Our traditional thermostats include basic programmable thermostats and entry-level non-programmable thermostats. Like every Trane product, reliability is built in. You might choose one of these thermostats if you feel like you don’t want or need all of the extra options that come with smart thermostats.
Ease of use
Traditional thermostats are easy to use. Non-programmable thermostats are the simplest. You set the indoor temperature you want, and it stays there until you change it. Programmable thermostats have an intuitive interface that allows you to set a schedule for different times of day and days of the week.
Setting a lower or higher temperature (depending on the season) for while you’re away can help you save money on your energy bills.
Digital thermostats improve visibility of important data
If you grew up with (or still have!) the old circular dial thermostat with tiny numbers or a toggle switch thermostat with equally tiny numbers, you’ll appreciate the digital display of our newer traditional thermostats.
The inside temperature is displayed large enough to be seen easily. Depending on the unit, you may have a touchscreen or buttons to push to raise or lower the temperature. Most units also display the time, and some can display the outdoor temperature or indoor humidity level.
Compatibility with single-stage and two-stage systems
If you have a single-stage or two-stage HVAC system, our traditional thermostats are compatible.

Traditional Thermostat FAQs
A thermostat is the brain of an HVAC system. It communicates with the furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump, telling the system when to turn on and when the desired temperature has been reached. The thermostat has temperature sensors that enable it to know your home’s temperature.
Today’s newer units are digital thermostats and can automatically switch between heating and cooling based on the indoor temperature.
If you see the word Hold on your programmable thermostat, it means you can press a button or the touchscreen to hold the temperature at a certain level. This can be helpful if you have guests who need a warmer temperature than your normal schedule would provide, for example.
You can set it to Hold the temperature for a specific amount of time, and then depending on the model, the thermostat will return to its normal schedule. Sometimes you have to remember to turn off the Hold. Hold is not the same as Vacation Mode, which generally means you want to set the temperature much lower or higher than you would want it if you were home.
The best home thermostat is one that is compatible with your HVAC system and one that has features you will use. If you’re not very tech-savvy, you might not use all of the features of a smart thermostat, but the remote diagnostics feature of smart thermostats may be appealing to you.
Whether you’re considering thermostat replacement because your old thermostat doesn’t work anymore or you’re getting a new HVAC system and are trying to decide between Trane thermostats, talk with your local Trane dealer about your best options.
Your thermostat replacement cost will vary depending on the model you choose. Your final cost will include the product cost and the cost of thermostat installation. This cost is included in the cost of more comprehensive services such as HVAC replacement or installation. For optimal results, you should have an HVAC professional install and set up your programmable thermostat or smart thermostat.
