Jerry,

Yes, there were a spate of coil problems on Trane A/Cs....I first read about it on the Virginia Trace website a year and a half ago. $399 for labor seems pretty steep...maybe you should call the Villages Warranty Dept and get a better explanation of what was covered and for how long, especially given that this was a common problem.

By the way, we signed up with Munns for the extended Trane manufacturers warranty (I don't usually buy these, but, A/C in Florida....seems like something could easily break over time). I bought the warranty within the first year and it was (then) about $600 for 10 years total....parts and labor. For you newbies, something to look into. Cost is higher if you buy coverage after the first year.
