Hello,

I have a almost 3 year old Trane XV80 and XL14i Unit.
The In Door TXV or the Thermostatic control valve needs
replacing.
Can someone please advise how much the labor costs would
be to remove and replace these parts including freon purge ect.

Thanks in advance

There is no way for us to estimate labor costs since they vary widely from area to area. Few jobs are exactly the same so it is even tough to estimate how long it would take but on an "average" job of this type, probably 2-3 hours should cover the labor. Refrigerant cost should be minimal unless you have lost the charge in the system.

Really hard to say, you may have to ask your dealer.

Is the parts under warranty?
