At 240,000 BTU on standard commercial voltage with high heat gas output, this commercial rooftop packaged unit is engineered for major retail anchors, large institutional campuses, substantial office complexes, large houses of worship, schools, and high-occupancy commercial facilities in cold climate zones — the upper Midwest, New England, Mountain West, and Great Plains markets — where the cooling load has pushed to the 20-ton tier, winter heating demands are severe enough that maximum gas heat output is non-negotiable, and the building runs standard 208\/230V 3-phase commercial power. At this capacity in a cold climate building on standard voltage, the Foundation Series 20-ton high heat unit covers the heaviest combined heating and cooling load that a standard-voltage cold climate commercial building generates across its full annual operating cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe high heat configuration at 20-ton capacity on 208\/230V power carries its greatest specification significance in the Foundation Series 208\/230V high heat upper tier. At 240,000 BTU cooling output in a cold climate building on standard voltage, the buildings that specify this unit are at the largest end of the light commercial building profile in northern U.S. markets — major facilities with the highest thermal mass, the greatest exterior envelope exposure, the highest infiltration loads during severe cold events, and the longest sustained heating demand of any building type the Foundation Series standard-voltage lineup addresses. For these buildings, the consequence of a medium heat shortfall at 20-ton capacity is at its most severe — the largest occupied areas without adequate heat during peak winter conditions, the longest recovery times during cold snap events, and the greatest operational and safety exposure of any standard-voltage Foundation Series application. High heat at 20-ton capacity on standard voltage is the specification that eliminates those risks permanently at the top of the standard-voltage cold climate Foundation Series tier, ensuring the building has the gas heat output to maintain occupant comfort and building safety through every peak winter condition it will face across its full service life on standard commercial power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAt 13.0 IEER, this unit steps to the upper tier efficiency rating consistent with all 20-ton Foundation Series entries across heat configurations and voltage configurations — the step from 14.0 IEER at 17.5 tons to 13.0 IEER at 20 tons is addressed directly because buyers comparing 17.5 and 20-ton high heat 208\/230V entries will scrutinize the efficiency difference, and the explanation that this step is consistent with commercial efficiency standards at this capacity level across the industry converts better than leaving it unaddressed at this price point. For large cold climate building owners running 20-ton equipment at high annual utilization through extended northern U.S. heating and cooling seasons, 13.0 IEER at 240,000 BTU high heat output on standard voltage still delivers meaningful operating cost efficiency at the scale and utilization profile where the absolute dollar value of efficiency performance is at its highest in the Foundation Series 208\/230V high heat lineup. R-454B refrigerant at 20-ton high heat capacity on standard voltage eliminates the most disruptive mid-lifecycle service risk the building owner faces — a forced refrigerant retrofit on a 20-ton commercial unit in a large cold climate building running high annual operating hours across both extended heating and extended cooling seasons, where both system failures and planned service events carry their highest cost and operational consequence simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications at a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"overflow-x-auto w-full px-2 mb-6\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"min-w-full border-collapse text-sm leading-[1.7] whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cthead class=\"text-left\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\" class=\"text-text-100 border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.6)] py-2 pr-4 align-top font-bold\"\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\" class=\"text-text-100 border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.6)] py-2 pr-4 align-top font-bold\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003e20 Ton \/ 240,000 BTU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eHeat Configuration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eHigh Heat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eIEER\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003e13.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eRefrigerant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eR-454B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003e208\/230V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003ePhase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003e3-Phase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eHeating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eGas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eCooling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eElectric\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eStages\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eSingle Stage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"border-b-0.5 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.3)] py-2 pr-4 align-top\"\u003eFoundation Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Trane","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55234311651619,"sku":"GDK240A3SHA1DQY","price":32121.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/1171\/5363\/files\/TraneGDK_9e5fd715-ae92-4ad3-860d-1ac9ce180485.png?v=1781331538","url":"https:\/\/www.acunitsforless.com\/products\/trane-20-ton-commercial-gas-electric-packaged-unit-foundation-series-high-heat-r454b-208-230v-3-phasetrane-20-ton-commercial-gas-electric-packaged-unit-foundation-series-high-heat-r454b-208-230v-3-phase","provider":"acunitsforless.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
