Author Are Trane and American Standard HP's identical?

With the exception of Tranes XL19i, it appears American Standard Heritage HP
series is equivalent to Tranes Weathertron series.

Does anyone know if the one series is just a re-badge of the other or are
there an differences in 'build quality'?

Thanks

Bob

Same same. AS is a less expensive Trane.

Any idea why AS doesn't have a version of Tranes XL19i?

same reason A/S doesnt manufacturer their own equipment. Trane makes
it for them. Think of Kenmore. Who makes Kenmore? Not Kenmore.
Why are Trane Climatuff compressors in A/S equipment?

A few days ago I had a svc call on a resi-gaspack sitting on a roof.
Looked like a spitting image of a Goodman, same cabinet etc. Label on
the unit says Trane. Installation instructions inside the controls
compartment says A/S.

My money says A/S has never manufactured heating & ac equipment, and
Trane used to be nothing but large commercial. Third parties made the
resi & smaller pkg units until Trane got up to speed and started
making everything for itself & A/S.

AMERICAN STANDARD IS THE PARENT COMPANY OF TRANE. ALL RESIDENTIAL
COMPRESSOR BEARING EQUIPMENT IS MANUFACTURED IN THE TYLER TEXAS
FACILITY. THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AMERICAN STANDARD AND TRANE IS
THE CABINET DESIGN. THESE PRODUCTS RUN THE SAME ASSEMBLY LINES AND
UTILIZE IDENTICAL OEM PARTS. THE XL19i IS IDENTICAL TO THE AMERICAN
STANDARD HERITAGE 18.

THE ONLY QUALITY DIFFERENCE IS THE INSTALLING CONTRACTOR. AMERICAN
STANDARD WAS RATED #1 BY A LEADING CONSUMER PUBLICATION.

I know this XL19i/Heritage18 unit is one of the top performing HP's out
there but it's gawd-awful expensive.

Is there any difference between the brands in the pricing?
