- What does 96% AFUE mean for this furnace?
- It converts about 96% of the gas it burns into heat, so roughly 4% is lost. That puts it among the most efficient gas furnaces and well above standard 80% models.
- Does it work with propane?
- Yes, but only with a conversion kit, which is not included. The furnace ships set up for natural gas.
- What is the difference between input and output BTU?
- Input is the gas energy burned, 140,000 BTU. Output is the heat delivered, 135,000 BTU, after the efficiency loss.
- Can it be installed horizontally or in a downflow position?
- Yes. It is a multiposition furnace, so it can be set up for upflow, downflow or horizontal airflow.
- What kind of venting does a 96% furnace need?
- It is a condensing furnace, so it needs a sealed vent that handles corrosive condensate, plus a drain for the condensate it produces. It cannot use a standard metal flue.
- Is a single-stage furnace a downside?
- It runs at full heat until the call ends, so room temperatures swing a bit more than with a two-stage or modulating furnace. It is simpler and has fewer parts to fail.
