Trane 80 Two-Stage Variable Speed Gas Furnace (S8V2)

Who This Furnace Is For

The Trane 80 Two-Stage Variable Speed Gas Furnace is for homes where an 80% furnace makes sense, but comfort still matters. This product was formerly known as the Trane S8V2-C.

You are not buying this model for the highest AFUE rating. You are buying it for the two-stage heat and variable-speed airflow in an 80% furnace platform.

This can be a good option when venting or home setup makes an 80% furnace the practical choice, but you still want quieter operation and better airflow than a basic single-stage furnace.

Key Features

• Energy Efficiency: 80% AFUE
• Heating Stages: Two
• Blower Speed: Variable-Speed
• Link™ communicating technology
• Variable speed blower motor
• Two-stage gas heat
• Tubular steel heat exchanger
• Insulated cabinet for quiet operation

Benefits

• Better comfort than basic 80% single-stage furnaces
• Variable-speed blower helps with airflow and noise
• Two-stage heat reduces the all-on/all-off feel
• Useful when an 80% furnace is the right fit for the home
• Can support stronger cooling comfort than a basic blower

Considerations

• Lower efficiency than 90%+ condensing furnaces
• Usually not the lowest-cost 80% option
• May not make sense if a high-efficiency furnace is easy to install
• Needs good ductwork to take full advantage of the variable-speed blower

What Our Service Department Says

This furnace makes sense when the 80% category is already the right direction. If you are going 80%, the variable-speed blower is the part that can make the system feel better day to day.

We would compare this against the 80 Two-Stage Gas Furnace if you want to save money, or a 96% furnace if venting and budget make a high-efficiency furnace reasonable.

Pricing

Our average price for selling and installing a Trane 80 Two-Stage Variable Speed Gas Furnace is between $4,000 to $4,600.
