American Standard® is one of the most recognized HVAC brands in North America, known for delivering products that are built to last. They combine over a century of engineering heritage with modern efficiency and durability to provide long-term comfort and performance.

Their HVAC products and systems are tested against extreme environmental elements and rigorous trials, to develop systems that are designed for longevity. With this, American Standard has built a reputation for durable, high-performance equipment to deliver year-round comfort. When interior designer Amber Lewis was ready to upgrade the HVAC system in her new home renovation, she turned to American Standard to find the right products that were a fit.

There’s a lot that goes into designing and renovating a home, and while it’s often overlooked, the HVAC system is essential for maintaining a comfortable environment. In addition, upgrading equipment can help lower energy bills and create long-term savings.

Amber chose the American Standard AccuComfort™ Variable Speed Platinum 20 Heat Pump because its variable speed technology automatically adjusts heating and cooling to handle the hot California afternoons and cooler evenings. Having a system that maintains a consistent temperature also helps reduce energy consumption and, of course, allows it to operate quietly as a type of invisible hero in a home.

Knowing that being comfortable in your home is, in a sense, a comfort of its own, Amber is intentional about how she manages this essential detail.

“When I’m building or designing a new home, comfort and temperature should be the last thing you have to worry about when you finally move in. And for me personally, having a quality HVAC system to deliver ongoing comfort is an important element of my wellbeing,” said Amber. “American Standard offers every element I need, including a smart thermostat to consistently provide a comfortable, elevated environment for me and my family.” 

There are lots of considerations when choosing an HVAC system, from efficiency ratings and new technologies to installation options. Amber and her team worked with American Standard’s extensive dealer network to easily find a local, certified dealer for installation, and any ongoing maintenance that may be needed in the future. The American Standard dealer helped Amber identify which systems were best suited for her space, offering energy-efficient options tailored to the unique needs of both her home and barn.

American Standard is an official partner of the Sunset Idea House x Amber Lewis project. This one-of-a-kind Southern California property is scheduled for completion early next year.
