Energy Efficiency (AFUE): 96

AFUE Stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. The AFUE number represents how efficiently a furnace converts fuel to energy. The higher the AFUE percentage, the more energy-efficient or fuel-efficient the furnace. The U.S. government’s established minimum AFUE rating for a furnace is 78 percent.

• Efficiency rating of 96% AFUE—can save you hundreds of dollars each year*, compared to standard furnaces
• ENERGY STAR® qualified—meets or exceeds EPA guidelines for energy efficiency
• Dual-fuel capability—can be combined with an electric heat pump to enhance comfort and fuel efficiency by alternating between electric and gas heat, optimizing energy use and minimizing heating costs
• Variable speed blower motor—provides a quiet, consistent flow of air for enhanced comfort, efficiency and humidity control
• Robust stainless steel secondary heat exchanger—allows the furnace to achieve high efficiency levels by capturing additional heat
• iComfort®-enabled technology—allows the furnace, when installed with the easy-to-use programmable iComfort Wi-Fi® thermostat, to exchange information and make adjustments as needed to optimize performance**
