Friedrich FR951T0855A21M4SNAP 95% 85K Btu Furnace

Product Description

The FRIEDRICH FR951T0855A21M4SNAP is a multi-position, single-stage natural gas furnace rated at 95% AFUE and 85,000 BTU/h input. Designed for the Builders Series, it delivers high-efficiency heating through an ECM blower motor, which reduces electrical consumption compared to standard PSC motors. The multi-position configuration allows installation in upflow, downflow, or horizontal orientations, giving installers flexibility across a wide range of mechanical room and closet layouts. This furnace is suited for residential new construction and replacement applications where a reliable, single-stage heating system with a 5-ton nominal cooling capacity is required.

This furnace is rated for residential installations and pairs with a central air conditioning system of up to 5 nominal tons. The multi-position design makes it practical for basement, closet, utility room, and attic installations. The Builders Series positions this unit as a straightforward replacement or new-construction furnace where proven performance and installation efficiency are the priority. Licensed HVAC technicians handle the gas, electrical, and venting connections during commissioning.
