I have a 3500 sf 3 level house with 3 trane units in Raleigh NC.
The second floor unit failed it's routine checkup today. The service tech said the freon was low and there is a leak at the metering device. He said that the metering device needs to be replaced with the coils and that i should replace the whole system, rather than spend a thousand $ on this one.

Trane xf 80 gas furnace and a/c unit model TXH033a4hpa 1; 9 years old.

I am the second owner and this is the a/c units first inspection in 5 years. I signed a service contract this winter.
Thanks

Tough call. Putting a grand in a 9 year old unit isn't the best option. If you can afford it, I would suggest replacing the system.

I would definitely pay for a second opinion.
