Really?? Haven't you ever seen one??!!

They look a lot like a Trane TTB/TWB series unit....

 

its the cheaper Trane line i also heard Ameristar is new American Standard line which is all the same company

 

American Standards = Ameristar

who would of thunk? thanks are they of good design ? any more problems than the rest of the stuff out there?

 

are they related to Tempstar?

Ameristar's side panels look like swamp cooler doors.

•Systems available from 13 up to 14 SEER

Wow! impressive!

They are simply builder grade American standard units. If you want high end, they don't have any.

We put several in 7 to 10 years ago, no problems.

 

Looks identical to another brand "comfortstar". They are made in China, and small units(<3ton) use Toshiba/Panasonic rotary compressor. They are quiet and look nice. The compressor has been used in mini split for more than 20 years and is approved for reliability, but I'm not sure how they work in central ac here.

 

Outdoor units are made by Midea. Ingersoll Rand refused the rotaries, all sizes will have scrolls. Coils & air handlers are made by Allstyle. Only thing IR mades is furnaces.

 

It is used in Florida as a low end Trane/American Standard line

 

That was a couple years ago. Now both A-S and Trane are selling it.

Ameristar

 

There is something awfully wrong with that unit being called "Ameristar".

How bout "Youamericanswantyourwholehousecooled...weuseminisplits"

 

General electric makes them

 

I like the mostly solid panels for rental units as the kids don't write there name in the fins. I've installed them for a few years and no issues to date.
There a great option for those wanting a to spend less

 

I think they are made better than most units

 

Um 2 ton package units rotery

 

Anybody know what rpm cfm they use?

850 RPM - see attachment.

 

ain't nothin wrong with them units jack... besides it's all about installation. on can coils you better make sure the static pressure is okay.

 

 

Put in quite a few ameristars when ppl don't wanna pay for a trane...only gripe is they don't supply 'll driers so make sure to pick one up if you install these.

 

I would rather have them come without. That way I can replace them easier if they are outside of the condenser.

Is that a MC coil in that outdoor unit?

If so... not for me...

 

No, they have small tubing in the condenser coil though.


Also, this thread is years old...

 

Thank you rundawg!!

I've installed a lot of Ameristar over the last 2 years. I have no concerns about the quality of their stuff. The furnaces are cheaper looking but the same design as a trane with the same parts inside. The condensers are solid, and I personally like the like design of their copper tubed evaporator coils.

 

I just picked up one cheap, plannin on putting in my garage, and was nervous about that tiny little compressor, but i read good reviews on them.
