Questions for the Salesman:
- Is multi-staged cooling modulating? How many stages? Please explain?
- Does American Standard offer an extended parts and labor warranty? If you are purchasing a top of line model then I would want this………….notice I said parts and LABOR. These top of the line units have bells and whistles and can be challenging to troubleshoot even for the best technicians.

Cannot Recommend American Standard Air Conditioner
This may have been a premier product at one time, but the new system has been nothing but trouble since the first year it was installed. Leaks, poor fittings, compressor constantly cuts out and needs a service call. In the 3 years I’ve had it, they’ve had to replace virtually everything…fan, coil, etc. When it works, it works great, but if I had not purchased the Extended Warranty for this American Standard AC unit, it would be completely unaffordable to maintain.

After only 14 months, my expensive new American Standard air-conditioner has blown out and so far, all they’re doing is taking photos and deciding what to do because, “This never happens.” Yeah, right.
.
Think carefully before you buy this brand because it doesn’t appear to be quality equipment and customer service isn’t too responsive.

I’m extremely unhappy and no one seems to care at all. It’s very hot and I paid these people good money and a lot of money for this NOT to happen!
I just read a report that American Standard is the most reliable system one can buy. In 5 years I’ve had two problems with my American Standard system. Can’t say that’s a bad thing. My car is the same age and its been in the shop 5 times.
Bought 2- 5 ton units for $17000. After 3 seasons compressor went out of one unit. Compressor was under warranty, but you pay dearly to have installed. Units are not that great for the price.
