Goodman arvt960603bn 60000 Btu/h 96 Afue Gas Furnace

Product Description

The Goodman arvt960603bn is a 96 AFUE, two-stage, variable-speed ECM gas furnace designed for upflow and horizontal installations in residential and light-commercial applications. Rated at 60,000 BTU/h high-fire input with 58,200 BTU/h output, it delivers efficient, quiet heating through a 1/2 hp ECM blower motor capable of 1,065 cubic feet per minute at high speed. The two-stage gas valve allows the unit to operate at a reduced 42,000 BTU/h low-fire input during moderate demand, which improves comfort and fuel efficiency. Licensed HVAC technicians perform installation. The unit is ANSI certified and ETL listed, confirming it meets established safety and performance standards.

This furnace is configured for upflow and horizontal airflow, making it suitable for closet, alcove, attic, and crawlspace installations where vertical or side-discharge ductwork is required. With a nominal cooling capacity pairing of 36,000 BTU/h (3 tons), it integrates into split-system central air setups. The communication-capable design supports compatible controls and thermostats. It uses a non-NOx burner configuration with three burners and is produced in the United States. It is well-suited for residential new construction and retrofit projects where high-efficiency gas heat is specified.

Key Features

• 96 AFUE two-stage combustion with non-NOx burners reduces fuel consumption during partial-load operation
• Variable-speed ECM blower motor at up to 1,065 CFM (high fire) and 800 CFM (low fire) for precise airflow control
• Upflow and horizontal installation configuration supports multiple duct orientations
• Communication-capable for integration with compatible thermostats and controls
• ANSI certified and ETL listed for safety and performance compliance
• Manufactured in the United States

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM upflow/horizontal gas furnace for residential and light-commercial split-system applications requiring a 3-ton nominal cooling match and 96 AFUE two-stage heating. No specific replacement part numbers were provided in the available product data.

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's installation instructions. Shut off all electrical power and gas supply to the system before beginning any connections or service work. Minimum clearances to combustible materials must be maintained as specified; do not reduce vent or air supply openings. Vent diameter options are 2 inches or 3 inches — confirm vent sizing per the installation manual before completing the flue connection.
