Copeland Scroll vs. Trane compressor warranty
Hello everyone...
I'm new to this forum but definitely impressed with the knowledge sharing. Perhaps you can help me with my question.
My outdoor compressor unit recently died. The technician who installed the new one works for a Trane dealer and I was happy to see that Trane has (according to their website) a 10 year warranty on such a unit. Sounded like a win to me.
Only one issue in the installation: what was installed was a Copeland Scroll unit which, after some digging around, offers a significantly inferior warranty to Trane.
By the way: the Copeland Scroll was installed because I needed an R-22 unit to match the rest of my system and they apparently had nothing available by Trane. When the tech made the installation, I was not around to talk with him and get the lowdown on the differences between the two units.
So....given your experiences, is there a reason to be concerned about reliability of the Copeland Scroll?

Installed the compressor and new blower. The remaining parts of the unit inside the house were untouched. Originally Posted by Mr Bill

Copeland makes a compressor for Trane it's a rotolock compressor, my guess would be if they come in a Trane, there Trane approved, so it should be fine. Originally Posted by CapnSlow

Any experiences with reliability in the field? I mean, the Copeland Scroll warranty is significantly shorter than the Trane.
And geez...i keep saying compressor when I should be saying condenser. I hope that doesn't screw up anyone's response.

I dug around on the Copeland Scroll website and found the warranty info. It wasn't easy, their website is not the easiest to navigate. Originally Posted by Mr Bill
