Why we install American Standard

Tough, efficient and backed for the long haul

American Standard is the brand we install most in Southern Maryland. It is built and tested to survive salt air, humid summers and the occasional cold snap, and it comes with one of the strongest registered warranties in the business.

Built to last

Heavy-gauge cabinets, all-aluminum outdoor coils and compressors tested well past normal operating limits.

Every speed you need

Single-stage value, multi-speed comfort or fully variable-speed AccuComfort systems that run whisper quiet.

Heat pumps for real winters

Cold-climate models keep heating your home well below freezing, so the backup strips rarely kick on.

A warranty that means it

Up to 12 years on the compressor and 10 on parts when registered, and a lifetime heat exchanger on most furnaces.

The lineup

Five tiers, the same ones on your proposal

Silver through Platinum Plus. Every tier is a quality system; each step up buys more speeds, quieter operation and lower energy bills. Here is which American Standard models sit in each.

Warranty

Registered online within 60 days: 10 years on parts and the outdoor coil for air conditioners and heat pumps, with a 12-year compressor on Gold and Platinum models. Furnaces get 10 years on parts and a lifetime heat exchanger on the 90%+ models.

Not registered: 5 years on parts and the compressor, and 20 years on the furnace heat exchanger.

The manufacturer warranty covers parts, not labor. Ask us about extended labor coverage with a membership.

We register it for you

We register every system with the manufacturer for you right after install, so you get the longer registered warranty without filling out a thing.
