Friedrich FR801T1255A24UHSNAP Furnace 125000 Btu 80%

Product Description

The FRIEDRICH FR801T1255A24UHSNAP is a natural gas furnace rated at 125,000 BTU/h input with 80 percent AFUE efficiency. It uses an electronically commutated motor (ECM) for the blower drive, which reduces electrical consumption compared to a standard PSC motor. This unit is built for upflow and horizontal installation configurations, making it adaptable to a range of equipment room and attic layouts. Licensed HVAC technicians install this unit as part of a forced-air heating system, typically paired with a matched cooling coil and condensing unit. The single-stage gas valve provides straightforward operation and simplified control integration.

This furnace is sized for residential or light commercial applications requiring up to 5 nominal tons of airflow capacity. At 24 inches wide, it fits standard equipment closets and alcoves designed for full-size upflow furnaces. The upflow configuration is common in basement and utility room installs, while the horizontal option suits crawlspace and attic applications. The Builders Series designation indicates this unit is positioned for new construction and production builder projects where reliable performance and installation consistency are priorities.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with local mechanical codes and the manufacturer installation instructions. Shut off the gas supply and disconnect electrical power before any service or connection work.
