Ruud U97MV0603A17DHSGAP Gas Furnace 97% Afue 60000 Btu

Product Description

The RUUD U97MV0603A17DHSGAP is a 97% AFUE modulating natural gas furnace designed for downflow and horizontal installations in residential forced-air heating systems. It delivers 60,000 BTU/h of heating capacity through a modulating heat stage that continuously adjusts output from low fire to 100% capacity, meeting precise load requirements without the temperature swings of single- or two-stage units. An ECM variable-speed blower motor maintains constant CFM, supporting humidity control and quiet operation year-round. This unit is ENERGY STAR certified and EcoNet enabled, making it compatible with smart thermostat and remote monitoring platforms. Licensed HVAC technicians handle installation and commissioning.

The U97MV0603A17DHSGAP is suited for residential applications where high-efficiency, low-noise operation is required. The downflow and horizontal cabinet orientation supports installations in closets, utility rooms, crawlspaces, and attic applications where upflow configurations are not feasible. The integrated 7-Segment LED diagnostic display accelerates service calls by surfacing fault codes directly at the unit. The PlusOne Water Management System includes a patented block drain sensor that automatically shuts off the furnace and triggers a diagnostic alert when the condensate drain is obstructed, reducing the risk of water damage and callback callbacks on high-efficiency installs.

Compatibility

Designed for use with EcoNet-compatible smart thermostats and the EcoNet monitoring platform. Consult the unit installation manual for approved thermostat wiring configurations and EcoNet device compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC contractor in accordance with local mechanical codes and the manufacturer installation instructions. Shut off gas supply and disconnect electrical power before servicing or connecting any wiring. Condensate drainage must be installed per local plumbing code; the block drain sensor requires a properly sloped and unobstructed drain line to function correctly. Combustion air and venting must be sized and routed according to the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54) and applicable local amendments for high-efficiency condensing appliances.
