All older coils were made with copper. All manufacturers were buying copper from China. Chinese copper leaks because it wasn't smelted properly. All Tranes coils (inside and outside) are now made with aluminum. It's not a difficult call if you know all the facts. There is no future with R-22.

Tell me about it. I had to replace two. OTOH, I have a neighbor with the same coil, and it hasn't leaked in 10 years.

All the manufacturers moved to all-aluminum coils a few years ago, not just Trane. As for staying with R22, I didn't suggest that.

I went with American Standard which owns Trane. Mine is all aluminum too.
