“I just got a quote for a compressor replacement on my trane system, see my other post for the issue, and it comes out to $2800. I was quoted $2,000 over the phone but apparently that guy has no clue what he's talking about (same company). I just wanted to see if it was a reasonable amount and if it looked correct in terms of parts and service. Thank you! submitted by /u/BraveHeart256 [link] [comments]”

“So my 20yr old Trane 19 SEER system has finally sprung a leak. With the age and cost of R22, I have been getting quotes for new systems and one company is trying to sell me on a 16 SEER system with ATDs eliminator subcooler model.
