Customer Care® Dealer

What it means to be an American Standard dealer

American Standard sells through independent local dealers, not big-box stores.

The dealers American Standard lists in its own dealer search carry the Customer Care® Dealer designation, which American Standard describes as a commitment to being the best in installation, service, customer satisfaction and employee training. Legacy Heating and Air is on that list for Troy, owned and run by Philip & Nick Alspaugh.

That matters because even the best equipment only performs as well as it is installed. A system that is the wrong size, short on refrigerant or paired with a mismatched coil will never hit the efficiency on its sticker. Our job is to get those details right: the right size for your house, a matched indoor and outdoor system, clean venting and ductwork, and a warranty that is registered.

American Standard is part of Trane Technologies, and its equipment goes through accelerated durability testing at the company's SEET lab in Tyler, Texas, which simulates about five years of operation in 16 weeks. We also install Mitsubishi Electric ductless systems as a Diamond Contractor, so we can match the right equipment to each room, not just each house.

Systems & products we install

The American Standard equipment we install for homeowners across Troy & the greater Miami Valley.

American Standard Air Conditioners

Quiet, high-efficiency central air.

American Standard central air conditioners come in three tiers. Silver units are single-stage, Gold 17 units are multi-speed, and the AccuComfort™ Platinum 18 and Platinum 20 run variable speed, so they cool gently for longer and pull more humidity out of the air on a sticky Ohio afternoon. The Platinum 20 is rated up to 23.6 SEER2.

✓Silver, Gold and Platinum tiers
✓Variable-speed AccuComfort™ Platinum models
✓Spine Fin™ all-aluminum outdoor coil
✓R-454B refrigerant on current models

AC & heat pump installation →

American Standard Heat Pumps

Heating and cooling from one system.

A heat pump cools in summer and heats in winter by moving heat instead of burning fuel. American Standard's Gold 17 heat pump meets ENERGY STAR's cold-climate requirements, and the variable-speed Platinum 20 is rated up to 22.4 SEER2 and 10.5 HSPF2. Many Miami Valley homes pair a heat pump with a gas furnace that takes over on the coldest days.

✓Silver, Gold and Platinum tiers
✓Gold 17 meets ENERGY STAR cold-climate requirements
✓Can pair with a gas furnace (dual fuel)
✓R-454B refrigerant on current models

American Standard Gas Furnaces

Steady, efficient heat for Ohio winters.

American Standard gas furnaces range from the single-stage Silver S9X1 (up to 96% AFUE) to the modulating Platinum 95 (up to 97.3% AFUE). A modulating furnace adjusts its flame in small steps instead of running full blast, which means fewer temperature swings, quieter operation and less gas burned through a long winter.

✓Single-stage, two-stage and modulating models
✓Up to 97.3% AFUE (Platinum 95)
✓Variable-speed blowers on Gold and Platinum
✓Matched to your AC or heat pump coil

American Standard Air Handlers

The indoor half of a heat pump system.

When a home heats with a heat pump instead of a gas furnace, the air handler is the indoor unit that moves the air. American Standard makes them from the Silver 5TEMC up to the variable-speed ForeFront™ Platinum 5TAMX, matched to the outdoor unit so the whole system runs at its rated efficiency.

✓Matched to your heat pump or AC
✓Variable-speed Platinum option
✓Quiet, even airflow
✓Backed by American Standard registered warranty

Air handler installation →

American Standard Packaged Systems

All-in-one comfort for homes tight on space.

When there is no room indoors for a furnace or air handler, a packaged system puts heating and cooling in one outdoor cabinet. American Standard offers gas/electric and heat-pump versions, a good fit for homes on a slab, additions and some manufactured homes.

✓All-in-one outdoor unit
✓Gas/electric and heat-pump models
✓Frees up indoor space
✓One cabinet to service

American Standard Thermostats & Controls

Precise comfort, from home or your phone.

A variable-speed system only reaches its full comfort and efficiency with a control that can talk to it. American Standard's AccuLink™ communicating controls, like the Platinum 850 smart thermostat with its color touchscreen, let the thermostat, furnace and outdoor unit share information, and the American Standard Home app puts the system on your phone.

✓AccuLink™ communicating controls
✓Platinum 850 color touchscreen
✓American Standard Home app
✓Voice-assistant compatible

Silver, Gold or Platinum

How the American Standard series compare

The tiers differ mostly in how the equipment runs: all at once, in stages, or in small steps.

Silver Series

Single-stage

Runs at full speed, then shuts off. Simple, dependable and the lowest upfront cost.

Often a good fit for: Smaller homes, rentals, tighter budgets
Examples: Silver 16 heat pump (17 SEER2), Silver S9X1 furnace (up to 96% AFUE)

Gold Series

Multi-speed / two-stage

Runs on a lower setting most of the day and ramps up only when it is really hot or cold. Quieter, with fewer temperature swings.

Often a good fit for: Most family homes in the Miami Valley
Examples: Gold 17 AC and heat pump (17.1 SEER2), Gold S9V2 furnace (96% AFUE)

Platinum Series

Variable speed (AccuComfort™) / modulating

Adjusts output in small steps to match the house, so it runs long and gentle. The best humidity control and the most even temperatures.

Often a good fit for: Larger homes, uneven rooms, allergy or humidity concerns, lowest bills
Examples: Platinum 20 AC (up to 23.6 SEER2), Platinum 95 furnace (up to 97.3% AFUE)

Ratings are American Standard's published maximums. Actual ratings depend on the exact indoor and outdoor combination installed.

American Standard equipment comes with a Base Limited Warranty, typically 5 years on parts. Register it within 60 days of installation and it becomes a Registered Limited Warranty, up to 10 years on parts, with 12 years on the compressor for some models. Registered warranties can also be transferred to a buyer if you sell your home.

✓Unregistered equipment typically gets a 5-year Base Limited Warranty
✓Some models, like the Platinum 20 AC, carry 12 years on the compressor
✓Limited warranties cover parts, not labor; extended plans can add labor
✓Registered warranties transfer to a new owner ($99, within 90 days of sale)

Questions

American Standard questions from Miami Valley homeowners

What is an American Standard Customer Care® Dealer?

It is the designation American Standard gives the independent dealers it lists on its own "Find a Dealer" search, described as dealers committed to being the best in installation, service, customer satisfaction and employee training. Legacy Heating and Air is listed as a Customer Care Dealer for Troy, OH.

Do I have to register my American Standard warranty?

Yes, and it matters. If the equipment is registered within 60 days of installation, the Registered Limited Warranty covers parts for up to 10 years (12 years on the compressor for some models, like the Platinum 20 AC). If it is not registered in time, coverage typically drops to a 5-year Base Limited Warranty. If you are not sure whether your system was registered, give us a call and we will help you check.

Does the American Standard warranty cover labor?

No. American Standard's limited warranties cover parts, not the labor to replace them. Optional extended warranties that include labor are sold separately, so ask us what is available for your system before you decide.

Does the warranty transfer if I sell my house?

A registered American Standard warranty can be transferred to the new owner for a $99 fee, within 90 days of the home sale. Unregistered warranties do not transfer.

Which American Standard series is right for my home?

It depends on the size and layout of the house, how long you plan to stay, and what bothers you about your current system. Silver keeps the upfront cost down, Gold is the sweet spot for most homes, and Platinum is for people who want the quietest, most even comfort and the lowest bills. We look at your home and give you honest options at each level, not just the most expensive one.

Is a heat pump a good idea in Ohio winters?

Modern heat pumps handle Ohio winters far better than older ones. American Standard's Gold 17 heat pump meets ENERGY STAR's cold-climate requirements, and its newest Platinum 20 Cold Climate Heat Pump is built to heat down to -20°F. Many homes here pair a heat pump with a gas furnace (a dual-fuel system), so the furnace takes over on the coldest nights.

What is R-454B, and does it affect me?

R-454B is the refrigerant in new American Standard air conditioners and heat pumps, replacing R-410A under federal rules that took effect in 2025. It has a much lower global-warming impact. If your current system uses R-410A it can still be repaired, but a new outdoor unit needs a matching indoor coil rated for the new refrigerant.

Is there still a federal tax credit for a new heat pump or furnace?

No. The federal 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit ended for equipment installed after December 31, 2025. We would rather tell you that up front than have you count on a credit that no longer exists.

Do you also service American Standard systems you did not install?

Yes. We repair and maintain American Standard equipment across Troy & the greater Miami Valley, whoever installed it. See our AC repair, furnace repair and tune-up pages for what a visit includes.

Already have American Standard equipment? We handle AC repair, furnace repair and seasonal tune-ups on American Standard systems too.

Estimates on new systems are free. Call or text and we'll walk you through Silver, Gold and Platinum options for your home, with honest pricing at each level.
