Oxbox -- a high quality, affordable HVAC brand that has been endorsed by Trane since 2019, allows consumers to modernize their homes with more cost efficient and sustainable systems, including air conditioners, furnaces, heat pumps, air handlers, and more, according to company sources.
Additionally, by installing Oxbox in multi-family settings, property managers will provide their clients with comfortable living conditions, while also attracting new tenants, sources report.
Contracting Business spoke recently with Bryan Davenport, general manager for Oxbox HVAC, to learn more about the origins of Oxbox and Trane’s interest in the brand.
“We launched Oxbox in 2019 as an opportunity for Trane Technologies to pursue more of the value market. We have strong distribution partners for our premium Trane and American Standard brands, yet we know that much of the market is served by other types of distribution. Therefore, we launched Oxbox in an effort to create a new distribution channel, that targets a value distribution model and value contractor audience,” Davenport said.
To produce the units, Trane relies on a variety of global sourced manufacturers that it endorses along with the Oxbox name, as well as the Trane Technologies endorsement.
Oxbox is available as a gas furnace, an air handling platform, indoor coils andDavenport said feedback has been positive for the quality and durability of Oxbox.
“Oxbox aesthetics are great, and the simplicity of our warranty has resonated with our audience. When it comes to the value space, we know there can be lot of complications in the industry related to product registrations, and we’ve eliminated that with Oxbox. Our warranty is on the home, not the homeowner, for the duration of the warranty. Contractors don’t have to take on the burden of the registration, which many do for those homeowners,” Davenport explained.
Oxbox distribution originated in the Southeastern U.S, but is now available across North America, in brick-and-mortar locations and a variety of online platforms.
