Trane XV20i and Trane Link Variable Speed Heat Pump Named Best High Efficiency Heat Pump

Trane Technologies is pleased to announce that the Trane XV20i and Trane Link Variable Speed Heat Pump has been named Best High Efficiency Heat Pump in the 2023 Good Housekeeping Home Renovation Awards. The annual awards recognize the best products and services in the home improvement industry.

The XV20i Variable Speed Heat Pump with Trane Link is the latest example of heat pump innovation that solidifies Trane Technologies' position as the industry leader in sustainable heating, cooling and temperature control solutions. The innovative system design makes installation, maintenance and service more reasonable. Homeowners benefit from Trane Link and Trane Diagnostics technologies, which provide remote and predictive services to ensure accurate installations and provide technicians with performance data to configure, monitor and accurately troubleshoot one of the home's most critical systems.

Good Housekeeping Chief Technologist and Executive Director of Technology Rachel Rothman renovated her home with a Trane heat pump and noticed an immediate reduction in energy costs and quieter operation. “Remote control through the Trane home app is a nice convenience,” she said, “for example, allowing us to keep the house at the optimal temperature before returning from the weekend.”

“We are extremely proud that Good Housekeeping has recognized the XV20i Variable Speed Heat Pump,” said Katie Davis, vice president of engineering and technology for the Residential Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Division at Trane Technologies. “This system is a beacon of innovation, sustainability and quality for homeowners who will benefit from its reliability as well as savings. The advanced technology embedded in this system is the basis for our next innovation, the cold climate heat pump.”

Field testing of Trane's cold climate heat pump (CCHP) continues after the company's prototype exceeded U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) requirements for testing residential heat pumps in cold climates. When tested at a Department of Energy laboratory, the system exceeded testing requirements by operating at temperatures below the Department of Energy's mandatory negative 20 degrees Fahrenheit requirement.
