Allied Air 14c44 Two-stage Gas Furnace 96% Afue Ecm

Product Description

The ALLIED AIR 14c44 is a two-stage upflow and horizontal natural gas furnace rated at 96% AFUE, designed for residential forced-air heating systems. It delivers 30,500 BTU/h input and 29,000 BTU/h output, making it well suited for smaller zone applications or homes with lower heating load requirements. The unit runs on 120 volts AC and uses a silicon nitride igniter for reliable cold-weather starting. A high-efficiency ECM blower motor supports quieter operation and reduced electrical consumption compared to standard PSC motors. Licensed HVAC technicians perform installation and commissioning on this unit.

The 14c44 is configured for upflow or horizontal installation, giving contractors flexibility in tight mechanical room layouts or attic installations. At 17.5 inches wide, 28.5 inches deep, and 33 inches tall, it fits in standard utility closets and alcoves sized for compact furnaces. The two-stage burner allows the unit to operate at a reduced first stage under partial load conditions, reducing short-cycling and improving comfort. This furnace belongs to the A962E series and is intended for natural gas supply lines with a half-inch connection size.
