Trane XV90 Gas Furnace

The XV90 is Trane's top-of-the-line condensing gas warm-air furnace. The furnace is Energy Star® rated with an AFUE of 93% or better. (Trane does not make an oil furnace in the XV90 line, although it does in its XV80 line.) This is a two-stage model with a variable speed blower. (This reduces the operating cost of the furnace when it's not too cold as compared to a single-stage model.) It has built-in diagnostics, which the company claims can reduce maintenance time and costs should problems occur. The design of the XV90 furnace is CSA certified.
