Trane XE80 Furnace Overview

Installed in North Canada lows of -20 sometimes for months in 1996 has worked with not one problem for 23 years and still going. I will get another Trane soon.

Yes, 22 years. Been a very good unit for my small house. Heating bills are very good. Same for the ac unit put in at the same time. I’ll get another Trane.

I acquired my furnace along with my house when I purchased it six years ago. So, no telling how old it actually is. As I explain the rest of this, I am loudly knocking on wood! However, 90% of what I look for in a furnace is for it to keep me and my wife nice and warm during the harsh Ohio winter months and my furnace does that and has not let us down yet. When it kicks on, I feel like the neighbors can probably hear it. But, the noise only lasts a few minutes and then it runs smoothly while keeping us warm. We have not yet had any repairs on it, despite its clunky start up. We are considering having someone out to just do some preventative maintenance. The furnace is in a closet in my basement and is pretty compact in size. I am no furnace expert, but for us, it is out of the way, doesn’t take up a ton of space, and keeps us warm. For that, we can live with the loud start up and we would definitely buy a Trane again.

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.

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.
