Trane 96 Two-Stage Variable Speed Gas Furnace (S9V2)

Who This Furnace Is For

The Trane 96 Two-Stage Variable Speed Gas Furnace is one of the best all-around furnace choices in the lineup. This product was formerly known as the Trane S9V2.

It gives you two-stage heating for better temperature control and a variable-speed blower for quieter, steadier airflow. For many homes, that is the sweet spot: noticeably better comfort than a single-stage furnace without paying for the fully modulating model.

This furnace is a strong fit if you want high-efficiency gas heat, plan to stay in the home, and care about comfort but still want to keep the system practical.

What Our Service Department Says

This is the furnace we probably talk about more than any other higher-end option. The two-stage gas valve helps with comfort, and the variable-speed blower is a real upgrade when airflow and noise matter.

We would compare this against the 96 Two-Stage Gas Furnace if budget is tighter, and against the 96 Modulating Variable Speed Gas Furnace if you want the smoothest heat Trane offers.
