Friedrich FR801V1005A21UHSCAP Gas Furnace 100K Btu Ecm

Product Description

The FRIEDRICH FR801V1005A21UHSCAP is a single-stage natural gas furnace rated at 100,000 BTU/h with 80 percent AFUE efficiency. It uses an ECM variable-speed motor to deliver consistent airflow while reducing electrical draw compared to standard PSC motor furnaces. The cabinet is 21 inches wide and is designed for upflow and horizontal configurations, making it adaptable to a range of residential installation layouts. Licensed HVAC technicians install and service this unit as part of a central forced-air heating system.

This furnace is suited for residential applications requiring a 5-ton nominal system. The upflow and horizontal configuration options allow installation in utility closets, alcoves, basements, or attic platforms where horizontal orientation is required. The single-stage gas valve provides straightforward operation, and the ECM variable-speed blower motor supports zoning setups and improved dehumidification performance when paired with compatible cooling equipment.
