Goodman amvc960603bn 60000 Btu/h 96 Afue Two Stage Gas Furnace

Product Description

The GOODMAN amvc960603bn is a 96 AFUE, two-stage, variable-speed gas furnace designed for upflow and horizontal installations in ducted residential and light-commercial HVAC systems. It delivers 60,000 BTU/h at high-fire input with a rated output of 57,660 BTU/h, and steps down to 42,000 BTU/h at low-fire for improved efficiency during mild heating demand. The ECM blower motor runs at variable speed up to 1,200 RPM and supports matched cooling capacity from 1.5 to 3 tons. Licensed HVAC technicians install and commission this unit. ComfortBridge Technology compatibility makes it suitable for communicating system configurations.

The amvc960603bn is configured for upflow or horizontal installation in ducted indoor applications. It is designed around the AMVC96 series platform and is FER compliant and ENERGY STAR certified. The unit supports nominal cooling capacity of 36,000 BTU/h when matched with a compatible air conditioning or heat pump system. The two-stage gas valve reduces short-cycling and temperature swings, while the variable-speed ECM blower optimizes airflow across a range from 800 to 1,065 cubic feet per minute in heating mode. This furnace suits residential new construction and retrofit projects requiring high-efficiency gas heat.
