"Throwing control board bad code"
Our Trane furnace is just over a year old. Top of the line last year. We have replaced the transformer and the board. It is getting power to everything, but it is still showing the control board bad code(a new board was just put on today with a new transformer). What can cause this? Please respond asap as even though its "Spring", we are still getting snow and very low temp. Thank you.

""How to Stop a Trane""
This is how you stop a Trane. First of all you have to do is give up your hard earned money to purchase and install a Trane furnace. Yes...it will seem like a smart decision at the time because of their marketing however you will soon learn that all the hype is just that...HYPE! Now to stop the "Trane" all you have to do is wait and it will stop all by itself! In six years of ownership the motor control board has stopped working twice! The repair is over $350. They do not stand behind the warranty they offer up front and they do not know the meaning of customer service. The best thing to do is don't get one in the first place. I am now the proud owner of a $3000 Trane XR90 boat anchor because I refuse to give them anymore money and have it repaired...again. I have however come up with a solution for my predicament. I'm getting a new furnace from a competitor. Save yourself the grief, inconvenience and cost. DO NOT BUY TRANE HVAC EQUIPMENT...PERIOD!

"home owner"
I ca lled the customer service rep when my problems begain and recieved no good answer from anyone. We purchased the unit in 2003 and have had problems ever since. I think with all the service calls I have paid for the furnace twice. 5-10-06 venter motor,9-16-06 pressure switch,4-23-07 flame sensor.5-02-07 same problem,5-09-07 ventor motor again,5-18-07 heater exchange,5-25-07 ventor motor again,10-16-07 ventor motor again,4-22- 12 3 burners,4-23-12 gas valve. This time we got stung for another 480 dollars. With all the service charges of 80 dollars for each service charge I feel we have almost paid for the furnace twice and as far as any help from the customer service dept. they gave us no help at all.

Had a Trane xv90 installed 7 years ago, been great. Extremely quite with the variable speed fan....I've had to go to the basement to see if it was running. Always has been. No temp. swings and no service calls. Been a great product. Highly recommend.

"Trane XL90"
I have been very pleased with the Trane equipment. I have had other brands and Trane has proven the most reliable and least expensive to repair. I have regular preventative maintenance every year. The installing contractor has more to do with the performance than people give credit!

"Trane is quality"
Replaced old Trane furnance that was 25+ years old with a Trane XR90 unit. The old unit still worked, it was just time to get a more efficient unit. I expect that same quality as my prior Trane, time will tell. The new system is only three years old. So far everything works as promised. Quality builds loyalty and I'm sold on Trane!

"Great Furnance"
Purchased a entire Trane set-up, XC95m Furnance, Tran Clean ffects Aircleaner, Trane Humidifier and Trane X16i A/C. Replaced a Carrier set-up that went bad in 8 years and was nothing but a pain. The difference is amazing, I barely hear it running, gas bill has gone down over 30% and the unit is made like a tank. The temperture swings are none existent, about 1.5 degrees. I had some cold spots in the house in some upper bedrooms which soemhow this system removed. Its expensive, dropped $11,000 which was hard to do, but we prcied other options and a new carrier set-up was the same price and some other lesser known brands were only about $1,500 cheaper. I would make sure you get the best installer you can, its makes all the difference. Make sure they do a load analysis on your house, they found our return ducts too small for the A/C we had and the furnance BTU’s too small for the size of house. We paid the price of javing a poor instaler the last time.

"Trane Rocks!"
Replaced system with TRANE furnance XV95. Solid as a rock. Quite and efficient. No more blasts of air - keeps temperature constant with very little swings. Also noticed that I no longer get condensation on my windwos from the humidifer(AprilAire). Wish we had this furnance years ago.

"Top Quality"
New furnance installed 2 years ago and works perfectly. I've had probably 5 different furnances in my life: Carrier, York and Lennox. I liked the Lennox, but this Trane is a top quality furnance. I've seen savings in my gas bill and I can almost not hear it run at all. The fully modulating gas was a major reason I went with this model, expecting savings that only that techoogy could offer and was not disappointed. Highly recommended.

"TRANE HEATING AND COOLING"
So far, we have had good luck with our Trane xr90 High Efficiency and AC. We have had no problems. We have a large house over 120 yrs old, 2200 sq ft, and right now the gas company owes me almost $600.00 This is the second year for being on budget with the gas company. If you have problems, it is probably due to improper installation.

"Trane XR90 not working"
Woke up to 56 degrees and cold air blowing out the vents this morning. Had our Trane xr90 for 6 years. Nothing but problems since. Every single winter, it craps out and stops heating the house and requires maintenance. Everything under warranty so far, so that's good. My fear is in another few years when warranty is up, what happens then? I guess, I will be screwed and just have to pay for parts and maintenance each winter to keep this lemon running. Nothing runs like a Trane - what a joke.

Review:
"poorly engineered furnance."
Sorry but xr90 Trane has been a problem since year two of installation. The firebox was replace due to leaking water from within - false starts - up to six times before igniting caused the following changes - a mother board - a programmable thermostat - when I believe the bottom line was insufficient air from the inlet tube the major problem. The breaking point was failure of the air conditioner compressor fan recently. Installing a Carrier Infinity series gas furance with a 95% afue which includes a long warranty period.

Word of Mouth
Posters on this HVAC forum debate the qualities of Trane, Carrier, and Lennox and most seem to agree that Trane comes out on top where quiet efficiency is concerned but loses in terms of price. Most believe that proper sizing of a furnace and good installation is more important than the brand.
Warranty
On the XR90 furnace, Trane offers a lifetime limited warranty on the heat exchanger and a 5-year warranty on the internal functional parts. All purchases must be registered with Trane within 60 days of purchase or the warranty will not be valid. Additional exclusions may apply and it is always a good idea to review the warranty with your professional installer.
