Ouch is right, Warren. My brother-in-law works in heating and cooling in CA and they no longer carry Trane. Problems with corrosion and then they crap out. Of course this doesn't happen for a while. New systems made with different metals are available so less likely to have some problems. Not sure what materials Trane is using at this point.

When Mike's Mom's air died, her Trane system was 7 years old. Repairs were expensive and did not carry a long guarantee period. A new system seemed to be the better way to go.

Maybe the difficulty in getting necessary parts are because those parts aren't made at this point? I hope thing progress very quickly. Hopefully some of your neighbors will offer their guest room so you can at least get a comfortable night's sleep.
