Bosch bgh96m120d5c Condensing Gas Furnace 96% Afue

Product Description

The BOSCH bgh96m120d5c is a two-stage, multipoise condensing gas furnace rated at 96% AFUE and 120,000 BTU/h output. Designed for the BGH96 series, it operates on a 115V/1-phase/60Hz electrical supply and is compatible with low-global-warming-potential refrigerants, including R-454B. The multipoise cabinet allows upflow, downflow, and horizontal installation orientations, giving installers flexibility when replacing existing equipment or roughing in new construction. Licensed HVAC technicians install this unit in residential forced-air heating systems, often paired with a matched coil and outdoor unit for integrated heating and cooling performance.

The bgh96m120d5c is suited for residential heating applications where high-efficiency, two-stage gas heat is required. Its multipoise design accommodates a wide range of installation configurations without requiring a separate model for each orientation. The furnace is engineered to pair with Bosch IDS outdoor units and cased coils for a complete dual-fuel or cooling-integrated system. The two-stage gas valve reduces short-cycling and supports more consistent indoor comfort across varying outdoor conditions. ENERGY STAR certification confirms that the unit meets federal efficiency thresholds for residential heating equipment.

Key Features

• 96% AFUE heating efficiency, ENERGY STAR rated

Compatibility

Designed to integrate with Bosch IDS outdoor units and cased coils for complete heating and cooling system configurations. Compatible with low-global-warming-potential refrigerants as required by current safety standards.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with local mechanical codes and the manufacturer's installation instructions. Shut off gas supply and disconnect electrical power before any service or connection work. Proper venting is required per IFGC standards; this is a condensing furnace and requires a dedicated PVC flue and condensate drain. Do not substitute venting materials rated for non-condensing appliances.
