Your central ac units only few years old and a technician had worked on it for 5 difference occasion. Wow.. It should last more then 15 or more years.
After replacing the compressor it still have the same problem. You should have got different tech to look at it.
If you're planning to replace your current central air conditioner unit with new, I suggest you shop for hvac contractor. The brand doesn?t really matter. I?m more concern about the contractor.
A contractor or technician can makes best central ac less efficient or make the worse central unit more efficient. By the way, there is not sure thing is worse or best brand or ac units.
It's the contractor and technician that makes it best and worse. If you have a well experience contractor installing your central air conditioner units. I'm pretty it comes out good.
Make sure you shop for a lot of contractor and let them decide. Each contractor prefers different brand. The best place to start is by asking your neighbors or friends. Tell us how much it costs to install in your area at How much does your central air conditioner cost
Good Luck

Trane Central Ac Unit by: Paul
I have a Trane central ac unit mod # WCCD24F100BG mfg date is 4/2002.
It's freezing up around the compressor and the line coming out of the bottom of the compressor freezes up also. The outside of the central ac unit also freezes. My house stays warm.
The technician worked on the ac unit 5 different times for different problems and he installed a new compressor.
I'm thinking of replacing the central unit and going with a different brand? Any Suggestions?

Contact your local hvac technician by: Anonymous
DO NOT TAKE THIS as professional advice. I CAN'T SEE YOUR UNITS. Please, contact your local hvac technician.
You have to be little more specific. Is it Heat Pump or regular central air conditioner? I'll guess you're talking about regular central ac units.
When you said, the compressor freezes. Does it has ice around the compressor or it also has ice somewhere?
You either have a airflow restriction or refrigerant line restriction, low freon, dirty filter..That all I could think of as of now with the information you provided.. Which parts freeze more..The big copper line (from evaporator to compressor) or the compressor??
