Goodman am9c960803bn Two Stage Gas Furnace 96 Afue 80K Btu

Product Description

The GOODMAN am9c960803bn is a 96 AFUE two-stage upflow/horizontal gas furnace designed for ducted residential and light commercial heating applications. It delivers 80,000 BTU/h input at high fire and 56,000 BTU/h at low fire, achieving corresponding output capacities of 76,800 BTU/h and 53,760 BTU/h. The unit runs on a multi-speed ECM blower motor rated at 0.5 hp, which reduces energy consumption during part-load operation. Low NOx burners meet emissions standards in regulated markets. Licensed HVAC technicians install and commission this furnace as a primary heating system in ducted residential or light commercial builds.

This furnace is sized for nominal 3-ton cooling coil pairings and fits standard upflow or horizontal duct configurations. The 17.5-inch cabinet width accommodates typical closet, alcove, and platform installations. Its two-stage gas valve modulates between low-fire and high-fire to match building load, improving comfort and reducing short-cycling. The ECM blower supports variable airflow, making it compatible with properly sized cooling coils and air handler setups in split-system configurations. It is a ducted indoor unit produced in the United States and is rated for single-phase, 115-volt electrical service.
