Trane compressors are crap. Copeland scroll compressors are where it's at.

Installers are here now putting in my split trane heat pump xl15i, The market here is very competitive on pricing, but I did get a good deal under the circumstances of location. 

Thanks again for your input on it though.   :aok

My furnace blows, My A/C gives me the cold shoulder, and my built-in vacuum system sucks. My question is, should I reconsider annulling my marriage?

Ask any HVAC Tech (that's the person in the van who actually works for a living) and they will tell you themselves. Trane compressors don't last as long as copeland scrolls do. And when you live in a place like Texas you cannot afford to have a compressor go out in the middle of a Texas summer. If you pay money out of your own pocket for a Trane product, then you love throwin money away.IMHO

my personal opinion after 30 +/- years in the HVAC-R field is it is not really the name of the product ( Trane, American Standard, Westinghouse, G.E., York, Amana, Carrier, Rudd, Rheem, Payne, Nordyne, etc...) but the quality of the installation by the person or crew initially installing the system, and then the FIRST initial start-up of said system.... ie.. making sure the new system is properly brought on-line

as for Trane Compressors...... well Trane is a major distributor of Copeland compressors both reciprocating & Scroll and also re-manufactures copeland reciprocating compressors along with re-manufacturing other Top Brand Company's reciprocating compressors like Emrson, Carrier, etc...... the semi-hermetic types...... and they re-manufacture them to Trane's "Higher Standards"  


ever heard of the compressor named "SnowBall" which was a "Trane Climatuff Hermetic Reciprocating Compressor"....... it is legendary........ and the reason they came out with the ad slogan "You can't Stop a Trane" was because of a Tree that fell on a Trane Condenser and smashed the unit all out of shape, big ol tree laying on it.. the tech got there and the unit was still running , compressor, condenser fan, everything without any problems or leaks....... "Wow, You can't stop a Trane!"  ;)

also, The other Manufacturer's could not wait and avidly anticipated the day the patent on the "Trane ClimaTuff Compressor" became "unlocked" per say, so that all the other Manufacturer's could start using a similar design....... as for Scroll type / Screw type compressors. Trane has them as well like everyone else, except most other Brands are using a 3rd party compressor part like Copeland, Bristol, Tecumseh, Danfoss etc.....


so to each their own opinion........ but it really comes down to the quality and the abilities of the Person/Crew installing the product.... how good is his/their craftsmanship???

HaHA.. Here we go.. I agree Copelands are great... Trane is great equipment period.. And I would trade places with my techs anyday.

TequilaChaser knows what he is talking about. Amana uses copelands, and I would take A Trane system over Amana any day of the week.

What a monster this thing is. These guys have completed the install and were nothing short of professional and courteous, very clean install.  I really didn't realize it would take them from 0830-1730.  Runs very quiet, I can hear my neighbors new goodman running over my trane.  Lets see who breaks down first.  :lol

Heres one.

American Standard (Trane) comfort 80 single stage

High limit trips a lot. Currently blower speed for AC is on highest and heat on second highest jumper. House is 1300 SqF. Where can I find a data plate to see if the furnace and/or blower fan could be too small. Airflow out of vents is a lot less then what I have seen before in other houses.

Glad to hear everything went well Dadsguns.

Do you have the model number on your furnace Meatwad? Do you know if any of the parts have been replaced since install?
Title: Re: I have the HVAC Hook Up!

Yeah it's all day ordeal. Sometime my crews take two days..  :salute
Title: Re: I have the HVAC Hook Up!
Post by: Meatwad on February 09, 2011, 09:49:54 PM
No model number to speak of due to a data tag that is nowhere to be found. There is no paperwork or invoices on the furnace at all to show of any work done to it since the previous owners of the house did not keep any paperwork
Title: Re: I have the HVAC Hook Up!
Post by: RichardDickBong on February 09, 2011, 11:42:11 PM
There might be a panel on the furnace that you can remove by taking out a screw or two. You will more than likely find the model number inside this panel. If you can get the model numbers from the coil and or outside unit also.

Data Plate will be on the left inside of the top compartment / gas burner chamber ( if unit is horizontal, imagine it standing vertical )

High Limit tripping out could be a number of issues causing it:

-bad Limit switch or intermitent switch problem

-Dirty / clogged up Evaporator Coil

- Duct Liner inside the duct work as come loose on the Supply or maybe even Return Air Plenums and is killing the airflow

- Dirty Blower Wheel / Squirrel Cage

- Dirty / clogged Filter

- Fan Motor going bad / not working to full capacity

- might try switching the AC Fan setting to Med-High and putting the Heat Fan setting to High ( switch the jumpers or wire connectors..... )



or does this have a variable speed motor??? are the dip-switches set incorrectly??  need that Model No. and Year manf. and Serial No.

just a few things that could be causing it to trip on High Limit.......

also, someone could have installed the wrong orfices ( gas nozzles ). is it natural gas or propane gas?  if Propane then it should have a LP Nozzle Kit specifically installed for Propane......

edit: also an Undersized Return and/or Supply will have a choking effect on the airflow...... the Duct Work could be improperly sized. this in return will not allow the Gas Furnace Blower to move enough air across the heat exchanger, causing the High limit to trip, because of Air Flow being restrictive....

hope this helps

Natural gas.

Checked and limit switch was bad, new one ordered

Post by: FireDrgn on February 10, 2011, 09:58:25 PM
How did u check the limit switch.?   Typically that is the symptom. Not the cause.  Especially since you said you have low air flow from the vents.    I would check the evaporator coil to be sure it's not partially plugged. (if u have one). If not check for motor speed or dirty filter.

Limit switch rated at 145, kicks out at 135

About the furnace.....Come to find out the previous owners had it installed and its too small for the size of house we have. A-coil clean and blower fan unobstructed
