How it works to
keep you comfortable.
Your central air conditioner is designed to work with your
indoor furnace and give you years of dependable service.
Your new central air conditioning system is designed to give you years of comfort
and dependable performance, it will cool every room in your house -- and use less
energy to do it than ever before.
The reason: we've improved the compressor in many of our units. Now it pumps the
heat out of your home more efficiently. And we've made our new coils bigger, so they
dispose of this heat more quickly.

Your central air conditioner filters and dehumidifies.
As the Trane air conditioner circulates the air, it also filters it. The result: less
housework for you, and a cleaner house year 'round. The air conditioner also
extracts excess moisture from the air inside your home, thus helping to control
humidity in muggy summer months.
At the end of the cooting season, it's easy to deactivate the air conditioner. Simply
move the thermostat switch to HEAT Now the furnace takes over. And the blower

comfortable during the cold months.
