"A piece of sh--t"
I got a Trane xe80 installed in October of 1998 and to this date have replaced controller floor fan. I regularly change the air filter and that's it. It has broken down so much. We have had repair man here so much he should move in. For 14 years it been look at 17 times. When my Trane does need replacing, I would definitely not get another Trane. I wanted to write this review because it seem trane make sh--t and when I do pull it out I will put it up the ceo rass.

"CHECK my last review"
This is my second review and as of now I have paid twice what the original price was. Just received another $401.25 bill. If I could I would tear it out of my house and set it outside with the lemon sign on it......

"Piece of Junk"
I replace my 40 year old furnace in 1999 with a Trane. While I never had a problem with the old one, I constantly have to repair the Trane. Parts are hard to come by because of their "exclusive" distributorship arrangements. I would never buy another Trane product.

"Running Smoothly Since 1988"
Since 1988 our Trane xe-60 home heater has been running wonderfully. I decided to visit this website because we now have to replace a gas valve on the unit which will cost $400 with installation. The unit has only needed very minor repairs in the past -- both times it was a themocoupler that I was able to easily replace. I thought today maybe we will spend the $1,400 to have a new Goodman Unit installed. My concern is that the new heating units can't be compared with the units made 20 years ago as almost new units are made in China and like the appliances made in China are of very poor quality. It's as though the new stuff is slapped together by slave labor that has no interest in quality but putting together as many units as quickly as possible and this may very well be the problem. My Trane xe-60 heater has been running smoothly for years. I recommend it!

"lemon-lemon"
I purchased a Trane furnance- central air and April air in 2004.. every winter and spring I spend hundreds to maintain this unit. Blind and Sons says I need to have a service call every 6 months to replace filter and check out equipment. This unit has not worked well ever. I had to contact Trane and they put in a new motor board after two years. Blind and sons were going to charge me $800.00. I spent over 5,000.00 in this unit in 2004. Why do I need to spend 440.00 a year to maintain it.as it wont function unless they make a service call. Blind and sons tell me I cannot purchase filters on my own..they need to come out twice a year and charge me 89.00 each for each service call the filters cost 175.00...this is not right. I'm writing to the Attorney General of Ohio.

"Super furnace"
I have now had my Trane high efficiency furnace for (only) 6 months, but I am delighted with it. It is unbelievably quiet, even in the basement! The installation was quick and clean.

"Pretty rockin furnace"
I got a Trane xe80 installed in October of 1998 and to this date have never had a single issue at all. I regularly change the air filter and that's it. It has never broken down not even once. We have yet to have a repair man actually have his hands inside the furnace. For 14 years to date this has been the best buy for a furnace. It is paired with a 1972 Sears central air conditioner and both seem to make a great pair. Condsidering my gas bill is only 60 dollars a month on equalized payments that's great for a 1200 square foot house. When my Trane does need replacing, I would definitely get another Trane. I wanted to write this review because I always see negative reviews. But this one is positive and I recommend it.

"Nothing sounds like a Train--except a Trane furnace"
Trane xv90 is 14 years old, but with limited use (supplemented by other heat source) in a moderate climate, it has had about 1/3 of expected normal usage over that time period. Though the company sales 'literature' stated that a Trane is so quiet you will hardly know when it's operating......the inducer draft motor was unacceptably loud from day 1. Trane representative replaced it 4 weeks after initial installation and it was still annoyingly loud (unless tv drowned it out), especially in light of expectations generated by Trane. Over time, with wear, the noise from the unit came to resemble a jet aircraft engine. Just replaced the inducer and circuit board with a conversion kit ( original emc inducer motor no longer manufactured) with parts and labor retailing at $1,600. It now operates more quietly than it ever has.This Trane furnace has been an overly expensive gas delivery system. Next time I'll go for simpler and send a bit more to the gas company and much less to Trane and various service personnel.

"Could have been better"
Furnace has been used through 7 winters. A friend (professional hvac repairman) gave us the sad news that the unit is no longer safe to operate (substantial cracks in heat exchanger). It also has a leak in the coil. The corrosion was caused by a galvanic reaction because of the use of dissimilar metals in contact with each other in a moist environment, brilliant! (I learned not to do that when I was just a wee co-op.) The propane control valve has also corroded to the point of not operating. There were a few other issues. All in all it will cost about the same to replace as repair. We'll be replacing with another brand.
