The Goodman GR9T961205DN is a two-stage, 96% AFUE gas furnace rated at 120,000 BTU input and about 115,200 BTU output, built for upflow or horizontal installation. It steps between 84,000 BTU low fire and full high fire, and its nine-speed ECM blower handles three to five tons of cooling airflow plus continuous circulation. That puts it among the higher-capacity, higher-efficiency units in its class, where rivals often top out at single-stage or two-stage 80% models. It suits large homes and anyone pairing a furnace with a big AC, but it needs proper ductwork and a qualified installer to run well.

Owners and installers rate the GR9T961205DN well overall, with most praise going to its efficiency and steady two-stage heating. Complaints tend to center on installation and setup rather than the furnace itself.
The Goodman GR9T961205DN is a two-stage gas furnace for upflow or horizontal installation. It runs at 84,000 BTU input on low fire and 120,000 BTU on high fire. It starts at the lower stage during lighter demand and uses full output when colder conditions call for it.
It has an aluminized-steel tubular primary heat exchanger and a stainless-steel secondary heat exchanger. The secondary heat exchanger captures heat remaining in the combustion gases before they leave the cabinet. The furnace is rated 96% AFUE. It produces condensate and requires PVC or similar plastic exhaust venting. It supports direct-vent and non-direct-vent configurations.
The nine-speed ECM blower motor offers several airflow settings, including multiple continuous-fan speeds for circulating air between heating or cooling cycles. It supports airflow for compatible cooling equipment from three to five tons. The furnace runs on natural gas and can be converted to propane.
