Made in the same factory, but with different parts. American Standard is known to have rusting problems with some of the internal parts...especially the heat exchange.

Maybe at one time but since 2008 they are essentially the same ac. The same company acquired both brands.

To elaborate, not only are both brands manufactured in the same facility (the largest of the facilities located in Tyler, Texas), they go down the same assembly lines, are put together by the same people, on the same conveyer belts, by the same machines…right next to each other, I’ve seen it with my own eyes multiple times.

So what is the difference? It’s a quick read because there are only two:

The paint color – although they go through the same paint booths and process.

The nameplate or sticker – Trane gets an orange nameplate and American Standard gets a blue nameplate.
