Review:
We've had this unit for 6 years, after 3 years the coil was replaced
under warranty - now 1 year out of warranty the coild needs to be
replaced again - this time for 2,000.00 - Is there any help out there??
The repairman recommended a new unit telling us that this will probably
happen again in another few years and that it would be cheaper - does
trane offer any assistance in their clearly defective units

Review:
Based on my recent experience with not only Trane but owning rentals
I've tried others. Basically they are all the same, it is the luck of
the draw to determine how long they will last. My solution is to have
all my homes covered by Old Republic Home Warranty. Replaced a recent
3.5 ton unit for $55/initial house call and $200 disposeal fee to haul
awya the old unit. 3 years ago Old Republic replaced another unit that
one was $45/initial house call and $50 to haul off the old unit. I will
always have Old Republic on my homes as long as us products are junk.

Review:
Leaks freon, had to have coil replaced after 1 year. Still having issues
with freon leaks. I could've bought a whole new unit with what I've had
to fork out in repairs. This ac is totally useless!

Here I sit in an 87 degree house, with my lovely new Trane ac unit
sitting in thr attic blowing hot air. The repair technician just left,
and the compressor is just shot. This unit was turned on after
installation at 7pm on 6/22. The house started warming at 3pm 6/23. Glad
my money lasted me a whole 20 hours of Trane quality cooling!

Review:
We built a home in 2006 and our 3year old unit ttbo4 unit compressor is
bad and will not cover the labor cost to place unit to the tune of 600
bucks! Now they are telling me we have to purcase new refrigerent to
boot? Trane should stand behind their product when it breaks! We would
go out of business if we treated out customers like this! Do not buy a
trane! By the way our capasitor has been replaced already as well...
What a piece of crap!

Review:
We purchased our Trane ac in 2006 and have had to have the indoor
coil replaced.....TWICE! What are the chances of having two
defective coils within 3 years? Tells you something about Trane's
quality (or lack of).
Of course, the labor we had to pay for (around $500 for EACH instance!)
We completely regret ever having purchased this poor excuse for a premier air conditioner. They should rename their units TRAIN WRECK....which would be much more fitting!

Review:
I got a XL16i three years ago with 10 year warranty. a year later on a
hot Friday night, in July, in Florida, the outside fan failed, and the
compressor shut down completely from overheating. That's when I learned
dealers don't carry Trane parts. Had to wait for the Trane office to
open Monday for someone to get the part, then put it in.
The new fan failed a year later and again shut down the system on a Saturday, in the summer, in Florida. Again I had to wait until Monday for someone to go to Trane, get the part, and put it in.
Last year a few other things broke.
This year the evaporator coil went, and the replacement doesn't cool the house off completely.

Review:
I own 5 Trane units, 3 in my own home, and 1 each in two rental homes I
own. My personal home has had one unit continuously in need of repair,
and the latest was a complete replacement of evaporator coils. Very
expense. The rental home unit for one house lasted 10 months before the
compressor went out, and then it went out again 8 years later. The other
rental unit lasted 2 years before the compressor went out, and then
again two years after that. I am done with Trane. I am going back to
Carrier on my next unit that I purchase. The last Carrier unit I had
performed for 21 years without a hitch. I only replaced it with a Trane
for energy savings. Big mistake. I've spent a bunch of time and money
replacing the Tranes.

Review:
We purchased a new Trane Air Conditioner central heat and air system
which cost us $5000 and it has been a nightmare from day one. Almost
every year since we've had it, there has been one problem or another. We
were assured that the new system would save us money in our electric
bill but in all these years this has not been the case. Our old unit was
an old workhorse that actually cooled the house. The Trane seems to have
problems keeping up with the hot Florida summers. The worst problem of
all has been the customer service. We cannot seem to find any air
conditioner company that can figure out how to fix this huge lemon in my
attic. Also when they installed the unit they did not replaced the old
unit's pan that catches the water drips so now there is a huge gap and
water falls straight onto the ceiling. Trying to get a hold of corporate
headquarters is almost impossible since they do not publish their
telephone numbers! Just do yourself a favor and do not get a trane unit,
I wish I hadn't
