For years, homeowners have thought of each component in their heating and cooling system as a separate unite. But they’re actually integrated pieces of much larger comfort picture. A family unit, if you will. The indoor unit – usually a furnace – works in conjunction with the outside air conditioning unit to ensure that the air inside your home is delivered quietly and efficiently to every room in your home.

That’s why our heating and air conditioning components are designed and engineered to work seamlessly in what is called a ‘matched system’. Matched systems can be ‘split’ (separate units are placed inside and outside the home) or ‘packages’ (one single unit, which houses all components in a single cabinet, is placed outside your home). Either way, matched systems are more reliable, quieter, more efficient and last longer.

Customization
Choosing a comfort system is like customizing a car. Once we have helped you pick out the right components, you’ll have all kinds of options to further enhance its performance – and your comfort.

Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health in collaboration with scientists at Environmental Health and Engineering, Inc. evaluated the ability of American Standard AccuClean to remove the common flu from a home’s air. 

The common flu virus was released into the air inside of a test duct.  The removal efficiency was calculated from the amount of the common flu virus measured in air samples collected before and after passing through our whole-house air cleaner. 

The result:  American Standard AccuClean removed more than 99 percent of the common flu virus from the filtered air.  In addition, due to similarities among types of influenza virus, the whole-home air cleaning systems also will remove greater than 99 percent of other forms of the virus including influenza B, influenza C, and avian influenza (also a strain of influenza A virus).
