The XR15 is one of Trane’s most popular heat pumps because it combines very good efficiency with a lower cost than Trane’s top of the line XLi series. With 16.5 SEER and 9.0 HSPF you should see a drop in your energy bills in all seasons. It’s built with quality components and is backed by a solid warranty that provides confidence when making the decision to install this unit.
This is an Energy Star product with perhaps only one major drawback. It is not a dual fuel heat pump and therefore cannot be installed with a gas furnace. If you live in a cooler climate, a dual fuel heat pump will be a better choice, or a split system with a furnace and a central air conditioner. Our purpose here is to give you an idea of your equipment and installation costs, which we do below. But first, here are the Trane XR15 key features for you to compare with other heat pumps you are considering.
16.5 SEER air conditioning; 9.0 HSPF are average for the industry.
Single-staff Climatuff compressor provides basic but reliable operation.
Compressor insulator and other design features keep operating noise to a minimum.
R-410A refrigerant does not contain chlorine and won’t harm the ozone layer.
Models from 1.5 to 5.0 tons – one of Trane’s most complete series.
Louvered side panels offer good protection without limiting air flow.
Powder-coated cabinet and WeatherGuard fasteners resist corrosion and fading.
Composite base pan is rust-free.
10-year compressor and parts limited warranty is standard for the industry.
Trane XR15 Heat Pump Cost
These heat pump prices are averages of current Trane XR15 price samples. Your specific price will be affected by local cost of living and possible dealer rebates. Use these for comparison purposes:

3 ton XR15 heat pump: $1,699
4 ton XR15 heat pump: $1,939

XR15 Heat Pump Installation
The cost for installation can vary even more than equipment cost, based on the time of year you have the work done, the amount of time and materials required to complete the work, and whether other components like an indoor coil are being installed. Depending on specific factors, installation for this model ranges from $2,000 to $3,500.
Conclusion
This heat pump is one to consider in climates ranging from very warm to moderate, but not cooler regions. Because the equipment costs are lower than the top of the line Trane’s, it’s a good choice when you plan to live in your home for up to 10 years. If you plan to be there longer, a more efficient heat pump will be a better value over time. If you purchase an XR15 from Trane, look for your total installed price to be: $3,500 to $5,800.
