Trane 96 Two-Stage Gas Furnace (S9X2)

Who This Furnace Is For

The Trane 96 Two-Stage Gas Furnace is a strong high-efficiency option when you want two-stage heat but do not need a variable-speed blower. This product was formerly known as the Trane S9X2.

It is a practical step up from the 96 Single-Stage Gas Furnace. The furnace can run in a lower heat stage during milder weather and move to a higher stage when the home needs more heat.

This is a good fit for homeowners who want high AFUE efficiency and better comfort than a single-stage furnace, while keeping the system simpler than the variable-speed models.

What Our Service Department Says

This is a very practical furnace. The two-stage gas valve gives better comfort than a single-stage model, but the constant torque blower keeps it simpler and less expensive than a variable-speed setup.
