Friedrich FR962V1005A21M4SCAP Gas Furnace 96% 100K Btu

Product Description

The FRIEDRICH FR962V1005A21M4SCAP is a natural gas furnace rated at 96 percent AFUE and 100,000 BTU/h output. It uses a two-stage burner and an ECM variable speed blower motor to deliver precise heating capacity while reducing energy draw during part-load conditions. The multi-position configuration allows installation in upflow, downflow, and horizontal orientations, giving installers flexibility across a wide range of residential and light commercial applications. This unit is sized for 5-ton nominal airflow and measures 21 inches wide. Licensed HVAC contractors handle installation and commissioning.

This furnace is suited for residential forced-air heating systems where high efficiency and quiet, variable-speed operation are required. The multi-position design makes it a practical choice for attic, basement, closet, or crawlspace installs where orientation may vary by jobsite. The two-stage firing rate reduces short-cycling and supports better humidity control during shoulder seasons. At 100,000 BTU/h, it fits mid-to-large residential homes or small commercial spaces relying on natural gas heat.

Key Features

• 96 percent AFUE efficiency rating reduces fuel consumption compared to standard-efficiency units
• Two-stage burner operation lowers output during mild conditions, reducing short-cycling
• ECM variable speed blower motor delivers precise airflow and lower electrical draw
• Multi-position configuration supports upflow, downflow, and horizontal installs
• 21-inch cabinet width accommodates tighter mechanical room layouts
• 5-ton nominal airflow capacity matches larger residential and small commercial duct systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style natural gas furnace for multi-position forced-air heating systems with 5-ton nominal airflow capacity.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC contractor in accordance with local mechanical codes and the manufacturer instructions. Shut off the gas supply and disconnect electrical power before any service or connection work. Venting must comply with applicable fuel gas codes, including IFGC requirements for 96 percent AFUE condensing furnace category IV vent systems. Verify static pressure and duct sizing before startup to ensure proper airflow for the ECM motor to operate within design parameters.
