The APR Control®: Capacity Control That Beats Two-Stage on Price and Performance
The commercial HVAC landscape is fiercely competitive, and losing out on a bid because two-stage or variable capacity options aren’t available (or simply cost too much) is a missed opportunity. Trane’s top-performing sales teams are proving you don’t have to sacrifice Trane performance standards to win on price.
The APR Control, paired with standard Trane equipment, is the strategic advantage needed to secure projects that would otherwise be lost. It delivers superior capacity modulation for fluctuating loads, ensuring freeze protection, passive dehumidification, and cost savings that allow your bids to stand out!
Trane Success Story:
The APR Control®: Your Strategic Advantage
In competitive markets like the K–12 sector, loads vary vastly based on ambient conditions and occupancy levels. This is where the APR Control shines, giving you a powerful, cost-effective sales tool:
✅ The Capacity Control Solution
The APR Control functions as a true capacity control solution, not limited to just to a humidity control. It provides better part-load matching than two-stage equipment, maintaining optimal temperature and comfort even during significant load swings.
💰 Cost-Effective Bidding Power
The APR Control, when packaged with standard Trane single-stage equipment, is a significantly cheaper option than two-stage or variable capacity units (often 50% less). This competitive price point keeps your bids aggressive without compromising on the performance and reliability customers expect from Trane.
🛡️ Freeze Protection and System Reliability
The APR Control’s modulating technology provides critical freeze prevention for coils and compressor protection, enhancing the longevity and reliability of the system, a key selling point for facility managers.
⚡ A Superior Alternative
The APR Control offers greater cost-effectiveness and capacity control than Hot Gas Bypass (HGBP), is more readily available than Hot Gas Reheat (HGRH), and is an essential alternative when two-stage or variable speed options aren’t on the table. Don’t lose a sale because you’re left without a competitive part-load solution.

Win Bids by Outperforming Hard-to-Get Equipment
Avoid Long Lead Times or Unavailability of 2-Stage, 3-Phase Equipment
Supply chain struggles and long lead times for specific 2-stage, 3-phase equipment tonnages are costing you bids. Instead of waiting, combine single-stage equipment with the APR Control. This strategy delivers the same or better performance than 2-stage units at a fraction of the cost.
