Amanas are made by the same company that makes goodman so you are comparing low end to low end brands here.
Ameristar vs trane furnace.
In my opinion trane is way over priced.
Installed february 2019 in central new york state.
Replaced a 32 year old furnace.
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 air conditioner will be replaced in the spring.
The only exception to that statement is the condensing unit top that comes on a few of the high efficiency condenser models.
I ve heard that westinghouse furnace and heat pumps are good quality and cheaper.
For one the compressors are different.
The 80 single stage model is very loud especially in the startup phase.
Not sure if we should spend the extra money on trane.
As such both trane and american standard offer line of nearly identical hvac products.
Additionally the ameristar outdoor units have a metal bottom vs the composite bottom of the trane units.
American standard and trane are exactly the same.
On the lower end of the price range good we are talking about entry level efficiency and features.
Let s compare furnace brands trane versus westinghouse.
I would like to get a homeowners or hvac contractors opinion on this.
There are quite a few differences between the trane and ameristar ac units.
Now that you know i m definitely qualified to answer the question of american standard vs trane you ve been searching for.
While the installation contractor was professional efficient and personable i regret buying this furnace.
It won t be an ameristar.
The compressor is essentially the heart of the ac unit so there if quality and longevity is a concern trane has the edge there.
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.
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.
