Oxbox J962V080BU3SA Gas Furnace 80000 Btu/h 96 Afue Two-stage Variable Speed Ecm

Product Description

The Oxbox J962V080BU3SA is a high-efficiency residential gas furnace rated at 80,000 BTU/h with a 96 AFUE rating, meaning 96 cents of every dollar spent on fuel is converted to usable heat. It operates on a two-stage heating configuration, allowing the unit to run at a lower stage under moderate load conditions and step up to full capacity when demand increases. The blower is driven by a variable speed ECM motor, which delivers quieter operation, improved airflow consistency, and reduced electrical consumption compared to standard PSC motors. HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this equipment.

This furnace is suited for residential forced-air heating applications where high efficiency and precise comfort control are priorities. The two-stage gas valve pairs with the variable speed ECM blower to minimize temperature swings and reduce short-cycling across a range of heating loads. The J962V-U series is designed for upflow or horizontal configurations based on the U designation in the model number. Typical installations include new construction and retrofit applications in single-family homes and light commercial spaces where efficiency codes require high-AFUE equipment.

Key Features

• 96 AFUE rating meets high-efficiency requirements in most regional energy codes
• Two-stage operation reduces short-cycling and improves temperature consistency
• Variable speed ECM blower motor lowers electrical consumption and reduces noise during low-stage operation
• 80,000 BTU/h output suited for medium to larger residential heating loads
• J962V-U series platform with upflow or horizontal installation orientation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style residential gas furnace compatible with standard forced-air duct systems. No specific compatible model numbers or replacement part numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC contractor in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), local mechanical codes, and the manufacturer installation instructions. Shut off gas supply and disconnect electrical power before servicing or replacing any components. Venting must be sized and installed per Category IV requirements typical of 90-plus AFUE condensing furnaces. Do not operate the unit without verifying proper condensate drainage, flue connections, and gas line pressure at startup.
