This Trane Makes a Stop Every Summer (buy the extended warrenty)

I moved to Denver from Atlanta in 2008. Promptly in April of 2008 we purchased a Trane central air conditioner including humidification, Clean Effects Ionizer, Heat Pump, fancy thermostat and Installation for a price of 10,000.

We already invested in the furnace. All aspects of the installation was handled by a Trane approved company. In this case AireServ. Here are the results:

1) Ran from April 2008 to June 2010.
2) Replaced (2) Compressors in June of 2010 and was without air cooling for two weeks.
3) Replaced fancy thermostat $240
3) June 2011 - All freon leaked out from the Trane / AireServ copper pipe. And you guessed it, Not covered.... another 1,000 to fix.

Just because a company can afford the $$$ in marketing, it may not be the best decision. My Amana in Atlanta never had this costs or maintenance.

I can not recommend in this economy that a family consider spending the outlay of cash that we foolishly did thinking we were buying quality.
