IS THIS YOU?
The Right Customer for This Package
Just bought or are buying a West Valley home built between 1990 and 2010
Planning to live there for 10–20 years
The existing HVAC system is 15–25 years old and needs replacement
The ductwork is original builder-grade flex duct — leaky, undersized, or deteriorating
You want one company to handle everything with one warranty
You're not price-shopping — you want it done right the first time
Budget of $18,000–$26,000 for a complete HVAC overhaul
What Most HVAC Companies Do Instead
Replace the AC unit with the same size as the old one — no load calculation
Leave the original builder ductwork in place — even if it's 25 years old and leaking
Install the cheapest system that meets the quote, not the best system for your home
No duct design — just connect the new unit to whatever was there before
Separate warranties for equipment and labor — different companies, different phone numbers
No follow-up — once the job is done, you're on your own
WHAT THE COMPLETE SYSTEM INCLUDES
Every component is selected for Arizona's specific climate — 110°F summers, monsoon humidity, and 10–14 hours of daily AC runtime.
Manual J Load Calculation
Bradford calculates the exact cooling capacity your home needs based on square footage, insulation, window exposure, ceiling height, and local climate. Most HVAC companies skip this. Bradford never does.
✓ Result: correctly sized system that cools efficiently and dehumidifies properly
Full Duct Replacement with Manual D Design
All existing flex duct is removed and replaced with new R-8 insulated flex duct, properly sized and configured per Manual D calculations. Bradford designs the duct system to match the new system's specifications.
✓ Result: even temperatures throughout the home, no hot rooms, no wasted conditioned air
Properly Designed Return and Supply Plenums
Builder-grade plenums are often installed as shortcuts — air going straight out the back of a supply plenum or straight into an air handler without a proper return plenum. Bradford designs and installs plenums correctly.
✓ Result: proper airflow, reduced static pressure, longer system life
Trane XV20 or XL18 Installation
Bradford installs the Trane XV20 (variable-speed, advanced humidity control, 22 SEER2) or XL18 (two-stage, 18 SEER2) depending on your home's needs and budget. Both include the TLINK360 smart thermostat.
✓ Result: 25–30% lower energy bills vs. single-stage, superior humidity control during monsoon season
AC Soft Start (MicroAir EasyStart Pro)
Reduces compressor startup current by 70%. In Arizona's extreme heat, compressors start 10–14 times per day. The soft start extends compressor life significantly and reduces the electrical surge that degrades capacitors.
✓ Result: longer compressor life, fewer capacitor failures, 5-year warranty
Drain Float Switch + Surge Protector
The drain float switch shuts off the AC if the condensate drain line clogs — preventing water damage to ceilings and floors. The surge protector protects the system from electrical surges.
✓ Result: protection against the two most common causes of preventable damage
CHOOSE YOUR TRANE SYSTEM
Bradford will recommend the right system based on your home's size, insulation, and how long you plan to stay. Here are the two most common choices for the Complete System package.
Trane XL18 — Two-Stage
Complete package: $14,500–$21,000
$242–$350/mo at 0% / 60mo
Two-stage compressor for better humidity control and quieter operation than single-stage. 18 SEER2 efficiency. Best for homeowners staying 5–10 years or on a tighter budget.

Trane XV20 — Variable-Speed

$267–$400/mo at 0% / 60mo
Variable-speed TruComfort compressor with 750 stages. Advanced humidity control mode. 22 SEER2. Best for homeowners staying 10+ years who want maximum efficiency and comfort.
- 22 SEER2 — highest efficiency
- Advanced dehumidification mode
- Whisper-quiet (55 dB)
- 12-year compressor warranty
- TLINK360 thermostat + humidity sensor
10-YEAR COST COMPARISON
The XV20 costs more upfront — but over 10 years, the energy savings close the gap significantly. Here's the math for a typical 3-ton West Valley home.
14 SEER2 Single-Stage
Typical builder-grade replacement
Annual energy cost vs. single-stage baseline
100% (baseline)
Trane XL18 (18 SEER2)
Bradford Complete — XL18 package
Annual energy cost vs. single-stage baseline
~22% savings vs. single-stage
Trane XV20 (22 SEER2)
Bradford Complete — XV20 package
Annual energy cost vs. single-stage baseline
~36% savings vs. single-stage
The key insight: The XL18 and XV20 have similar 10-year total costs to a cheap single-stage replacement — but you get a dramatically better system. The XV20's energy savings of ~$611/year vs. single-stage means the premium over the XL18 pays back in approximately 4 years. For a homeowner planning to stay 10+ years, the XV20 is the rational choice. Get your exact estimate →
