Ge nf98u090m5cr Modulating Gas Furnace 88000 Btu/h

Product Description

The GENERAL ELECTRIC nf98u090m5cr is a modulating upflow and horizontal gas furnace rated at 88,000 BTU/h input and 86,000 BTU/h output, achieving 97% AFUE for high-efficiency residential heating. It operates on 120 volts and is driven by a variable-speed ECM motor producing 1 horsepower, delivering up to 2,000 CFM of airflow. The C cabinet measures 33 inches high, 21 inches wide, and 28.5 inches deep. This furnace is installed by licensed HVAC technicians in residential applications where high-efficiency, modulating heat output and precise airflow control are required.

Designed for upflow and horizontal installations, the nf98u090m5cr fits residential gas heating systems compatible with R410A and R454B refrigerant-based cooling coil configurations. The modulating heating stage allows the furnace to vary output across a range rather than cycling between fixed stages, improving comfort and reducing temperature swings. The C cabinet size suits standard residential duct configurations. Low NOx emissions keep this unit compliant with stricter regional air-quality requirements, making it suitable for installation in jurisdictions with low-NOx mandates.

• Variable-speed ECM motor operates quietly and adjusts airflow to match system demand
• 88,000 BTU/h input and 86,000 BTU/h output with 2,000 CFM airflow capacity
• Low NOx emissions rated below 40 ng/J for compliance with strict regional air-quality codes
• Compatible with R410A and R454B refrigerant coil systems for combined heating and cooling installations
• Limited lifetime heat exchanger warranty available with product registration

Compatibility

Compatible with R410A and R454B refrigerant-based cooling coil systems. Designed for upflow and horizontal duct configurations in residential gas heating applications using the C cabinet footprint.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with local mechanical codes, IFGC requirements, and the manufacturer written instructions. Shut off gas supply and disconnect electrical power before beginning any work. The unit requires a 120-volt power supply with a 20-amp fuse and a 1/2-inch gas connection. Do not alter the factory wiring, venting configuration, or gas train without verifying compliance with applicable codes.
