Goodman ar9s960803bn 80K Btu 96 Afue Gas Furnace Upflow

Product Description

The GOODMAN ar9s960803bn is a single-stage, multi-speed ECM upflow and horizontal gas furnace rated at 80,000 BTU/h input with a 96 AFUE efficiency rating. Designed for ducted residential and light-commercial applications, this unit delivers 76,880 BTU/h output at high fire and moves up to 1,385 cubic feet per minute of conditioned air in heating mode. The 0.5 hp blower motor operates at multiple speeds to match heating demand, improving comfort and reducing energy use. The unit runs on 115 volts AC at 60 Hz and is ENERGY STAR certified. Licensed HVAC technicians install and commission this furnace per local mechanical and gas codes.

The ar9s960803bn is built for upflow and horizontal installation in ducted indoor systems. Its 17.5-inch cabinet width fits standard platform and closet installations where width clearance is limited. Nominal cooling capacity pairing is rated at 36,000 BTU/h (3 tons), making it a match for split-system air conditioning in residential new-construction and replacement applications. The furnace carries ANSI certification and is produced in the United States. Non-NOx burner design supports compliance in low-emission jurisdictions. The temperature rise range at high fire is 35 to 65 degrees F, which must be verified during commissioning against the duct system static pressure.
