"AVOID THE TRANE WRECK"
Every major component of my heat pump (except evaporator coil) has been replaced and the system is less than 7 years old. This includes compressor, condenser coil, fan motor, reversing valve and capacitors plus numerious refrigerant leaks repaired. One repair technician commented that he had never experienced so many problems with a system this new. Avoid the Trane wreck.

"Don't buy a TRANE."
I am looking at my $205.00 bill for my third service call on my less than two year old trane heat pump, and thought I would try to help others make a good decision about whether or not to buy a trane heat pump. Don't!! I was warned by a friend in the hvac business that a large percentage of the service calls he made were on trane units, but at that time Trane was offering a very good same as cash purchase plan so I gave it a go. Got the extended warranty which, as it turns out, was a good idea because the parts were free, however labor is not. I have never been a big porponent of extended warranties, but if you must buy a trane, I highly recommend it because there is a high probability that you will need it.

"Noisy, inefficient and unreliable"
After less than 3 years, I hired a Carrier HVAC contractor to remove the TRANE. Obviously, he did so very willingly. I think he was tired of working on it, frankly!!! (After the warranty had expired, I called in a different contractor to maintain the unit, HOPING he could solve my problems) Higher utility bills and unreliable performance were my major problems with the Trane unit. I had to cancel my son's birthday party because the A/C broke on an August afternoon (the unit was less than 5 months old!!!!). Twice, the compressor leaked PURON. After the warranty had expired, I decided to bite the dust and change out the unit. I am very pleased with my new Carrier unit.

"Should have never bought a Trane"
After deciding to replace our propane with all-electric, we decided on a Trane heat pump that was installed in the fall of 2009 in our 2400 sq ft home. Since installation, the entire unit has been replaced, a fan has been replaced, freon has regularly been added, something else had to be replaced because the last person put in too much freon... It has been endless. The installers have been out so many times (over a dozen), I can't even keep count. Wish I would have known then to document every single call and visit, because "amazingly" they don't! Got so fed up with installers that we had a Trane rep come out that went over the entire unit side-by-side with the installers but wow, didn't find a thing wrong. My electric bill has skyrocketed though the thermostat is never set above 72 on even the coldest day and my house is never truly warm in the winter. Vents blow cold air in the winter. Auxiliary heat stays on for days, which seems contradictory. Now, as warmer days approach and we put our a/c on, the house stayed 4-5 degrees above where I set the thermostat to and never cooled off. Probably going to need some more freon because that makes sense with a unit less than 3 years old! Disgusted with both Trane and our installers. Wish we had done more research before going with, presumably, the best.

"Inefficiency!"
Because of a number of breakdowns on my former electric fueled unit I decided to go with the more 95% efficient propane unit. Not! To heat my home in the warmest winter ever it is costing me twice the price of my former unit. It is burning 5.6 gallons per day with the thermostat set at 68 degrees (formerly 72 degrees on electric unit) in my 2300 sq ft home. When I the installers to check it out they found nothing wrong. Any suggestions or comments are welcome.

"Trane - Absolute Junk!"
Installed on December 27, 2010. First compressor went out in March, 2011. Compressor replaced under warranty. Second compressor went out in June, Trane authorized replacement of entire unit only if I paid to replace the A-coil, which I paid to replace. Third compressor went out in November and it took me a month to get the installer to come back out to inspect and decide the compressor was out again. In the mean time, the emergency heat has been on along with space heaters. Installer tried to blame it on my electrical service, but I've had 2 licensed electrical contractors inspect and tell me there is nothing wrong with the electric. Unit is now sitting unhooked, contractor refuses to hook it back up and all bills have been paid. I guess it's time for an attorney.

"Bad experience"
I had a xr 11 unit installed when I made my screened in porch into a sun room. So it is one unit for one room, about 300 sq. ft. Unit installed in June, 2005. First compressor replaced under warranty July, 2008. Second compressor replaced June, 2011 with me paying $880 for labor. Now I have a bad TXV valve which will cost $1,200 for parts and labor. I called Trane on Dec 10, 2011 said would look into it. Called again December 20, still no determination. Called January 4, 2012, still nothing. Called January 19 and was told the file was closed on January 9, but did not contact me. This is a piece of junk. My other units, not Trane, have worked for 20 years without a problem. Not only is the product bad, the customer service is just as bad. I'll never buy another

"SMELLS LIKE MOLD!"
I have had the Trane Heat pump for two years now. Three months after installation we noticed a foul smell/mold like every time the unit was blowing so I called the installer and he told me that sometimes the coils on Trane units sometimes can grow mold on them and they have to be cleaned, come on this is the "the top of the line" model and now my home smells like dirty feet/ mold! Not only that, the cleaning can cost as much as $200.00. Two years into owning this heat pump and I still have to endure smelling this problem. Would have been nice of the installer to have informed us of this problem especially since I had worked with some of the family. (yes, they were aware of the history of this problem with Tranes. Not only the problem with the mold smell I don't feel the unit heats as well as I would like and sometimes I even have to wear a jacket when the thermostat is at 73 in the winter . The air just doesn't have a warm feeling. I will not purchase another Trane.

"Trane Wreck"
The Trane heat pump has been nothing but a headache since we bought the house. The heat pump was installed by the contractor or builder not sure. It's noisy and just a pain. The following year the compressor seized up and had to be replaced because our machine (which vibrates horribly) rubbed a hole in a line. Every year or so we have had to do some repairs or have something fixed on it. Wires have shorted out, the fan blower motor went on Christmas Day 2 years ago. Also one of the boards shorted out and caused a small electrical fire. Thank goodness for circuit breakers. Now after nine years the compressor has shorted out. We are replacing it with a Carrier or a Rheem just haven't made up our mind yet. We considered fixing it but considering the repair guy also found several shorted wires and two bad copassitors we figure its not worth fixing it. So we will replace it with hopefully something better.
