The highest efficiency in Trane's lineup. Reduces cooling costs 30–40% vs a 14 SEER system.

Superior Humidity Control

Variable-speed operation removes more moisture from the air during Arizona's monsoon season — feels cooler at higher temperatures.

12-Year Compressor Warranty

The XV20 includes a 12-year registered compressor warranty — 2 years longer than the XL18.

Protects the unit from debris, hail, and UV degradation. Standard on the XV20, not available on XL18.

Arizona Monsoon Solution

THE XV20 IS ARIZONA'S BEST DEHUMIDIFIER

Most HVAC companies sell a $3,000–$6,000 whole-home dehumidifier to fix a problem the right AC system prevents in the first place.

Why Single-Stage ACs Fail at Humidity

A standard single-stage AC runs at 100% capacity until your thermostat is satisfied — then shuts off. During Arizona's monsoon season (July–September), the system reaches your temperature setpoint in 10–15 minutes but hasn't run long enough to remove moisture from the air. Result: the house is cool but feels clammy and humid.

This is why homeowners with standard AC systems sometimes buy portable or whole-home dehumidifiers — they're compensating for a system that wasn't designed to handle Arizona's humidity swings.

The problem isn't your humidity. It's your AC system.

How the XV20 Solves It

1

Runs continuously at low speed

The XV20's variable-speed compressor runs at 40–100% capacity. At lower speeds, it runs longer — more airflow over the cold coil means more moisture removed per cycle.

2

Dedicated humidity control mode

The XV20 can continue running even after your temperature setpoint is reached, specifically to dehumidify. Your thermostat controls both temperature and humidity independently.

3

TLINK360 thermostat monitors humidity

Bradford includes the TLINK360 smart thermostat with every XV20. It monitors indoor humidity and triggers dehumidification mode automatically during monsoon season.

4

No separate dehumidifier needed

Homeowners who upgrade from single-stage to the XV20 typically report their home feels noticeably less humid during monsoon season — without any additional equipment.

THE BRADFORD POSITION

"Most HVAC companies sell you a $3,000–$6,000 dehumidifier to fix a problem that the right AC system would have prevented. Bradford installs variable-speed Trane XV systems that handle both temperature and humidity — no separate dehumidifier needed."

FAQ — Surprise, AZ

A Trane XV20 (XV20i) installed by Bradford in Arizona typically costs $17,356–$19,897 depending on tonnage (2–5 ton) and any ductwork modifications needed. This includes the outdoor unit, air handler, TLINK360 smart thermostat, installation labor, old system removal, and 10-year warranty registration. 0% financing available — approximately $335–$384/month.
The Trane XV20i achieves up to 20 SEER2 (22 SEER) in optimal conditions. In Arizona's climate, real-world efficiency typically runs 18–20 SEER2. This is the highest efficiency rating in Trane's residential lineup and can reduce cooling costs by 30–40% compared to a standard 14 SEER system.
The Trane XV20 uses a variable-speed TruComfort compressor with 750 stages of capacity — it can run at exactly the right level for your home's needs. The XL18 uses a two-stage compressor (high/low). The XV20 provides: 10× more precise temperature control (0.1°F vs 1°F), superior humidity control, quieter operation (55 dB vs 72 dB), and a 12-year compressor warranty vs 10-year on the XL18. The XV20 also includes the WeatherGuard top cover to protect against debris and hail.
Yes. Bradford includes the TLINK360 smart thermostat with every XV20 installation. The TLINK360 is required for the XV20's variable-speed functionality — it communicates directly with the system to optimize performance. The thermostat includes WiFi, app control, humidity sensing, and Trane diagnostics.
For homeowners planning to stay 7+ years, yes. The XV20 is approximately 12% more efficient than the XL18 in Arizona's climate. On a $300/month summer electric bill, that's about $36/month in savings. The price difference between XV20 and XL18 is typically $2,000–$3,000 installed, which pays back in 5–7 years through energy savings alone. The XV20 also provides noticeably better humidity control during monsoon season.
Bradford determines the correct tonnage using a Manual J load calculation — the industry standard. As a general guide: 2-ton for 600–800 sqft, 2.5-ton for 800–1,000 sqft, 3-ton for 1,000–1,200 sqft, 3.5-ton for 1,200–1,400 sqft, 4-ton for 1,400–1,600 sqft, 5-ton for 1,600–2,000 sqft. Arizona homes often need one size larger than national averages due to extreme heat.
