Trane:  The most highly rated brand of residential heating, cooling and ventilation

Our History

For more than a century the Trane name has identified products and technology that stretched the world's idea of what was possible – a tradition that's still very much with us.

In many ways Trane is a classic American success story that grew into a global one. It began with our founder, James Trane, a Norwegian immigrant who opened his own plumbing shop in La Crosse, WI, in 1885.

With the inspiration of cold Wisconsin winters, James Trane invented a new low-pressure heating system he proudly called the Trane Vapor Heating System. His son, Reuben, was just back from college with a degree in mechanical engineering, so father and son began manufacturing operations in 1910 and incorporated as The Trane Company in 1913. It was Reuben's invention of the convector radiator in 1923 that firmly established the company's reputation as an innovator, a reputation Trane people have been building on ever since.  

New chapters in Trane's history of growth through innovation are being written every working day. Now our momentum continues to build because - as our people have said for years - "it's hard to stop a Trane."

Our Systems, Services and Solutions

At Trane, we're all about air – cool air, warm air, clean air. As a world leader in air conditioning systems, services and solutions, we control the comfort of the air for people in homes and many of the world's largest and most famous commercial, industrial and institutional buildings. And we're applying Trane's expertise in environmental technology and energy conservation to make a difference in energy efficiency around the globe.

Trane's commitment to customer service, high-performance systems and clean air also make us a leader in premium residential air conditioning systems. We market those systems in North America under the Trane and American Standard Heating and Air Conditioning brands. These brands offer high-quality, energy-efficient systems and services for homes and light commercial buildings. Our American Standard Heating and Air Conditioning line is the fastest growing premium brand in the industry.

In the interest of combining air comfort with air purity, we make whole-house air filtration systems that remove up to 99.98 percent of particles and allergens from the air in your home. Professors from the Harvard School of Public Health verified that these filtration systems are 1,000 times more effective than a standard one-inch filter. Technology like that makes Trane the residential market's leader in indoor air quality, a leadership position we're committed to keeping.

A Brand You Can Trust 

The Trane brand is the most recognized, most frequently considered and most highly rated brand of residential heating, cooling and ventilation.

Within the North American market, homeowners buy our Trane and American Standard residential systems at a rate that averages out to one sale every minute of every day. That's a vote of confidence in us.

Our efforts to earn that confidence begin in the design labs and manufacturing sites where our residential systems are created. And that confidence is reinforced when we sit down at a customer's kitchen table to make sure the system we help them select will not only meet but exceed their expectations for comfort and energy-efficiency.
