Trane Parts and Warranty Work in Florida
Liberty Air and Electric is an authorized Trane dealer and repairs Trane air conditioners across Greater Orlando and South Florida. We also repair American Standard air conditioners, which are made by the same company as Trane and share most of their parts. Residential American Standard parts come through a different distributor, though, so the Trane warranty process doesn't carry over. On warranty, American Standard is about average.
Standard residential Trane parts get swapped right at the parts counter, and they're rarely out of stock. Commercial Trane parts get ordered, same as commercial parts for any brand, and Trane gives accurate lead times on commercial warranty parts.
For a part under warranty, we confirm the warranty online, check the part's availability, call the local branch to confirm, go to the branch, and swap the part at the counter. The easier that is for us, the sooner your repair gets done. And because Trane warranty work is predictable, we have more room on the price of the repair. We buy Trane equipment and parts direct from the distributor.
An error code on the Trane thermostat
On a variable-speed Trane, a fault usually shows up as an error code on the thermostat. That code is where we start the diagnostic.
The outdoor coil is packed with debris
A Trane outdoor coil collects debris and can need cleaning more often than other outdoor coils. When it's packed, the unit can't get rid of heat, and the system can shut down on high pressure.
A board was replaced and the problem came back
On variable-speed Tranes, control boards get replaced for faults that aren't in the board. A lot of techs aren't familiar with the electronic expansion valve on these systems.
A Trane past 20 years old needs a repair
On a Trane that old, a repair of more than about $500 usually isn't worth it.

Trane Units Hold Up in Florida
Liberty Air and Electric sees Trane units last longer than most of the equipment it services. That's mostly an eye test. When we find a unit that's 25 years old and still looks good, it's most often a Trane.
Trane's outdoor coils hold up well in Florida weather. The coil is an all-aluminum design Trane calls Spine Fin. As a Trane gets older, the repairs are usually sensors, motors, compressors, airflow, or controls.
The Outdoor Coil Needs Cleaning More Often
The fine aluminum spines on a Spine Fin coil collect debris, so a Trane outdoor coil can need cleaning more often than other outdoor coils. You can see it yourself as debris packed into the outside of the outdoor unit.
Once it's packed in, the unit can't get rid of heat and the system can shut down on high pressure. That debris comes out with professional AC coil cleaning. That's a maintenance item.
High-End Trane Systems and What Gets Misdiagnosed
Liberty Air and Electric checks the electronic expansion valve (EEV) on Trane's variable-speed systems before any board gets replaced. Trane's high-end systems don't fail any more often than other high-end systems. A lot of techs aren't familiar with the EEV, and control boards on these systems get replaced for faults that aren't in the board. When something does fail on a variable-speed Trane, it usually shows up as an error code on the thermostat.
Storms and power surges cause problems on high-end systems that we don't see as often on basic units. That's why a surge protector on the condenser matters more on a variable-speed Trane. A Trane that's dead right after a thunderstorm is an AC that won't turn on for the same reason as any other brand. It's almost always a surge.
Error code on your Trane thermostat?
Book a diagnostic. We read the code, find the fault, and quote the repair before any work starts.
What Was a Problem, and What We Don't See
Trane units built in 2013 and 2014 had a TXV problem. That's the valve that meters refrigerant into the indoor coil, and a residue from the factory was clogging it. Trane fixed it fast, and we don't see it on current equipment.
We don't see outdoor coil leaks on Trane units, and we don't get callbacks on Trane's communicating thermostats. Condenser fan motor failures aren't a Trane pattern either.
Repair or Replace an Older Trane
Liberty Air and Electric tells you when a repair on an older Trane isn't worth the money. Old here means around 20 years. On a unit that age, a repair of more than about $500 usually isn't worth it. Plenty of Tranes reach that age still running.
We use the same repair-or-replace logic on a Trane as on any other brand, and if it's not worth repairing, you get a quote for AC replacement. An AC repair diagnostic runs $49 to $149 in Florida, depending on the season and the day of the week, and that fee is waived with an approved repair.
