Arizona Heat Tolerance

Trane and American Standard are actually made by the same parent company (Trane Technologies) and share many components. The main difference is branding and dealer network. Bradford is an authorized Trane dealer — not American Standard. For West Valley homeowners, Bradford recommends Trane because Bradford can activate the full manufacturer warranty on every installation.

🏆
