This was a full system replacement - new 4 ton Trane XV20 outdoor unit, air handler swap in the attic, and duct modifications to make sure the airflow actually matched the new equipment. A lot of companies skip that last part. We don't.
Here's why the duct work matters. You can drop a brand new high-efficiency unit on a home, but if the ductwork is undersized, leaking, or poorly routed, you're leaving a lot of that efficiency on the table. The XV20 is one of Trane's top-tier variable speed systems - it communicates with your home's demands and adjusts output accordingly. That only works right when the air delivery side of the system is dialed in too.
The attic work is where a lot of the heavy lifting happens on a job like this. Getting the air handler positioned correctly, making sure the duct connections are solid and sealed, and routing everything cleanly - it takes time, but it's what separates a system that performs from one that just runs.
The XV20 outdoor unit is built to handle the kind of heat Houston throws at it. Variable speed compressor, high SEER2 rating, and Trane's reputation for durability in tough climates. For a Houston home, that combination matters a lot when you're running your system hard for months at a time.
We take real pride in jobs like this. When the equipment is right and the installation is done correctly, homeowners feel the difference immediately - better comfort, more even temperatures room to room, and a system they can actually count on long-term.
