2.5 Ton 14.5 SEER2 96% AFUE 60,000 BTU Goodman Gas Furnace and Heat Pump System - Downflow

Overview

An AC or heat pump system is only as good as its evaporator coil. The Goodman CAPTA evaporator coils are designed with this simple thought in mind for its longevity, accessibility, and value as their other heating and cooling equipment. The advanced design and all-aluminum constriction of this coil improves its durability and heat transfer efficiency. The CAPT is a cased A-Coil for use in Upflow/Downflow applications. These units include an internal TXV (thermostatic expansion valve), which is perfect for high-performance systems. Goodman pressure tests each coil twice prior to it leaving the factory. Whether you are replacing an old failing coil or installing a new system, you can choose Goodman's CAPTA units with confidence.

Features

• All-Aluminum Coil: The design of Goodman's evaporator coils maximizes surface area and optimizes heat transfer for efficient comfort. Using a reliable all-aluminum design using sine fins and grooved tubes.
• Internal Thermostatic Expansion Valve: Goodman's CAPTA units have a factory-installed internal thermostatic expansion valve, which streamlines installation and maintains ideal refrigerant flow for your system.
• Secure Cabinet: Providing superior longevity and efficiency, CAPTA units have a galvanized, embossed, and insulated cabinet that protects the coil and prevents air leakage.
• Condensate Management: Keeping your system sage and operational, the CAPTA units feature a foil-faced insulation to inhibit the formation of condensate and a rust-resistant, DecaBDE-free thermoplastic drain pan secondary drain connections. The drain pan is UV-resistant.
• Refrigerant Compatibility: The CAPTA is only compatible with R-410A refrigerant.
• Extended Warranty: 10-year limited warranty

OVERVIEW

The Goodman brand consistently brings efficiency and other cost-saving benefits and technology to their furnace. The GC9C960603BN gas furnace is no exception to Goodman’s ingenuity in design, bringing you comfort at a high efficiency for any downflow or horizontal application.

QUICK FACTS

• This furnace is ideal to heat a medium-sized house (depending on climate)
• 60,000 BTU 96% AFUE natural gas furnace
• Requires plastic/PVC flue venting
• Can be used in the downflow or horizontal orientation
• Can be converted to an LP furnace with an optional conversion kit (sold separately)
• Innovative design for electrical efficiency, safety, and lower sound output

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.
