TRANE Priority smart thermostat TCONT24P1S52DA

A Quebec home with a central heat pump paired with a furnace runs on dual fuel: the heat pump heats for as long as the cold allows, then the backup heating unit takes over when the mercury drops. That coordination calls for a thermostat that can manage several heating stages accurately. The Trane Priority TCONT24P1S52DA was designed for this role, and it adds a Wi-Fi 6 connection, a glass touchscreen and built-in diagnostics your contractor can check remotely.

A smart thermostat for 24 V systems of any brand

Compatibility

The Priority installs on any standard 24 V system, Trane or another brand: single-stage, two-stage or multi-speed. It handles gas, oil and electric heating and hydronic systems (radiant or forced-air), as well as heat pumps and dual fuel systems. In a conventional configuration, it controls up to 2 heating stages and 2 cooling stages. With a heat pump or in dual fuel, it goes up to 5 heating stages and 2 cooling stages. That range suits a new furnace with an air conditioner just as well as a central heat pump with electric backup heat.

A clear screen and colour cues

The 4.3 in glass LED touchscreen, measured diagonally, responds to touch instantly and shows colour cues that tell you at a glance whether the system is heating or cooling. The unit measures 3.43 in high, 5.74 in wide and 0.812 in deep, a slim profile that stays discreet on the wall.

Connected, and controlled the way you want

The Priority connects over dual-band 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi 6. You control it from the Trane Home app, through Google Home or with Amazon Alexa. Occupancy detection and geofencing adjust the setpoint when the house empties out or when you come back, and custom programming sets your comfort and setback periods. These features work together to avoid heating or cooling an empty house.

Sensors for problem rooms

A bedroom over the garage or a basement office does not feel the same temperature as the hallway where the thermostat is mounted. The Priority accepts up to six BAYSENSEAW00UAA wireless temperature and humidity sensors, sold separately, which can sit on a stand or mount on the wall. The thermostat then takes into account the actual temperature of the rooms you live in.

Diagnostics that change after-sales service

Built-in Trane diagnostics provide more than 20 Smart Diagnostic Alerts (SDA) for 24 V systems. With Dealer Remote Access (DRA), which you authorize, your contractor can check the system's status and prepare the service call before even heading out. For you, that means a faster diagnosis and better-prepared visits.

Energy savings

In dual fuel, precise stage management favours the heat pump for as long as it is the most advantageous option, and occupancy detection avoids maintaining full comfort when no one is home. Over a Quebec winter, it is these avoided hours of operation that lighten the bill.

The Priority in the Trane lineup

Trane offers the Priority as a replacement option for the XL824. The XL824 keeps a built-in Z-Wave bridge and an Ethernet connection, while the Priority focuses on Wi-Fi 6, the glass screen, multiple wireless sensors, occupancy detection and advanced diagnostics. The simpler XR724 has a black-and-white screen. For a new heat pump or dual fuel installation, the Priority is the most current model of the three.

Installation and commissioning by AirGreen

A quick, careful installation

The Priority's backplate includes push-in terminals and a built-in bubble level, which speeds up the wiring and ensures a perfectly straight installation. Our technicians first check the existing wiring, the 24 V supply and the number of conductors available for your heating and cooling stages. Commissioning is done through the Trane Technician app, which also allows remote configuration: equipment types, stages, dual fuel settings and thresholds.

Custom settings

We then pair the thermostat with your Wi-Fi network, the Trane Home app and, if you wish, Google Home or Alexa. We set up a starting schedule, turn on occupancy detection and geofencing according to your preferences, and install the wireless sensors in the rooms that need them.

Maintenance

The thermostat only needs an occasional wipe of the screen with a soft cloth. The diagnostic alerts let you know if the system needs attention. To keep those alerts useful, have your furnace and heat pump serviced every year and replace the filter at the recommended intervals.
