I am dealing with a warranty repair handled by Sun Kool. The unit is a Trane just over a year old. To troubleshoot the problem the cost was $430. Sun Kool determined the evaporator coil had a leak. Now the part is free BUT it will cost me another $360 to install the evaporator coil.

I need to check out the charges by Sun Kool. Has anyone have warranty issues such as mine??

Does anybody have a reasonable Air Conditioning Company they deal with in TV??

Munn's

Tried Munn's twice. Too expensive!

I strongly recommend Chuck Farrell of Lady Lake for all heating and AC service. His is a small company, and Chuck's knowledge and experience solved two unusual problems I've had when there were renters in my home. He came within hours of my calls and his prices are very fair.

One of my life goals is to have a handful of best friends. I use that approach with my short list of experts who provide the best service at the best price. Chuck Farrell is my AC/heat guy.

My A/C in Norcal went out in a hot spell in July, believe it was the coil. Cost $140 for labor and material to trouble shoot, order material and come back next day to fix (in the expensive Bay Area).

Air Conditioning Repair Info
 
Thanks for all your replys! Here are some of my findings after calling the following companys to diagnose and install a Trane evaporator coil that is located inside the air handler. Part covered by warranty.

Munns (@$850 vs $788) would have been more expensive than Sun Kool.

M & S would have been $550 for the same repair. They claimed it was a flat fee charge. The thing I don't know if they offer the fee after they troubleshoot it.

I really need to talk to Chuck Farrell on the repair. He seems to get a lot of good feedback.

The last thought is to buy a warranty on the unit. Price seems to be @ $800 to $1100 on 10yr parts & Labor. $450 for a 5 yr parts and labor. The thing to remember the warranty starts from installation time. If I knew the hugh charges for labor here (compared to home) I would have gotten the warranty.

Do a search on TOTV. Enter the word "coil" or "Trane" and look at the several posts about Trane A/C evaporator coils failing very early in their life. I'm convinced Trane made these units with sub-standard parts. It cost Trane very little to give a replacement coil to the installer compared to what it cost use for the labor. Shouldn't Trane be made to halp pay the labor cost since it was their choice to use an inferior part?
It seems there are two kinds of Trane units....those that have failed and those that will fail. Also, I've heard of people who had the evaporator coil replaced only to have the new coil fail in a year. What about everyone going to this webpage and making them aware of this ongoing problem?

I went to Consumer Protection area for WWW.floridaclassaction.Com and sent my info. It cost nothing.
