-sized budgets. And thanks to its two-stage gas valve and variable speed motor this furnace can eliminate hot and cold spots in your whole home. A perfect solution for split-level and multi-story homes.

However, due to its 40-inch cabinet size a clearance of at least 7 feet is needed to properly install this system in your home. Additionally, the Trane XV80 will be able to work along side any non-communicating air conditioner. Check with your HVAC partner to confirm that your current air conditioner is compatible.

 What’s the next step in the process?

Fire and Ice has been wonderful to work with! Our new Furnace and AC are working like a dream. We had a number of places come out for estimates and Fire and Ice was the only one who actually went around and measured our windows and home and determined we should get a smaller furnace than what was installed before, saving us money both up front and on efficiency down the road. We were also impressed at the quality of the installation itself, as our old setup was clearly done without much care or thought. Fire and Ice took the time to move pipes and such that were just hanging from my ceiling before, move the humidifier to the proper side of the furnace, move over the ductwork that was not put in a good location, raise our electrical box outside away from the ground, and all kinds of little things to make sure our system runs right for a long time. It's been a few months and our setup runs perfectly. You get what you pay for, and I'm glad we paid for Fire and Ice!

When the 30 year old HVAC system in our house went out Fire and Ice was recommended to me. Brad, my sales representative, showed me a comprehensive list of my options, set me up with financing make a brand new system affordable, and professionally communicated throughout the entire process. The installers, Demetrius, Willard, and Tyler, were fantastic! They were very helpful and professional throughout the entire installation process and walked us through the ins and outs of the final product. The AC works like a dream just in time for the hot summer weather and we could not be happier! Fire and Ice is our go-to recommendation for anyone seeking HVAC work.

Our complete HVAC system was replaced a month ago. We experienced a flawless, informative process from sales to installation. Bryan, our sales pro, performed a detailed anaysis of our home's size, construction & features to develop an evaluation of our HVAC needs to offer the optimum sized equipment and has returned several times since the installation to insure it's proper functioning and our understanding of the entire system. The installation was performed within 3 days of our agreement - with the crew (Jon, Daniqua & Colby) getting the old system removed (furnace & A/C) and the new system installed in a matter of hours - they even modified ductwork and rerouted some lines originally installed by our builder to increase efficiency and give the system a cleaner appearance. Another great surprise was their tenacity with the cleanup - all their work areas were left totally spotless!!! Overall the best contractor performance we have experienced in 35 years of home ownership including having 2 homes built by the area's most reputable developers. The system runs great, is quiet and can now be operated through my phone from anywhere - even if just to insure it's running while at my winter haven. Thank You Fire & Ice!

Fire & Ice was great. Our sales rep, Bryan, was excellent. He was knowledgeable, professional, and didn’t pressure us to make a purchase. Due to our experience with him, we were already planning on using Fire & Ice to replace our old AC, but during the heat wave and storms, my once limping-along-AC decided 20 years was enough cooling and decided it’s job was done. My husband had initially set the meeting with Bryan, but was out of town, leaving me to pick up the sale. Bryan didn’t miss a beat when I emailed him asking to get a new AC installed ASAP. Within two days, my install techs, Demetrius P. and Willard J. were here to install. The excellent service continued. Both were amazing and incredibly professional, even dealing with my very vocal dog with grace every time they entered my house. They completed the job in a timely manner and everything was top notch. They were mindful of the fact that I work from home, and kept noise to an absolute minimum. By the time they left, I could feel the cool air flowing once again. They even took the time to swap out my furnace filter! Loved working with them and will recommend Fire & Ice to my friends & neighbors.

The entire process of having a new furnace and air conditioner installed was awesome. Scheduling the estimate was quick and easy and I didn't have to wait on availability. The estimate was very thorough, and Bryan was extremely helpful in explaining everything. Install was just a few days later based on my schedule (they could have installed sooner) and the install technicians (Bryan, Alontae, Von) were awesome. Very professional and courteous, adhering to local health guidelines the entire time. They also had somebody come out and take photos and videos of the install so they could use it in their training. They took the time to ensure everything was installed properly (my old install wasn't). They were also very helpful to show me everything about the system and new thermostat before they left. Bryan followed up with me a week later and stopped in to check on the install. He's awesome and having a tech come out and tweak a couple things (humidifier and thermostat) to ensure everything runs properly!

One of my good friend’s had a great experience with Fire and Ice, so I went ahead and tried them out. Amazing customers service. Brad was awesome with walking me through the process of getting a new furnace and answered all of my questions. I will be a returning customer and recommend Fire and Ice to all. Update on furnace installed: I can not praise this company enough. The technicians Floyd and Jacob were very professional and the craftsmanship was amazing. You can tell when someone takes pride in their work. Thank you for your hard work. It’s greatly appreciated.

Bryan and Nick were true professionals. They gave me a good heads up when they were going to arrive and did a great job installing the new furnace. They made sure to keep my house clean and walked me through what they did and gave me tips on how to get the best use/life out of my furnace. Will definitely recommend to a friend.

The two technicians arrived exactly when they said they would, immediately began to take care of business. They had more trouble than they anticipated getting the old furnace out but still pretty much finished at the time they told me. The system and heating space were left clean and tidy. they took a few extra minutes to troubleshoot my water tank to get it to ignite which was greatly appreciated. Very nice gentleman throughout the experience and gave me a thorough explanation of the paperwork and how to use the thermostat as well. Was a great experience
