Helen and Robert Mitchell had lived in their Snohomish home for nearly 35 years. Nestled on the edge of town with a wide front porch and a garden that bloomed every spring without fail, the house held decades of memories—birthday parties, snow days, grandkids’ visits. And through it all, one constant had kept the home warm through Michigan winters: their American Standard furnace, installed the year after they moved in.
But now, in its 34th winter, the old unit was showing its age. It had started making strange noises, running less efficiently, and struggling to keep the upstairs warm. Their HVAC technician, who’d serviced the furnace for years, gently told them it was time. “You got your money’s worth,” he said with a smile. The Mitchells didn’t hesitate. That old furnace had been reliable, quiet, and rock-solid—just like the brand. “Let’s stick with what we know,” Robert said. Within a few days, a new high-efficiency American Standard furnace was installed. It was smarter, sleeker, and whisper-quiet, but it had the same dependable feel. “Feels like we never skipped a beat,” Helen said as she poured coffee in the warm kitchen. In a house built on trust and tradition, staying with American Standard just made sense.
The history of American Standard furnaces dates back to the late 19th century, when the company’s roots were first established through the formation of the American Radiator Company in 1892. Known for producing cast-iron radiators and other heating products, the company became a major force in home comfort solutions during the industrial age. In 1929, it merged with the Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company to form American Standard, a brand that would become synonymous with innovation in both heating and plumbing systems. Over the decades, American Standard continued to develop and manufacture dependable residential and commercial heating products, earning a strong reputation for quality and reliability.
In the late 20th century, American Standard expanded its presence in the HVAC industry, designing energy-efficient furnaces that met the evolving needs of homeowners. The company eventually became part of Trane Technologies, one of the most respected names in climate control. Today, American Standard furnaces are known for their advanced engineering, quiet operation, and long-term durability. Though the brand has evolved, it still carries forward a legacy of American manufacturing excellence and a century-long commitment to indoor comfort.

It’s 15–20 Years Old. Most furnaces last 15–20 years. If yours is getting up there in age, it’s likely losing efficiency and may be nearing the end of its lifespan—even if it’s still running.
An older or failing furnace often runs longer and harder to heat your home, leading to higher utility costs.
If you’re calling a technician every season (or more), the repair bills can quickly add up. A new unit might save money in the long run.
Cold spots or inconsistent temperatures can indicate your furnace is no longer distributing heat properly.
Is your furnace turning on and off more often than it used to? This could signal mechanical issues or failing components.
Banging, popping, rattling, or squealing are signs of wear—and potential failure.
An older furnace may struggle to filter air effectively, leading to dust, dry air, or increased allergy symptoms.
A yellow or flickering pilot light may indicate carbon monoxide or combustion issues—this requires immediate attention.
If your home still feels cold even with the furnace running, or it takes longer to heat, the system may be losing efficiency.
Fast HVAC is an authorized installer and servicer of American Standard furnaces. This means your furnace is installed to the manufacturer’s specifications. Most importantly, your warranty is intact when installed by our pros. If your American Standard furnace needs service, our pros will be able to pinpoint the issue, with authentic American Standard replacements parts from in-stock inventory.
The technician starts with a walkthrough of your home to understand its layout, size, and insulation quality. They'll ask questions about your current heating performance, any comfort issues (cold rooms, drafts, high bills), and your preferences for energy efficiency or smart technology
To ensure proper sizing, the technician performs a Manual J load calculation. This includes the square footage of your home, window types and insulation levels, ceiling height, number of occupants, and local climate data. This calculation helps avoid installing a furnace that’s too big (wastes energy) or too small (can’t keep up).
They inspect your existing ductwork for leaks or gaps, sizing and airflow capability, and cleanliness or obstructions.
Based on the assessment, the technician will recommend furnace models (standard vs. high-efficiency American Standard models), discuss features like variable-speed blowers or smart thermostats, and present costs, rebate options, and warranties.
For your American Standard furnace, the HVAC technician will guide you on energy efficiency ratings (AFUE), expected utility savings, return on investment, and compatibility with future HVAC upgrades
Once you've selected a system, the technician provides a detailed estimate, schedules installation, and explains what to expect before, during, and after the install.
Servicing a American Standard home furnace involves a step-by-step inspection and tune-up to ensure it’s running safely, efficiently, and reliably—especially before the heating season kicks in. Here’s how our professional HVAC technician typically handles it:
Before starting, the technician will shut off power and gas to the furnace, follow American Standard manufacturer guidelines for safety and access, and wear protective gear and follow proper ventilation protocols.
Dust and debris can affect performance. The tech will clean the burners for even flame distribution, vacuum out the blower compartment, remove and clean the blower motor and fan blades if needed, and check and clean the flame sensor and ignitor.
The technician will carefully inspect the heat exchanger for cracks or corrosion (a critical safety check), burners for buildup or misalignment, wiring and connections for fraying, corrosion, or loose fittings, and the belts and moving parts for wear and proper tension.
A clogged filter can reduce efficiency and strain the system. The tech will check the air filter, and clean or replace it depending on condition
Our HVAC technician will test your thermostat to ensure it communicates properly with the furnace, the cycle timing is correct (on/off intervals), and the settings are calibrated correctly for comfort and efficiency
With everything clean and inspected, the technician will restart the system, monitor startup behavior, flame pattern, and blower operation, check gas pressure, voltage readings, and amp draws, and listen for abnormal noises or vibration
