"Trane XL15i"
I had a Trane unit before and it lasted 20 years and was still working but I took advantage of a sale and tax break and replace the heat pump and air handler with new ones that are more energy efficient. The new XL15i and 2/4Tee air handler work efficiently and are much quieter than my old unit. So far I am very please with the new system and it's heating and cooling of the house.

"Don't Buy a Trane!"
Purchased a new home with a new Trane unit (installed by Del-Air) and 4 years later the compressor failed ($750). A year and a half later had to have technician out for Freon recharge ($210). One month later coil had a leak and needed to be replaced ($750). Neither Del-Air nor Trane offered to stand behind this product. Do not buy a Trane or let Del-Air install your unit unless you don't mind paying for their mistakes.

"CONSIDERING TRANE TOP-OF-THE-LINE"
Wow...i thought Trane was it! All the bad reviews on the new units just creep me out. We have three Ruud a/c units which are 23 years old. They run fine. Air handlers are rusted out and leaking...Considering 3 THREE new XL20i's to replace existing. All the negative comments about new equipment have me wondering about just keeping the old units and getting a fix on the condensation leaks.... Someone please help me understand why the newer units seem to suck?

"Mad contractor"
As a contractor I despise Trane water source heat pumps always breaking down and I have to applogize to my customers. Don't buy Trane. It's hard to stop a Trane, that is unless you turn it on!

"90 degrees in my toddler's room"
We bought 2 Trane units for our two story house in 2005. Starting in 2007 each ac coil has had to be replaced once a year. Tonight both are acting up again (oh! It's been a year!!!) and my poor toddler's room was 90 degrees at bedtime! Thank goodness for ceiling fans and the fact that the house cools down after sunset. The main problem with each coil is that they all develop pinhole leaks and then the freon leaks out and we end up having them replaced... sometimes I question if we are doing something wrong (we tried to help by having our windows tinted) but after reading about everyone's similar problems, I know it is not us...

"unhappy customer"
New heat pump installed in 2005 during house addition / remodel. local dealer installed. it has failed twice in 4 years due to leaks. each time I had to pay the same dealer $500 to repair the leak and replace the freon. they said contact trane for warranty. trane website sucks. try to contact them is useless. email screen has bugs and errors and forces you to reset and rekey all info multiple times.

"Not Happy"
Coil went out on our unit in the house. Repair man said they did not carry this coil anymore and it would be 3000.00 to have one made for this unit or we could just replace it for about the same amount of money. I can't believe that a unit only 8 yrs old the company would not have parts. We bought the Trane thinking we were buying the best. Boy we were wrong. Never will buy another and will also tell other home owners to stay away from them

"Good Heat pump"
Well, I got bad news today, my heatpump needs replaced. I've had a 2.5ton Trane heatpump since 1989. I had one outside board replaced and and inside switch. Added some freon every two or three years but otherwise, I think it's been a very good unit. Now, I hear that Trane doesn't make a very good unit. Well, I was very happy with this one.

"15 Year Old Trane XE1000"
Got a new Trane xe1000 Heat Pump in 1994. Air Handler had to be replaced around 1999. About 2 years ago, the coil started to corrode. Overall, the heat pump only needed about $500 in repairs in 15 years, but the air handler hasn't lasted for 10 years and now am having to replace the whole system since r22 will be hard to get after 12/31/2009. Would recommend seeing if there is a better system out there.

"Replace evaporator coil after 18 months"
Spent $10,000 dollars on Trane unit for my beach house and thought I bought the best. Less than 18 months later the evaporator coil had to be replaced at a labor cost of $422. I bought because of the name but am very disapointed with this product and am concerned about future repairs. I've owned American General and other brands and Trane is all hype and junk for the money.
