There are quite a few differences between the trane and ameristar ac units.
Ameristar vs trane furnace.
The only exception to that statement is the condensing unit top that comes on a few of the high efficiency condenser models.
Replaced a 32 year old furnace.
While the installation contractor was professional efficient and personable i regret buying this furnace.
It won t be an ameristar.
For one the compressors are different.
The 80 single stage model is very loud especially in the startup phase.
The compressor is essentially the heart of the ac unit so there if quality and longevity is a concern trane has the edge there.
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.
I ve heard that westinghouse furnace and heat pumps are good quality and cheaper.
80 furnace models feature aluminized steel heat exchangers to conduct heat quickly and increase durability ameristar furnaces are built for flexibility to suit varied installations 80 furnaces are fully convertible to either natural gas or propane making them suitable for use in any area.
In my opinion trane is way over priced.
Trane and american standard are the same air conditioning company.
Not sure if we should spend the extra money on trane.
The air conditioner will be replaced in the spring.
Installed february 2019 in central new york state.
Amanas are made by the same company that makes goodman so you are comparing low end to low end brands here.
American standard and trane are exactly the same.
Let s compare furnace brands trane versus westinghouse.
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.
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.
Additionally the ameristar outdoor units have a metal bottom vs the composite bottom of the trane units.
I would like to get a homeowners or hvac contractors opinion on this.
