How an EarthWise™ Hybrid System Works
Ultra Efficient EarthWise™ Hybrid Split System
What it is
A Trane EarthWise™ Hybrid Split System combines a high efficiency electric Heat Pump with a variable speed Gas Furnace .
With the flexibility of two energy sources, the system can actually optimize your utility use by switching back and forth to whichever source is most efficient for your comfort.
How EarthWise™ Hybrid Split Systems work
A hybrid system is one that's capable of heating your home using either electricity or fossil fuel. A Trane EarthWise™ Hybrid system combines an XLi electric heat pump with a variable speed gas or oil furnace for ultimate efficiency.
With the flexibility of two fuels, the system can actually optimize your energy use by switching back and forth to whichever source is most efficient for your comfort.
Even in northern climates, the electric heat pump can find enough ambient heat in the air to keep your home warm and comfortable well into fall. But when there's not enough ambient heat and a fossil fuel becomes the most efficient option, the system will switch to either natural gas or heating oil for the toasty, cozy heat of a furnace. The system's switch point is set automatically by your dealer, but can be overridden with the Comfort Control Module.
When winter ends and warm temperatures return, the heat pump will reverse its operation; instead of finding ambient heat in the air, it will pull the heat our of your home and radiate it outside. The furnace won't ignite, but will instead serve as a variable-speed blower to move the cooled air produced by the heat pump. This year-long efficiency is what makes Trane EarthWise™ Hybrids such a smart choice.
Ultra Efficient EarthWise™ Hybrid Packaged System
What it is
Our EarthWise™ Hybrid Packaged System Contains the same components you find in a EarthWise™ Hybrid Split System. However they are all engineered to work together in one attractive cabinet. Whether installed on the ground beside your home or positioned on a roof top, Trane packaged units are designed to adapt seemlessly to your needs. Our family of Trane EarthWise™ Hybrid Packaged Systems consist of the highly efficient XL16c and XL14c .
How our packaged EarthWise™ Hybrid Systems work
A Trane EarthWise™ Hybrid packaged system allows you to select the best utility option based on climate conditions and energy costs. In winter, a heat pump uses electricity to capture the heat that's always present in the outside air and circulates it back into your home, while a furnace burns natural gas to heat the indoor air. Your independent Trane dealer can set the system to automatically switch from electric to gas heat, or you can make that selection with a Trane Comfort Control. And in summer, the heat pump works as an air conditioner, pulling heat out of your home and releasing it outdoors - while the variable speed blower motor with Comfort-R™ technology helps control humidity and circulate cooled air more evenly throughout your home. The flexibility of a hybrid system leads to year long efficiency and maximum comfort.
