At Comfort Specialists, it is our mission to provide Peoria area homeowners with the very best in heating and air conditioning solutions. That is why we choose to partner with Trane — known for industry-leading reliability and devotion to advanced technology. Their dedication to the heating and cooling industry allows us to provide homeowners throughout the Peoria area with high-quality equipment and systems that we stand behind 100%.

There are many options when considering a new heat pump for your home. We always design a quality system that best fits your needs and the needs of your home, not the standard good, better and best type of “sales” approach. We begin by ensuring your new furnace will be properly sized for your home, using industry-approved Manual J load calculation. See our section on system sizing. Not only is this step required by code, it ensures you are not over-or under-sizing the heat pump for the required loads of the house—a crucial piece in achieving comfort and extending the life of the equipment. We also assess your duct system to determine whether modifications or replacement is necessary due to the age and condition.

When you have new Trane equipment installed by the professional team at Comfort Specialists, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that no matter what the variable Illinois weather brings, you’ll stay comfortable at home. Heat pumps have a SEER rating, an EER rating, a HSPF rating, a COP rating and a capacity rating. A 13 SEER heat pump will cool just as good as a 17 SEER heat pump from a capacity standpoint. The higher the SEER, HSPF and COP ratings the lower the cost to heat and cool will be. To see some definitions please vist the Common Terms page. You can match up a heat pump with either a gas furnace or electric furnace, commonly called an air-handler. We have several options available based on your needs and the needs of your home.

Heat Pump Systems

XL17

The Trane XL17 has a SEER rating of up to 17.0 and HSPF of up to 9.5 along with a Weather Guard top. With two stages of cooling and heating it can meet any outdoor climate condition and prevent interior temperature swings. This unit will run on 1st stage on an initial call for cooling/heating at 70% capacity. If the thermostat senses full capacity is needed the unit will run at 100% capacity. When running at low cool or heat, the furnace fan also runs at a lower speed. This type of system will run longer on the milder days and result in better dehumidification in the home as well as provide for more even temperatures and less temperature swings in the winter and summer.

XR16

The Trane XR16 has a SEER rating of up to 17.0 and HSPF of up to 9.5. It’s essentially the same as the XL17 without the special top. With two stages of cooling/heating it can meet any outdoor climate condition and prevent interior temperature swings. This unit will run on 1st stage on an initial call for cooling/heating at 70% capacity. If the thermostat senses full capacity is needed the unit will run at 100% capacity.
