Trane air handler the day your dealer installs it, and for many years to come.
When shopping for a new system, efficiency is one of your most important considerations. An efficient system will not only lower your energy costs, it will also lower your impact on the environment.
System efficiency is measured in SEER, which stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. Similar to miles per gallon in a car, SEER is a measure of the overall efficiency of a complete heating and cooling system on a seasonal basis. The higher the SEER, the greater the system’s energy efficiency, and the lower the overall carbon footprint of your household.
The best efficiency comes from matched systems — systems in which all components are balanced to work together for optimized efficiency and performance.
Your Trane air handler has been
carefully designed to work as part
of a Trane matched system
to reduce your household energy use, and provide reliable comfort year after year.
If your system is more than a few years old, you may be using far more energy than you need to stay comfortable.
Annual savings for cooling your home
based on the efficiency of a matched system.
Like miles per gallon in a car, the higher the system SEER rating, the more comfort you will get from each energy dollar.
* Minimum efficiency established by the Department of Energy. Potential energy savings may
vary depending on your personal lifestyle, system settings and usage, equipment maintenance, local climate, actual construction and installation of equipment and duct system.
Responsibly cool.
The Trane Hyperion was designed for
your comfort, and our planet. With
significantly reduced air leakage and
an exclusive electronic expansion valve, the
Hyperion’s efficiency helps reduce your carbon footprint.
The outstanding durability of the all-aluminum coil means
fewer chances of refrigerant entering the atmosphere.
And the unique, fully enclosed foam insulation design
eliminates loose fiberglass insulation particles that can
break off and circulate in the air that you breathe.

Tough, double-wall construction with
enclosed foam insulation makes Hyperion both lightweight and durable while virtually eliminating sweating and condensation. The Hyperion was designed so less moisture and fewer dust particles are drawn in from garages, attics or crawl spaces. The cabinet interior is also easy to clean, helping improve indoor air quality.

Fully Enclosed Insulation
While other air handlers use metal cabinets
insulated by loose fiberglass and foil, Hyperion’s unique cabinet uses insulating foam between the cabinet walls much like a refrigerator. This prevents loose, fibrous insulation from breaking off and entering the air that your family breathes.

What is Trane Air™?
We’ve devoted years to producing air that has been flawlessly conditioned and meticulously cleaned. Air that feels fresh and crisp with each breath. We call it Trane Air, and you can experience it for yourself when you install the optional industry-leading filtration of Trane CleanEffects.
Nexia™ Home Intelligence: Adjust heating and cooling in your home, unlock the front door, turn on the lights, manage home security, even monitor and control energy use. And you can do all this from anywhere you happen to be, using your smart phone or web-enabled tablet or computer.
Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs): Introduce fresh outdoor air while removing stale indoor air. Efficiently transfer heat and moisture from the exchanged air for enhanced comfort and energy efficiency.
UV Light Kit: An optional kit for the Hyperion that improves coil and drain pan cleanliness.
Clean Air Delivery Rate
measures the effectiveness of air cleaning appliances. The higher the clean air delivery rate, the more effective the unit is at cleaning the room or home of airborne particles and allergens.
Air that’s dirty and full of particulates can not only feel uncomfortable, it can cause breathing problems for family members and exacerbate existing respiratory problems like asthma and allergies. Fortunately, the exclusive .1 micron filtration of an optional Trane CleanEffects removes up to 99.98% of airborne pollutants from heated and cooled air, providing the most technologically advanced air filtration available. That’s welcome relief for everyone in your home.
