What our Experts Think

• Outstanding Efficiency (96% AFUE)
  • With 96% Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, this furnace converts nearly all the fuel into usable heat — leading to significantly lower heating costs compared to standard furnaces.

• Variable‑Speed Comfort Control
  • The variable‑speed blower motor continuously adjusts airflow for smooth temperature transitions, quieter operation, and better indoor air circulation.

• Two‑Stage Heating
  • Two‑stage gas valve enhances comfort by using a low stage for moderate heating and a high stage for cold days, reducing temperature swings and improving energy use.

• Flexible Installation (Downflow/Horizontal)
  • Designed for downflow or horizontal setups — perfect for basements, attics, or crawl spaces where vertical upflow isn’t feasible.

• 115 V Operation
  • Uses standard 115 V power, simplifying electrical needs and installation for existing home systems.

• Modern System Compatibility
  • When paired with a matched R‑32 HVAC outdoor unit and a smart thermostat, this furnace helps deliver balanced comfort and enhanced seasonal efficiency.
