60,000 BTU

Heating up to a medium-sized house in average environmental conditions, the GCEC960603BN Goodman furnace has an input of 60,000 BTU’s and an output of 57,600 BTU’s (input X efficiency rating = output).

96% AFUE

The GC9C960603BN gas furnace is 96% efficient. This efficiency means that 4% of the fuel going into the furnace is lost out of the flue venting, while 96% of the fuel is actually used to heat your home. As a condensing furnace, this furnace will need to be vented with plastic or PVC flue venting. If you are looking for a furnace that requires metal flue venting, you would need an 80% efficient furnace.

With a two stage burner, the GC9C960603BN provides two heating outputs: one at a 60% heating output for warmer days and one at a 100% output for when you need the furnace most. The furnace also has a 9 speed ECM motor instead of an inefficient PSC motor. Both of these upgrades provide a better efficiency with a more stable output to better heat your home through all seasons of use.

With installation that follows your state and local codes, the GC9C960603BN gas furnace comes with a 10-year parts and lifetime heat exchanger warranty when registered online through Goodman.

The outer casing on the GC9C960603BN gas furnace is heavy-gauge steel with enhanced insulated for better protection and lower air leakage and sound output, providing more comfort to your home. The new hot surface ignitor replaces the standing pilot light for a more efficient startup.

The cost-saving benefits of the Goodman brand doesn’t stop at efficiency. The GC9C960603BN Goodman furnace can be installed in either the downflow or horizontal orientation, making this furnace an ideal choice for multiple installation applications. Naturally, the GCEC960603BN comes with natural gas valves built in. However, increasing its installation potential, the GC9C960603BN can be field converted with the LP conversion kit (found here, for an extra fee) if you need it to be propane. Not only does the Goodman brand save you money on installation costs, but also with maintenance and warranty work. In the event of a rare warranty issue, the self-diagnostic control board alerts you and your serviceman what is wrong with the unit for most basic issues for a faster solution to almost any problem.
