American Standard Heating and Air Conditioning Overview

For generations, families have trusted American Standard to make products that deliver quality, performance and comfort.

American Standard's heritage in heating and cooling began in 1881, when the founders of a company that would grow to become American Standard established a plant in Buffalo, New York. Back then, the company made boilers and radiators.

Today, we build state-of-the art products that are consistently rated among the best available by leading consumer-testing magazines.

For example, in May 2001, American Standard was rated the most trouble-free HVAC (heating, ventilating, air conditioning) brand among fourteen leading manufacturers by readers of a national product testing publication.

In a survey, published in November 2002, of approximately 500 furnace installers and over 35,000 consumers, American Standard was one of only two brands named as being more reliable than average by a leading consumer product testing magazine in an article about furnace reliability.

American Standard can achieve ratings like these because we make state-of-the art products including more than 1,000 residential heating and cooling systems. This allows us to perfectly match your home comfort needs.

And American Standard is the only manufacturer to build all our own compressors. This allows us to design the system for maximum performance, quality, efficiency and reliability.

One important measure of performance is energy efficiency, and American Standard makes some of the most energy efficient products in our industry. With Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratings (SEER) that go up to 18.9, our products are pushing the performance envelope.

A modern heating and cooling system from American Standard can provide year-round comfort. Our high efficiency units can also help families save money in utility bills. And since they use less electricity, they help the environment, too.

When you think about home comfort, look for products made by a name you trust: American Standard - we're setting new standards for living.
