Trane Reviews

Terrible experience with Trane system. Installed August 2024, now it won't cool under 72 degrees and runs all the time. Had 2 different companies come out to check. The first, the original installers said I had pests in my roof that chewed up the ducting. The second I called said I had a leak somewhere on the ground floor. By the way, I had a pest company come out and they could not find any issues in my attic. Now I am stuck with a hopeless unit and out 14 grand. Never buy from them.

Headline: Premature pipe failure and hard-to-find leaks on a 4-year-old unit⭐⭐ (2 out of 5 Stars). I bought a Trane HVAC unit because of the brand's reputation for premium quality and reliability. Unfortunately, that has not matched my reality. Within the first four years of ownership, the system developed a slow, elusive refrigerant leak that left us without proper cooling and required multiple diagnostic visits to locate.

Had a unit install in December 2024 the a/c unit is 4TTR, MFR Date September 2024. The unit worked fine until May 2026 that when I find out that the unit won't turn on. After calling several HVAC companies we found that there was a leak in the system. Upon doing further searching the HVAC company found that urine had caused a leak in one of the aluminum lines thus the warranty doesn't cover the part of which I wasn't aware of until I was told by the HVAC company. Why doesn't the unit have a sticker stating that pet urine will void the warranty and why doesn't the installer inform you of this when you purchase the unit. I now have to replace the entire unit for $5,000. Complete B.S. that should be a class action lawsuit against Trane and American Standard.

My brand-new unit has failed 4 times in 5 years (Coils, multiple sensors, and a cracked internal drain pan). This isn't just "bad luck"; it is a clear pattern of poor manufacturing and zero quality control. It is obvious that Trane failed to manage their production quality during the pandemic era, and now the customers are the ones paying the price for their lemons. What is worse is their complete lack of responsibility. When you call them, they hide behind their dealers. When the machine is clearly defective, they make it nearly impossible to get a corporate Rep to actually inspect the unit. They have the service history; they know this machine is a disaster. Yet, they choose to be irresponsible and leave the homeowner stranded with a "new" machine that requires annual repairs. Trane used to represent quality, but now they just represent overpriced junk and bureaucratic excuses. Unacceptable.

I’ve had so many problems with my Trane HVAC unit, I wouldn’t know where to begin. Let’s just say my hvac is 3 years old and before that I had a 1973 HVAC and never had a problem with it for the 15 years at my house. I was only replacing it because the furnace was from the 50s and getting a little unsafe however I will never understand how a part (like the compressor) fails yet you still have to pay the outrageous labor fee and I get it the hvac installer shouldn’t have to foot the bill however it should be like a vehicle with a warranty as you don’t have to pay the labor fees on something that should just work! I mean, at least 5-7 years right?

Pure crap! Short and simple, leaking coil on the compressor, and somehow the thermostat went bad after. 3 years, both just out of warranty. Avoid Trane like the Plague! Crap system! Buyer beware with Trane.

Back in December 2008, had to replace the original commercial York unit in the house. At that time, Trane had most efficient unit in the marketplace. Went with a 3 Ton Trane XL16i. After 17 years of trouble-free service went, it started to talking to us. The electrical consumption doubled due to the compressor and heat strips failing. Cost to repair was over $5000.00 so decided to replace it. Due to the rising electrical rates increasing due to the data centers being installed in our state, decided to go with their most energy efficient unit. Had 3 Ton 20 Seer Tru-Comfort unit installed by Stonemen HVAC who did an outstanding job.

We bought a Trane furnace from a Trane Comfort Specialist and they didn’t install it to Trane installation guidelines, which could void our warranty, depending on the claim. No one is accepting responsibility for this, so we have to pay more to have it installed properly! The Trane Comfort Specialist program is just a way to sell more Trane products and get perks, it doesn’t help the consumer.

Hello. I had a air conditioning unit under warranty. I’ve been without air for weeks. They do not have any form of operations that warrants expedited service for customers. If you have your air conditioning unit out for weeks good luck! I had this unit for 4 years and it was suppose to last longer. Part came defective.

Purchased XR14 heat pump, very expensive and a year and a half in, not working. TXV valves are junk, can’t get parts, everything is so expensive, even though we have a 10-year warranty. Hasn’t worked since October 2025, still waiting on parts. Very poor customer service. Opened a case with Trane, a month ago, still haven’t been assigned a case manager per phone call today, and they don’t know when one will be assigned.

This is an update to a posting that is currently marked as under review. Roughly 1.5 years after moving into a new home the heat on a system stopped working and it turned out a coil had broken and leaked out all the refrigerant. The coil was replaced, but unfortunately the new coil also leaked and they had to bring another new one. This was pretty disappointing on a new system.

Bought a brand new system for my house. Over $17K installed. Used it for one winter and now the heat pump will not work, it just short cycles. Yeah, Trane will cover whatever part is broken, but I have to come out of pocket $450 to have it installed because Trane will not release the part to me to self-install. What happened to RIGHT TO REPAIR. This is a racket.

My AC unit was new after Ian. It stopped cooling in mid Nov. Or earlier as I wasn't in the house for a few months. The people who installed it have been trying to get the part since then. Now Trane is saying the part came in damaged and won't be available until mid February! Beyond frustrated. Will NEVER buy a trane unit again.

8-year-old Trane 2-ton unit, installed 2017. Replaced an old Lennox. I have had problems. The blower motor has been replaced TWICE, thus far. VERY expensive part, but covered by warranty, though I had to pay installation. In the past week, the furnace fan went out so, no heat in the winter! No fan in stock, either so the HVAC contractor had to order it! Hopefully, it will be in in a day or so! This is unacceptable. SO I would NEVER buy another Trane. Sounds like their quality control went out the door. I am 85, so I hope this thing will outlast me, because I can't afford another one. I bought Trane because it was supposed to be so great...

On 5/20/2022 I purchased a 3 Ton Trane Condenser M/n# 4TWR7036B1000D. This system failed on 2/18/2025 when the compressor and a sensor went bad. The cost for this repair was $1,840.25. Then on 12/01/25 an electronic valve went bad; system was short cycling. The cost for this repair was $270.00. On 12/4/2025, three days later, the technician states the following: Today’s visit the system was short cycling once again. The code being thrown was a major component failure. The system is intermittently failing due to a bad EEV board. Replacement parts are being ordered. System is currently running in emergency heat mode. This system is of poor quality and a LEMON. Currently awaiting a response from Trane.

My evaporator also failed just over 5 years after installation but still, given my Lennox last about 25 years and Trane claims quality product, I would have expected unit lasting over 10 years. Cost approx $1200 to replace even with warrantied part due to labor and refrigerant cost.

We have a XL15C. When it go to gas it quits. And we have no heat. This will be the 4 home call this year to fix it. Same thing last year. They get it running and the next cold spell it quits. Not a happy camper here.

The air conditioner is fine, but their thermostats are terrible. We are on our third one and connecting them to the app on your phone so you can adjust it from anywhere in the house is like an act of God.

I have 2 Trane heat pumps purchased about 6 years ago to replace 2 Trane unit that failed after about 12 years of use. The new units have been nothing but trouble especially the larger unit. After about a year the evap coil had a leak that required replacement. Now the other unit evap coil needs to be replaced. The coils are covered by warranty but labor and materials are not. The current repair will cost $3000. Altogether we have spent over $7000 on repairs. That exclude regular maint. Not happy or satisfied with Trane.

I bought my AC/Heater unit in 2021. The transducer has failed twice in a year, causing significant labor service charges. The technicians from my local Trane dealer said these transducers fail frequently in their service area. I'm up to ~$1000 in labor charges fixing what the technicians claim is a poorly designed system. They indicate Trane has moved away from that system design with their newer systems.

I had system installed in October. TERRIBLE system. It is noisy, the thermostat doesn't work. It is not possible to automatically raise or lower the temperature in the house unless I change the thermostat manually. My 26 year old Carrier was so much better than this system.

Trane your customer relations department needs to go back to kindergarten. The “final customer facing supervisor” cannot provide any insight into the length of time it may take to get a resolution on continued issues with my unit that is less than 3.5 years old and has run me over $3k in repairs FOR ITEMS UNDER WARRANTY! Lemon? Sure seems so. So what you’re telling me is I should sit without heat or dump more money in over and over? When does it end?

Unit less than 4 years old and have already put in over $4,000 in repairs and that's with 10 year warranty. Leaked evaporator coil after 3+ years, total piece of junk. Shame on you Trane. Absolutely zero help on why this happened or ownership of the issue with faulty AC units.

Here we go again 2nd coil in 2 years and compressor in 4 years a double whammy. 6 days without AC in South Florida. No idea when it will be up and running. Stayed in a hotel for 3 days and was forced to purchase a room ac so we can be at home. House is averaging 85 degrees. Reached out to Trane for support, crickets.

I have two Trane commercial chillers for my plant in Middlefield Ohio. We have had continuous failures of both chillers since install. The fans continue to fail and we discovered these fans are on recall from factory. Trane will not replace them all at once. The fans have a long lead time and are not in stock. Trane will only replace them when they fail and then charges labor to replace them. Each time they come to replace them, more fans have failed. This is just an ongoing cycle that has resulted in over 50 thousand dollars in labor charges just since June 2025, it is now October 2025. Looking for another solution - not Trane.

I purchased a brand-new Trane system through a Trane Comfort Specialist. In just three months, it has required seven service visits totaling 14 hours, yet it still isn’t operating correctly. The unit leaks, shows rust, and even has mold—problems I wouldn’t expect from a new system. I’ve contacted Trane twice through their Consumer Group with no resolution, and I also reached out to their Product Management team, explaining the issues in detail. Still, nothing has improved.

I bought a unit that failed 6 months after installation. Spend more money trying to repair it and they just wash their hands blaming the installation. Keep failing, please don’t buy that brand, they do not care about the customer.

17000 for a new complete ac system less than a year and half old. Service every 6 months, boom, needs new outside unit coil, 2,000 to repair. Parts only covered. Really same class action lawsuit, didn't teach you a lesson yet. System is junk. Knew I should have went with Rudd, last system had zero issues for 8 years. Had to replace with bigger due to addition. Never again

I live in SW Florida. I replaced old A/C (Trane) which lasted 10 years in 2020, because the blower motor busted. New Trane system worked for almost 2.5 years and... blower motor went bad. It took more than 2 weeks for Pure Air to replace the motor for the working one, because 2 replacement motors worked less than one day. After replacement, some refrigerant was added for crazy price.

My unit is only two years old. It shut down and we called the company who put it in. (They do a diagnostic check every 3-6 months). The compressor is slowly shutting down. It is covered under warranty, but the service to repair is not. I called Trane, they offered $480 of the $2000 bill, and then tried to blame on environment and installation. They took over two months to respond and honestly don’t seem to care that a new unit is not working. I would give a 0 star if it was an option. Would not recommend this company to anyone!

ProSkills has gone out of their way to make everything right and upgrade our thermostats no charge and to make sure everything is working satisfactory.

Called customer service to ask if I could put a "soft start" on my Trane XR air conditioner. The person I spoke with said she could not find an answer so I ask to speak with a technician and she said that was not an option. Ask to speak to a supervisor and after over 10 minutes on hold she said no one was available. Told me to contact a local contractor. Trane should be able to tell me if I can have this installed without doing any damage or voiding the warranty before I spend the money to have it done and something goes wrong and then the response will be NOT RESPONSIBLE.

The unit was very expensive but they all are this year 2025 due to new refrigerant and regulations for the new green deal.!!! Repairman here today, very nice and knowledgeable. Replaced the capacitor and has to order and change out the condenser fan motor. I’m not happy. Should work for the cost.

If zero stars were possible that is what I rate Trane. Package unit installed in Fall 2021 and it’s been nothing but problems since. Frozen coils multiple times, blower motor replaced, multiple leaks, TXV replaced multiple times. Mind you this unit is under a paid, twice yearly maintenance program too. In May, the coils froze over again and I was told there was leak but the parts needed would take a minimum of three weeks to be manufactured. Contacted Trane customer service and they were insanely slow to respond. After waiting weeks without AC in Florida heat, I bit the bullet and just bought new unit (different brand) and now Trane says they can’t compensate at all. Safe yourself time and money by selecting a different brand.

I paid $21,000 to have a Trane unit installed 2 years ago, after the first season I started to have issues losing Freon. The compressor had a bad weld and leaked. After adding Freon a couple of times, the Trane recommended installer finally found the problem. It leaked from the factory. Trane cover the parts but not the install so it costed $5500 for the labor. After 10 calls and 20 emails, Trane cut me a check for $800, didn’t even pay for all of the Freon I had to add. I wish I would’ve just ripped it out, took the loss and replaced it with another brand.

We bought a Trane because we were told: they never break, they are made in America so it’s easy to get the parts to fix when they do. Our unit is now 3 years old. For the first two years it broke once a year. They always have to order the parts so we get to enjoy no air conditioning in 100 degree weather for 7 days! Currently it has broken 4 times this month! It is an unbelievable disaster.

My unit is 3 years old. Brazing on the pipes failed just 2 weeks out of warranty. Trane refused to repair. Shoddy work at best in this opinion. I've had the repair guy out at least 3 times. And coming to this site now because my unit is failing yet again. Very sorry to have bought a Trane. They are correct to say nothing runs like a Trane because I hear others really work.

Replaced a 12-year-old Heil central unit with a Trane XL15c, which was a mistake. The old unit was rusting itself to death, but still cooled better than the new unit. The Trane dehumidifies so much our eyes are dried shut in the morning. The air coming out of the vents very slow. The air is cool but not cold. The so-called high efficiency runs 24/7 and our electric bill has never been higher. Worst AC unit I’ve ever had.

As an active duty military member, I’ve dealt with many major appliances and home systems over the years. I’ve never experienced anything as frustrating, disappointing, or exploitative as my experience with Trane. My home came with a Trane HVAC system that catastrophically failed just six years after installation, well short of the “15-20 year” life expectancy Trane claims. I later discovered it could have had a 10-year warranty, but only if the original homeowner registered it within 60 days. I had no way of knowing this as a buyer, nor was I ever informed I was inheriting a system already out of coverage due to a paperwork technicality.

Do not buy at all costs!!! Bought an $8000 heat pump, first united wouldn't run due to cuts in the line from factory. Received 2nd brand new unit, condenser went out after 2 weeks. Contacted warranty dept 7/9/25 and still sitting in an 83° house in Oklahoma with temps at 101°. Customer service not helpful at all. Two brand new units and both are bad. Buyer beware!
