There are two coils, an outdoor coil (condenser coil) and an indoor coil (evaporator coil). If a coil leaks, it is usually at a welded connection point, due to corrosion. Personally, I think both Trane and Carrier units are equally reliable. In The Villages, I would opt for Carrier because they are the more commonly installed brand.
