Review:
Since I have had this Trane furnace serviced by Sunshine Heating of
Waupca, Wisconsin, they have replaced a sensor that has gone bad. Now if this sensor has had problems why wasn't it looked into or is this
another Toyota keeping information private and unknown to the buyer.
That means from now on I will be paying over $200.00 for this sensor.
When I contacted Sunshine Heating about this problem, I was told that
someone would get back to me. So far no one has. Jane Hoffman
xerxes4442@yahoo.com 414-562-4160. PS. This furnace is in my home in
northern Wisconsin so I have to leave the heat on in the winter so that my pipes don't freeze. Please send me an answer or call me. Thanks

Review:
I have a Trane 78 furnace and 3-ton A/C unit which were installed when
the house was built in '92. These were probably builder-grade units at
the time. I've had an annual cleaning/maintenance check since they were new, and change the filter about every 8-10 weeks. They have never failed and been very reliable. I also have an attached humidifier, and aside from normal maintenance, this has been reliable as well. I was told by a service tech that the original installers did a good job. The units are beginning to be noisier, and I am looking to replace both this year while I can take advantage of the tax credit and utility rebates. I'm getting proposals from 4 contractors, but expect my new ones will be Tranes.

Review:
After two years in service, the circuit board and transformer failed
on my Trane xr80 and thus needed to be replaced. Although under
warranty, it still cost me $350 of labor and warranty service fees
from an authorized Trane dealer (highway robbery at its best). My
other unit is a Carrier--it's been in service for 13 years--with no
major service required.
The TRANE XR80 is a piece of crap!

Review:
Worst mistake of my life, getting this product. First, the new furnace
made the whole house shake when on high. After fighting with the install
company, I had to go back to Home Depot to get repairs made. Now, every
time it cycles onto high speed it cuts out, cools down, restarts. En
Blue the install company always attempt to blame me, when did you change
filter etc. Just not a good experience. At least, it came with a 10 yr
warranty. Looks like a new furnace in 7 yrs. cause I can't afford the
service costs.

Review:
Once the Trane furnace was installed, my A/C kept pumping out humidity. It could be 30% humidity outside, but inside, it was 65% humidity. Coil was replaced and installer came back 32 times to try to fix it. Also, 2 independent cos. We're hired to see what the problem was. Trane installer and the others all agreed it was not the A/C itself. Long story short, lawsuit filed, installer's insurance will pay $7500 and Trane offered only $1000 for new furnace and $10,000 worth of mold in our basement--see you in court Trane.

Review:
I recently had to have the ignitor replaced at considerable expense even
though the part was covered. What a joke really! Wished I never
installed this Trane furnace. What is Trane going to do with all these
ignitor issues that I read about? Seems like there should be a recall
of this part. Anyone else agree?

Review:
Never fails. Every year it breaks down (twice one winter). Really
disappointed considering how much I paid for this unit and I thought I
was getting a reliable name. Not! I do not recommend at all.

Review:
I have had numerous ignitors, circuit boards, and thermocouplers
replaced on my xv80 over the seven years I've had it. Love it when it
works, but budget $400-500 a year to repair it. I highly recommend
another product.

Review:
Mother board went in the first month. Replaced it with warranty. Changed ignitor switch twice. Warranty apparently had expired and I had bought an extended warranty with more money and useless. None of the tech told me if the "problem wasn't fixed by changing it again and if it was likely the motherboard again. No warranty. Called a Trane representative on Tuesday and had to recall again today, Thursday. She hasn't heard anything back from Trane on seeing if I could get some sort of extended warranty. Not looking to go right now. Will I ever buy a Trane again? No no no. No service, no warranty and now I have no money.

Review:
I installed a Trane in my home and also in everyone else's homes I worked in. I am reading these reviews and feel all the negative ones are created not by the maker but by the installers. If you put a great piece of equipment to a crappy duct system, it is going to have problems. The furnaces performance are only as good as the duct system and installers putting it in. So don't take these reviews as gold. I have not had one problem with any of the equipment from Trane and I have installed over 250 units around the Bay area and have had no problems with any of them, none!!!!!!!. So before condemning a Trane, look at the installer!
