About Trane HVAC Systems
Trane started in 1885, when Reuben Trane was selling cast iron radiators in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The HVAC side eventually separated from the industrial business and is now part of Trane Technologies, headquartered in Ireland with most manufacturing in the US. Trane makes a full range of residential and commercial equipment: air conditioners, heat pumps, gas furnaces, fan coils, and variable refrigerant systems. The serial number format puts the two-digit year in position 2 and the month as a letter (A for January, B for February, through L for December) in position 3. Position 1 is a production-line code that carries no date information.
