The Home Depot and The Trane Co. have launched a pilot program for Home Depot to sell Trane residential heating and cooling products as an installed sale. Customers will be directed to recent Home Depot acquisition and Trane wholesaler Apex Supply (Atlanta), which will send the leads to Trane dealers.
Home Depot has initiated the pilot program in nine stores in Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tenn., as well as Dalton, Ga. The displays and literature feature high-end Trane XL equipment, comprised of two-speed 80%-efficiency furnaces and condensing furnaces and air conditioners from 12 to 18 SEER.
