Bosch bgh96m060b3c 96% Afue 60000 Btu/h Gas Furnace

Product Description

The BOSCH bgh96m060b3c is a two-stage, multipoise condensing gas furnace rated at 96% AFUE and 60,000 BTU/h output. Part of the BGH96 Series, it is designed for residential heating applications where high-efficiency performance and installation flexibility are required. The furnace is compatible with R-454B and other low-global-warming-potential refrigerants, meeting current safety requirements for next-generation refrigerant systems. Its multipoise design allows upflow, downflow, and horizontal installation orientations, making it suitable for a wide range of structural configurations. Licensed HVAC technicians perform installation and commissioning.

The bgh96m060b3c is intended for residential forced-air heating systems and is designed to integrate with Bosch IDS outdoor units and cased coils to form a complete matched heating and cooling system. It is also suited for dual-fuel applications when paired with a compatible Bosch IDS heat pump. The 115/1/60 electrical supply requirement is standard for residential gas furnace installations. Its two-stage operation allows the unit to run at reduced capacity under lighter load conditions, improving comfort and reducing short-cycling.
