American standard and trane are exactly the same.
Ameristar vs trane furnace.
As such both trane and american standard offer line of nearly identical hvac products.
I would like to get a homeowners or hvac contractors opinion on this.
Trane entry level air conditioners heating systems good most air conditioning contractors offer a good better best scenario when proposing a new ac and heating system.
The only exception to that statement is the condensing unit top that comes on a few of the high efficiency condenser models.
The air conditioner will be replaced in the spring.
There are quite a few differences between the trane and ameristar ac units.
Trane and american standard are the same air conditioning company.
I ve heard that westinghouse furnace and heat pumps are good quality and cheaper.
Edit answer for another 11 minute ameristar is made by the same company that makes trane and american standard but is their low end brand to compete with the cheaper box store furnaces like goodman and according to a number of web articles has a lot of chinese components in it.
For one the compressors are different.
Additionally the ameristar outdoor units have a metal bottom vs the composite bottom of the trane units.
Amanas are made by the same company that makes goodman so you are comparing low end to low end brands here.
The compressor is essentially the heart of the ac unit so there if quality and longevity is a concern trane has the edge there.
Installed february 2019 in central new york state.
Not sure if we should spend the extra money on trane.
Let s compare furnace brands trane versus westinghouse.
On the lower end of the price range good we are talking about entry level efficiency and features.
The truth is in this range there really isn t a whole lot of.
In my opinion trane is way over priced.
American standard acquired the trane heating and air conditioning company back in 1984 and has since broken up its various divisions in 2007 but kept the trane air conditioner name.
Replaced a 32 year old furnace.
The 80 single stage model is very loud especially in the startup phase.
While the installation contractor was professional efficient and personable i regret buying this furnace.
