Goodman ar9s960804cn Gas Furnace 80000 Btu/h 97 Afue

Product Description

The GOODMAN ar9s960804cn is a single-stage, multi-speed ECM gas furnace rated at 80,000 BTU/h input capacity and 97 AFUE, delivering 77,600 BTU/h output. Designed for upflow and horizontal installation configurations, this unit operates on 115-volt, single-phase, 60 Hz power with a minimum circuit ampacity of 13.7 amps and a maximum overcurrent protection rating of 20 amps. The Non-NOx gas valve and stainless-steel heat exchanger assembly meet ANSI certification requirements. Licensed HVAC technicians install this furnace in ducted forced-air systems where high efficiency and multi-speed airflow control are required.

This furnace is suited for residential and multi-family ducted heating applications in upflow or horizontal configurations. With a nominal cooling capacity pairing of 48,000 BTU/h (4 tons), it integrates into split systems where an air handler or coil cabinet is paired downstream. The AR9S96 series targets installations that require ENERGY STAR certified equipment, high-efficiency gas heat, and variable airflow without full variable-speed complexity. The 21-inch cabinet width fits standard platform installations where space is a consideration.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with local mechanical codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), and the manufacturer installation instructions. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power and shut off the gas supply at the manual shutoff valve before beginning any service or installation work. Verify that venting, gas line sizing, and combustion air provisions meet the requirements for a 97 AFUE condensing furnace, including appropriate PVC or CPVC vent materials. Do not fire the unit before all duct connections, drain lines, and electrical terminations are verified complete.
