OVERVIEW

If you're looking to reduce your energy bill and improve the comfort of your home, look no further than Goodman's GCEC800403AX. This gas furnace features efficient operation and high-quality construction to provide your home with reliable, affordable heating. The GCEC800403AX single-stage, multi-speed furnace is a great value designed for many applications.

QUICK FACTS

  • This furnace is ideal to heat a smaller house (depending on climate)
  • 40,000 BTU 80% efficient natural gas furnace
  • Requires metal flue venting
  • Can be used in the downflow or horizontal orientation
  • Can be converted to an LP furnace with a conversion kit (sold separately)
  • Innovative design for electrical efficiency, safety, and lower sound output
Low NOx Compliant

In California, many counties have a lower NOx emission requirement than the rest of the United States. The GCEC800403AX Goodman gas furnace is California Low NOx compliant. With a built-in low emission filter, this Goodman gas furnace produces less nitrogen oxides to be released into the atmosphere, lowering the overall amount of toxic greenhouse gases output of the average California home. Please note that this furnace cannot be installed in the following counties in California: Fresno, Joaquin, Kern, Kings, Los Angeles, Madera, Merced, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Stanislaus, and Tulare. In these counties you are required to purchase an Ultra Low NOx furnace. If you have any questions please contact us.

40,000 BTU

The GCEC800403AX Goodman gas furnace is suitable in output for a smaller house in ideal climate conditions. The BTU count is the input per hour of the furnace, and the output is 32,000 BTU's (40,000 x 80% AFUE) per hour.

80% Efficiency Rating

The GCEC800403AX Goodman gas furnace has the basic efficiency rating in furnaces on the market today. At 80% efficient, the furnace loses only 20% of fuel going into it to normal furnace operation, and the remaining 80% is used to heat your house. All 80% furnaces such as this one require metal flue venting, and furnaces that are 90% efficient or higher require plastic/PVC flue venting.

Single Stage Furnace

A single stage furnace operates using the same amount of energy every time is turns on. The GCEC800403AX Goodman gas furnace operates using only one heat output. This furnace will operate at 100% output whenever it is operating.

Natural Gas or LP Furnace

From the factory, the GCEC800403AX runs on natural gas. However all Goodman gas furnaces can be converted to propane using the furnace's corresponding LP conversion kit, an optional accessory at an additional cost that consists of a replacement set of orifices and springs.

Multi-Speed ECM Blower Motor

The GCEC800403AX utilizes a multi-speed ECM motor, which is more efficient than older PSC blower motors, saving you money in electric bills.

Warranty

With installation that follows your state and local codes and with online registration, all Goodman furnaces come with a 10-year parts and lifetime heat exchanger warranty through the manufacturer.

Durable Hot Surface Igniter

Instead of a standing pilot light, the GCEC800403AX has a newer, more efficient hot surface igniter. Hot surface igniters are much more efficient and safer than standard standing pilot lights.

Self-Diagnostic Control Board

The Goodman brand has improved technology from years of production experience, allowing for a long-lasting product that rarely runs into any operation-based problems. However, if the furnace does need maintenance or warranty work, the control board has a set of sensors that will identify any basic problems in the furnace's basic operation.

Heavy Gauge Steel Cabinet

The GCEC800403AX Goodman gas furnace has a durable outer cabinet. The heavy-gauge steel used in the furnace's design allows for a more protected interior, and less air leakage from the furnace's operation, resulting in a more quiet operation while still decreasing operation costs.

Ease of Installation

From enhanced operation to efficiency, the Goodman gas furnaces have a lot to offer. However, Goodman's features don't stop at quality of unit. The GCEC800403AX allows for a significantly more streamlined installation process with its universal design, consisting of its ability to be installed in either downflow or horizontal configurations, lowering labor costs.

Goodman 1.5 to 2.5 Ton Fixed TXV Kit - R-410A

Thermostatic Expansion Valves (TXVs) are:

  • A requirement for 14 SEER or higher split system heat pumps
  • A requirement for many condensers or heat pump systems that use the new R-410A refrigerant
  • An optional upgrade for any other air conditioner or heat pump system

Your system will operate more precisely and with greater efficiency with a TXV. These valves offer more control over how much liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator coil. The valves only allow a precise amount of liquid into the evaporator coil to ensure that all liquid that enters fully evaporates. This prevents too little liquid from entering the evaporator making the system run less efficiently. It also prevents too much liquid from entering the evaporator which can cause excess liquid in the suction line. Thermostatic Expansion Valves can be mounted in any position on the evaporator coil inlet and are reliable, efficient and virtually trouble-free. Select the TXV to correspond with the tonnage of your air conditioner or heat pump, as well as to match the type of refrigerant your systems uses, R-22 (standard) or R-410A (new alternative). 

When using a TXV, manufacturer's recommend also installing a hard-start capacitor in your heat pump or condenser. This capacitor gives an extra "jolt" of electricity upon startup to push the refrigerant against higher head pressures that are present with a TXV system. If a hard-start capacitor isn't installed, the equipment compressor may sometimes have difficulty starting.
