"Truly, nothing runs like a Trane!"
This was a replacement furnace in my office building, after a careless manager destroyed the first one though over-use. This is industrially designed, very rugged, and runs beautifully. My only fault with it was the price - but after using it for the better part of a year and through some of the coldest winter weather I've had here I'm satisfied that it was worth it. I haven't yet had to repair it, and it runs day and night without fault. Ours is a large manufacturing facility, and this furnace heats the offices and sales floor. It's been a great product to have, and I'd recommend this brand to anyone who needs high-performance heating.

"Great Furnance"
Installed a new Trane 90 furnace. Installers were great and the system has been flawless. Our old system has so many installation flaws that resulted in the prior system prematurely failing. Look out for undersized return ducts, gas pressure issues, leaking air-handler(rusted the heat exchanger), leaking ducts and undersized system(causing system to work much harder than designed). All these were issues with our prior installation. To those that doubt - yes bad installation causes issues such as blower motors burning out, circuit board shorting out due to spikes from blower motor, etc. Our prior system was a mid-line Carrier set-up, the issues were with the installation and not the brand. The Trane systems has been great, very happy.

"Very Staisfied"
Built a new home and chose Trane over Lennox and Carrier. It's a large home with over 4,000sf. We got one of the larger systems they made, and put in zoning. I suppose most major brands have allot in common, we selected Trane partly because of the installer. It's been 1 year now and the system has worked perfectly. Make sure you do your homework and understand how the systems work together. A good installer should be able to point out what works best.

"Love it"
Had a new Trane Furnace/ Trane Clean Effects, A/c and Coil installed. Replaced on 9 year old Lennox system. Hated the Lennox, always had problems. The new system is a fully modulating gas value and I have yet to hear the furnace kick on full. There are NO temperature swings in the house, just like the installer said. It keeps the temperature so close to the setting is unbelievable. I've also notice that with the old system I used to get condensation on the windows when it gets really cold outside, no more - I'm guessing its related to the temperature swing being so minimal it doesn't need to 'blast' humidified air into the house.

"Review"
We bought our furnace in 1999 and have averaged at least one repair per year. Everything from control boards to igniters. We have spent a bout $1300 in repairs. I can't reccomend to anyone to buy one except it has heating well when it did run. We have been without heat several times including 20 below weather.

"NOT pleased with the Trane furnace"
We remodled about 7 years ago and were advised that the Trane was the best furance. So we purchased a 2 stage mid efficient modle. Were were told by the installers that the unit was maintenance free. However, the next winter we found out otherwise. We went on vacation during the winter season and left our 2 teenage girls at home. The last two days of the trip the furnace only blew cold air. Fortunately, my son came over and started up the fireplace to keep the house warm. When I got home I called our dealer and was told that the problem I have is likely a carboned up heat censor, and notwithstanding that I purchased the additional warranty, this was deemed to be a maintenace issue and hence the service people were instructed not to service this under our coverage. The next day I called the service manager, who came over and installed a new flame censor for free. He showed me how to remove it and to annually clean off the carbon with a fine sand paper. I now do this every year in October when I install my new air filter. Even with this, the other day (March 30) the house got cold over night and I had to clean off the censor again. Its a good thing that I know what to do now, but this could potentially be a dangerous situation in the middle of winter for unknowing people or for someone who is away for an extended period of time. For this reason alone, I would NOT recommed the purchase of the TRANE.

"Great"
Had X95m Gas Furnance installed two years ago. Could not wish for mnore. Its quite and my heating bills dropped by 35% and cooling bill dropped a whopping 45%. Installer was great, did follow-ups to verify performance and our satisfaction. Had a 6 year old Carrier System replaced that was nothing but problems from day 1. Make sure you find a very good installer, a great furnance installed poorly will perform poorly. Be carefull of low-ball prices the same way you would of overpriced products.

"Ignition problems"
I had a XV90 Trane installed in my new house in 2001. The winter of 2009-2010 and this past winter I've had four different professional furnace repair guys try to get the burner's to light consistly. I've spend over 700.oo dollars and they can't keep it working. Now it's failed again. My gas line pressure has been proven multiple times to be good. All they seem to be able to do is change the igniter four times in 15 months. I'll never own another Trane.

"Keep warm this winter with a good furnace!"
I recently bought (this last fall) a new furnace for my house. My old furnace, a Coleman brand, finally gave up on the first cold night of the fall, so I knew it was time to buy a new one before the really cold weather came. I looked at many brands and models, and decided to buy a Trane XB80 furnace, as this is the model my neighbor had, who has an identical house. The neighbor stated that he too had looked at many different furnaces, but that decided on the Trane unit based on the cost, the output of the heat, and the quietness of the furnace. I couldn't be happier with my selection, as the furnace has worked flawlessly for the past few months,even when the temperature got down to below zero for a few days. The furnace has an air cleaner that filters the air that helps keep the dust and pollen from blowing through the house. The XB80 is also very quiet, and energy efficient. My monthly gas bill is abut 15% lower than it was last year for the same period of time. I would recommend this unit to any of my friends!
