ACiQ G96VTN0601716B Gas Furnace

AFUE stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. A 96% rating means that 96% of the fuel consumed is converted into usable heat for your home, with only 4% lost through exhaust. This high efficiency is a significant upgrade over older, standard-efficiency furnaces and will directly lower your monthly heating costs.

A single-stage furnace runs at 100% capacity whenever it's on, which can lead to temperature swings. This two-stage model can run at a lower capacity on milder days to maintain a steady temperature, only kicking into high gear when the weather gets truly cold. This results in more consistent warmth and quieter operation.

Yes, it does. The variable-speed ECM blower motor allows the system to adjust airflow precisely, which works in tandem with the integrated dehumidification mode to remove excess moisture from your air during the cooling season, making your home feel more comfortable.

With dimensions of 17.5 inches wide by 29.5 inches deep and 35 inches high, this unit is designed for compact footprints. Its multi-positional design also allows for flexible installation, meaning it can be configured to fit various closet, basement, or attic setups.

The secondary heat exchanger is where the final bit of heat is extracted from the exhaust gases, which creates condensation. Stainless steel is highly resistant to the corrosion caused by this acidic condensation, which significantly extends the lifespan of the furnace compared to units with standard steel exchangers.

This furnace comes with a 20-year warranty on the heat exchanger, which is the most critical component of the system. It also includes a 10-year warranty on parts, providing long-term peace of mind for your investment.
