This page is for Fort Lauderdale homeowners with a Trane furnace that won’t start, won’t stay lit, or won’t stop making a sound it shouldn’t. You’ll find what actually goes wrong on these units, what it costs to fix, and why we handle Trane work differently than a brand-agnostic shop that sees one a month.
How Trane Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
Trane builds a solid furnace. The trade knows it. But every brand has patterns, and after years of working on Trane units across Fort Lauderdale, we’ve learned exactly where they wear and what the symptoms look like. Here’s what we see most:
- Hot surface igniter failure on XR80 and XR90 models. These igniters glow to light the gas, and they crack with age. The classic symptom is the furnace cycling on, the blower running, but no heat coming out because the igniter never reached temperature. We keep OEM Trane igniters and quality aftermarket replacements on the truck. Most igniter swaps run $150 to $280, parts and labor included.
- Pressure switch trips on XV80 and XV95 two-stage units. These switches confirm the inducer fan is pulling combustion air properly. In Fort Lauderdale, we see them fail more often because of salt air corrosion on the rubber diaphragm inside the switch. The furnace will start, run for a minute, then shut down with a blinking red light. We test the switch under vacuum rather than guessing, replace it if it’s weak, and move on. Not a big job, but it has to be diagnosed correctly or you’ll replace the wrong part.
- Flame sensor dropping the signal on XC95m modulating furnaces. The flame sensor sits in the burner and confirms flame is present. Over time it builds a thin silicone oxide coating that insulates it. The furnace lights, then shuts down after three to five seconds because it thinks the flame went out. This one’s an easy fix, sometimes just a cleaning, and we’ll always quote the sensor replacement before doing it. Usually $120 to $180.
- Inducer motor bearing wear on XR95 and XV95 units. The inducer motor pulls exhaust gases out of the heat exchanger before the burners fire. When the bearings go, you’ll hear a whine or grinding noise for the first minute or two of every cycle. Left alone, the motor seizes and the furnace won’t run at all. We replace with OEM Trane inducer assemblies when warranty or age argues for it, and quality aftermarket when the unit is older and the homeowner wants to keep cost down. Expect $300 to $550 for this repair.
- Control board failures on communicating Trane systems (XV18, XC95m). These furnaces use a communicating control board that talks to the thermostat and the outdoor unit. When that board goes, the system throws fault codes that don’t always point where they should. We read the codes, verify with a meter, and confirm the board before quoting a replacement. These boards are the most expensive common repair, typically $450 to $700, and we’ll always tell you if an aftermarket board is a safe choice for your specific model.

Our Trane Furnace Repair Process
Here’s exactly what happens when you call us for Trane furnace repair in Fort Lauderdale:
- 1
You call (754) 354-7289 and a live person answers. Not a phone tree. Not a callback request. You describe what the furnace is doing, and we schedule a window that same day in most cases.
- 2
We show up in the window we gave you. Our technician arrives in a marked truck, wearing a uniform, with a background check already done. You know who’s walking into your home.
- 3
We diagnose and write the price down. Before any tool comes out of the bag, we test the unit, find the failure, and hand you a written price. That number doesn’t change at the door. It’s the same price whether we’re done in 45 minutes or three hours.
- 4
We talk through the parts decision with you. On a Trane unit under warranty, we handle the warranty paperwork and get OEM parts. On older units, we’ll tell you honestly when a quality aftermarket part makes more sense for your budget, and what the trade-off is in lifespan.
- 5
We make the repair and test the full sequence. We don’t just replace a part and leave. We run the furnace through multiple heating cycles, check the temperature rise across the heat exchanger, verify the flame signal, and confirm the safety switches are all doing their job.
- 6
We hand you the written 365-Day Done Right Promise. Your repair is guaranteed in writing for a full year. If it fails inside that window, we come back and fix it at no charge. No argument, no fine print.
We leave the furnace area cleaner than we found it. Victor insists on that.

Call (754) 354-7289 for a free estimate on your Trane furnace repair.
Safety note: Gas furnaces have real hazards. Gas lines, burners, and heat exchangers that crack can put carbon monoxide into your home. If you smell gas or suspect a cracked heat exchanger, turn the unit off, ventilate the space, and call a trained professional. This is not a do-it-yourself repair, and anyone who tells you otherwise is giving you bad advice.
Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Call Cold Harbour Heating and Air Fort Lauderdale for Trane Work
Most of our Trane repair calls in Fort Lauderdale come from homeowners who’ve been burned before. A no-show. A price that jumped between the quote and the invoice. A repair that quit three weeks later and nobody would stand behind. We built Cold Harbour Heating and Air to be the answer to that.
Every Trane repair we do carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If our repair fails within a year, we come back and fix it for free. That’s not a courtesy call. It’s on paper before we leave.
Our technicians are trained on nine major brands, including Trane, Carrier, and Lennox. That matters when you have a Trane furnace paired with a different brand’s air handler or thermostat. It also means we’re not guessing on a unit we see twice a year. We see Trane units every week, from older XR80s to newer XC95m modulating systems.
And the phone gets answered. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by a human being. When your furnace quits at 10 p.m. on a January night that’s cold by Florida standards, someone picks up.
A cold harbour, the name’s origin, is a shelter where travelers wait out rough weather. Comfort in any season is the whole job.
FAQs
Many Trane furnaces carry a 20-year or lifetime heat exchanger warranty and a 5 to 10 year parts warranty, depending on the model and whether it was registered within 60 days of installation. We handle the warranty process for you, verifying coverage directly with Trane and getting OEM parts when the warranty applies. Even when warranty covers the part, labor is typically your cost, and we’ll tell you that upfront before we start.
Most Trane furnace repairs in Fort Lauderdale are completed the same day we diagnose them. We keep common Trane parts on the truck, including igniters, flame sensors, pressure switches, and gas valves. For less common parts or warranty OEM orders, we’ll give you an honest timeline and a written price before any work begins. Call (754) 354-7289 and we’ll get you on the schedule.
If the repair is under $500 and your Trane furnace is under 12 years old, repair usually makes sense. If you’re looking at a cracked heat exchanger, a failed control board on a 15-plus-year-old unit, or repair costs climbing above half the price of a new system, replacement may be the smarter money. We’ll give you both numbers in writing and let you decide. No pressure from us.
