"Never Again by a Trance from Energy Direct"
In 2005 I purchased a Trane Furnace model TUYo80R9v3W, they installed something else because they could not fit the model I chose. The mid efficiency model has a five year warranty on part and labor. After four year in the winter the circuit board gave out and we were without heat for some time. Yet again, yesterday January 6th, 2011 the furnace broke down again and it appears to be yet another major problem. It is -10 outside and my husband is just getting over pneumonia. It is approx. 16 degree Celsius in the house right now. Nedless to say I have contacted a lawyer because I do not intend on paying another $4000.00. We have been maintaining the furnace and had it clean regularly.

"2-stage Comfort"
We brought our very first home, and the house had the 1968 furnace in it, and gas budget was about $175 a month. After a couple of months, the fan motor went out. Time for an update. My parents had a Trane in the house i grew up in, and been very pleased with it. I called local Trane dealer to give up a quote, and got what I thought was a fair price. I have a Trane XV90 two stage gas furnace with variable speed blower. The unit is 6 years old, and never had any issues. I do my annual fall check up to make sure all is good before I fire it off for the heating season. The unit is paired up with the Honeywell IAQ stat, and the comfort from the two stage is great for our Minnesota winter. I'd get another Trane if we need to get a new one. FYI, I work retail, and bad comments/review are going to be heard more than a happy ones! So, don't let these review stop you from getting a new system.

"Any Brand Including Trane"
I am professional, in HVAC industry, it is not the equipment that causes problems, 95% of the time. Guess what it is, most of the time home owner who doesn't maintain the equipment and offten is the half qualified Installer who doesn't size it right and wrongly installes it. Thats the problem 95% of the times. When my company installes any of the brands, our customers enjoy trouble free comfort for many years to come. No we are not cheap guys, we do charge for our expert work. Those guys that complain, stop blaiming someone else, it probably is your fault. Think about it!

"Do NOT Buy a TRANE FURNACE!"
There was a trane furnace in our house brand new when we moved in...it quit working with in two days of moving into our very first ever home. We had it replaced with another trane cause we thought there would be warranty... Big Mistake! We have now had our 2nd one for 3 years, and every winter it quits working....it cycles on and off but will not blow heat! We live in Northern MN where it is -20 degrees. We can't go with out heat. Conveniently there is NO SERVICE REPAIR SHOP THAT WILL EVEN LOOK AT THIS PIECE OF CRAP within 2 hrs of us and NO TOLL FREE NUMBER TO CALL. Trane...you are awful and shouldn't be in Business. You don't stand behind your product or have anyone who can fix them or that we can call for help. Thanks for taking all my Christmas money yet again this year. We Drop kicked your furnace and are putting in a new furnace from a company that stands behind their product and has SERVICE!

"Trane Furnace"
This is in response to many of the reviews, including the one by LEH. It is very important to know that a large majority of the problems are from improper installation. When fittings are loose, its probably because they arent tightened properly at install. Or the install/service company didn't solder the joints properly and is covering their own mistakes by blaming it on the equipment. Also, mechanical valves do go back...but most likely the sensing bulbs for these valves were removed during install when the joints were soldered and they burned the vales up. Also, water leaks are almost always from poor installation....otherwise they would be replacing the drain pans inside the units. Just be sure you know WHO installed the unit and be sure of the job they did before you run around telling everyone the equipment is junk.

"Repeated Service Calls"
Had my trane furnace for 5 years now. During the summers while running the AC, water would leak from the top of the furnace down the front and into the bottom section of the furnace. Over a three year period 8 service calls were required to try to stop the leaking. Fortunately, my area has several trane dealers, so I finally gave up on the dealer I was using and switched to another company, that company was able to fix the problem the first time and the three years of leaking were finally corrected. I've used the current company for two years now and so far so good. Like mentioned by some, many issues mine included have more to do with the people working on them than the product itself. A furnace/ac/humidifier/air cleaner is only as good as the people who work on it and back up that work. Be sure you have more than one dealer in your area.

"LEH"
This is a letter about our so called "Cadillac" of all Heating and Air conditioning units; the Trane, Model xv90. The heating and a/c unit that we were replacing had been in our home since we had built the house in 1978…25 years. Other than just the regular maintenance of cleaning and filter changes, we had virtually no problems with the old unit. But since we were doing other remodeling in our home at the time , we felt that the furnace should be replaced due to its age and the fact that we wanted a newer and more energy efficient unit. We were assured by the sales person that this unit would be carefree and save us money on our heating / ac bills. The following is the failure history of our Trane:  10-10-03 - Purchased Unit  10-24-03 - Unit installed  04-23-04 - No Air conditioning (loose fitting – no Freon)  07-27-05 - No Air Conditioning (Replaced TVX Valve)  04-14-06 - No Air Conditioning (loose fittings – no Freon)  10-21-09 - Water leak (Replaced Transition Piece)  11-20-09 - Water leak (Replaced Heat Exchanger)  12-11-10 - Humidifier not working Needless to say, we are not happy with our Trane unit and my husband has, and will continue, to share our experience with the "Trane Wreck" in our home. I've convinced my husband that instead of just grumbling about the problems and regrets of purchasing this unit, we should put our story in writing so others will be informed of our experiences with Trane and may learn from our mistake.

"comvination gas heating 7 cooling air cond"
I've had way too many service calls to get the furnace to ignite. Its costing me about $50 per mo. to keep it working. Something has to be done to fix this ignitor problem.

"NEVER AGAIN"
We will never again buy a Trane furnace. We have had so many problems and then a year after our 5 year warranty it is discovered that the circuit board is bad. And that is why we had all the problems to begin with but they will not cover the part. Our service guy is wonderful and is "eating" the cost of the part because it is simply wrong that we have had all these problems. He said he will try to get reimbursed himself. But of course there are labor charges. Again we will keep our furnace guy but never again buy another Trane (wreck).

"trane wreck"
this system has broken down every year since I purchased it I purchased july 02 and by winter I had to replace a part on the heater which had never been used but the unit was over 90 days old needless to say I had to pay for a repair of $ 350.00 and I have have to replace a part every winter so when someone tells me they want to purchase a trane I tell them it is a trane wreck ready to happen and don't throw your money out the window. I did report to the better business bureau the information I received was it was out of the part warranty who would run heat in oklahoma heat.
