Brands We Love

 

When you need a new furnace or air conditioner, you may be bewildered by all the brands available. Which ones are most reliable? Which are easiest to repair when something does go wrong? How long do they last?

What luck! We here at Maertin Heating and Cooling have done all that research for you. Our reputation rests, in large part, on the durability of the equipment we choose, and the price point for that equipment, so we will only install equipment that we have the utmost confidence in.

So what gets all the love from Maertin Heating and Cooling? We only install American Standard residential and commercial heating and cooling equipment, and Ecobee smart thermostats.

American Standard provides your home with the highest quality equipment with the fewest breakdowns in the HVAC industry. Google “American Standard” and you’ll see they consistently rank at the top of Consumer Reports and nearly every other independent review organization. American Standard has exceptionally high standards for their own customers; they will only sell their products to certified, extensively trained dealers – and Maertin is very proud to be among them.

President Scott Maertin says of American Standard, “I have visited their manufacturing plant in Tyler, Texas where Americans proudly assemble and rigorously test this equipment.”

In reality, while there are over 150 “brands” of HVAC equipment, there are just six manufacturers. Each manufacturer uses different paint colors, labels and advertising to set their brands apart. Ingersoll Rand is the parent company of both American Standard and Trane, which are identical in every way except paint color and label.

American Standard may be considered a “luxury” brand, but it is built to last and it is worth every penny. While residential and consumer customers can expect to replace lesser brands of HVAC units in about 12 years, American Standard equipment will typically be in use for an additional decade – nearly twice as long as the cheaper brands. On the rare occasions when repairs are needs, Maertin is ready to get the unit fixed. We carry most replacement parts stocked in our vans, and with our 24/7/365 service, your family will be cozy and warm – or cool and comfortable – usually in about an hour.

At Maertin, we are proud to be on the leading edge of smart technology, installing and recommending Ecobee smart thermostats. You can ask Alexa to control your home’s temperature with an Ecobee unit, throughout your connected smart home. With Ecobee remote sensors, you’ll never have a hot or cold room, as they constantly check temperature and movement to equalize house temperature accurately and efficiently.
