Features

Balanced comfort and efficiency

While most furnaces are single stage, meaning they're either on or off, this furnace can heat at two different speeds. Most of the time the unit will meet heating needs at its lower speed, resulting in balanced and consistent temperatures with lower energy use.

Powerful energy savings.

Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, or AFUE, measures how efficiently your furnace uses fuel. An energy rating of up to 97% AFUE means this furnace can lower your energy bills by 20% compared to a standard furnace, while still keeping your home warm and quiet. It may even help you qualify for energy rebates.
