The Goodman GMVM96 is a two-stage, variable-speed gas furnace with a 96% AFUE rating and 40,000 BTU input. It uses a stainless steel primary heat exchanger and a secondary condensing exchanger to reach its efficiency, and its variable-speed blower runs at lower speeds for longer to keep airflow gentle and quiet. It suits homeowners replacing an older furnace in a cold climate who want lower heating bills and steadier comfort, and it competes with premium two-stage furnaces from Carrier, Trane and Lennox on features at a lower installed cost. Owners and technicians praise its simple build and easy service access, but some note the variable-speed control board is the part most likely to need repair.

Owners and HVAC technicians generally rate the GMVM96 well for quiet operation and even heat, and many report lower gas bills after upgrading from an 80% furnace. The most common complaints center on the variable-speed control board failing and on condensate drain issues when installation is rushed.
This Goodman gas furnace (model GDVT960403BN) has a 96% AFUE efficiency rating, a two-stage gas valve and a variable-speed blower motor. It has an input of 40,000 BTU and an output of 38,440 BTU. It is designed to heat a small to medium house in ideal climate conditions.
At 96% efficiency, it is a condensing furnace, so it requires plastic or PVC flue venting. It can be installed in a downflow or horizontal orientation. It runs on natural gas and can be converted to propane with an LP conversion kit, which is sold separately.
The two-stage gas valve and variable-speed blower are meant to keep indoor temperatures stable and shorten running times. The design also aims to improve electrical efficiency and safety and to lower sound output.
