Ultra-Low NOx Compliant
In California, many counties have a lower NOx emission requirement than the rest of the United States. The GR9S960805CU Goodman gas furnace is California Ultra-Low NOx compliant. With a built-in low emission filter and special venting system, this Goodman gas furnace produces less nitrogen oxides to be released into the atmosphere, lowering the overall amount of toxic greenhouse gases output of the average California home.
Ultra-Low NOx furnaces are required for gas furnace installations in the following counties in California: Fresno, Joaquin, Kern, Kings, Los Angeles, Madera, Merced, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Stanislaus, and Tulare. If you have any questions, please contact us.
80,000 BTU
The GR9S960805CU Goodman gas furnace is 80,000 BTU's. This BTU count is a measure of the input of the furnace per hour, while the output of this furnace is 76,800 BTU's (80,000 X 96% AFUE) per hour. In ideal climate conditions, this 80,000 BTU furnace is usually used to heat a small house.
96% Efficiency Rating
The GR9S960805CU Goodman gas furnace is 96% efficient, and the standard furnace efficiency on the market today. This means that 96% of the gas going into the furnace is used to heat your home and the remaining 4% is lost out of the flue venting. Please note that all 96% furnaces must be vented using plastic/PVC flue venting, while anything higher than 90% efficient must be vented using plastic/PVC venting.
Single Stage Furnace
The GR9S960805CU Goodman gas furnace is a single stage furnace has only one heat output. Regardless of the indoor temperature, this furnace will burn at 100% output whenever the thermostat calls for it. Like a light switch, this furnace's burner will either be on or off and nothing in between. A single stage furnace is the standard efficient furnace since every time your furnace turns on the furnace uses the same amount of energy.
Natural Gas Furnace
From the factory, the GR9S960805CU, as well as other ultra-low NOx furnaces, runs on natural gas. These types of furnaces are only available in natural gas configurations. If you need a propane furnace, you will need to order the standard NOx version of this furnace and add a propane conversion kit to it. The standard NOx version can be found here: GR9S960805CN
9 ECM Blower Motor
Instead of the last generation PSC blower motor, the GR9S960805CU utilizes a 9-speed ECM motor, which uses less power and provides smarter air circulation. All of this causes an overall increase in the electrical efficiency of your furnace, which saves you money.
