I was told these are the same furnace different name.
Is American Standard sold for less in general?

Will a Trane installer install an American Standard

We would not. Look at it as the bottom of the line

yes, and easier to get. Trane only sells to its dealers, and if you are not one.......:rolleyes:

reported that the American Standard had the fewest service calls of all. They are the same company overall. Like Chevrolet and General motors...

Fwiw, I have a 30 year old American Standard boiler that has never needed any serious repair. Seems like it's well made to me...
