Why we install American Standard
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.
Heavy-gauge cabinets, all-aluminum outdoor coils and compressors tested well past normal operating limits.
Single-stage value, multi-speed comfort or fully variable-speed AccuComfort systems that run whisper quiet.
Cold-climate models keep heating your home well below freezing, so the backup strips rarely kick on.
Up to 12 years on the compressor and 10 on parts when registered, and a lifetime heat exchanger on most furnaces.
The lineup
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.
Single-stage equipment that does the job well and keeps the upfront cost down.
Higher-efficiency single-stage equipment: lower bills for a small step up in price.
Two-stage or multi-speed equipment that runs longer at low speed for steadier temperatures and drier summer air.
Variable-speed or inverter equipment that adjusts in small steps. Quieter, more even, more efficient.
The top of each line: highest efficiency, quietest operation and smart, communicating controls.
