Goodman 60,000 BTU 96% AFUE Downflow/Horizontal Gas Furnace

High-Efficiency Gas Heating with Dependable Comfort

When winter temperatures arrive, this Goodman gas furnace delivers dependable whole-home heating with practical efficiency and durable performance. Designed with modern blower and reliable gas burner technology, as well as installation options for compatible applications, it provides a strong heating solution for residential use.

Key Benefits

  • 60,000 BTU Heating Capacity – Perfect for 1,300–1,600 sq. ft. homes in various climates when properly sized and installed.
  • 96% AFUE Efficiency – Converts approximately 96% of fuel consumed into usable heat for your home.
  • 9-Speed ECM Blower Motor – Uses less electricity than older PSC motors while supporting improved airflow and circulation.
  • Downflow/Horizontal Installation – Designed for downflow/horizontal applications to fit compatible installation layouts.
  • 17.5" Cabinet Width – Designed to fit evaporator coils of a matching width.
  • Convertible to Liquid Propane – Can be field-converted to use liquid propane with an optional conversion kit.
  • Quiet, Durable Operation – Heavy-gauge steel cabinet and insulated design help reduce sound while protecting internal components.
  • Strong Warranty Coverage – Backed by Goodman limited warranty coverage when properly installed and registered online.

Heating Capacity and AFUE Guidance

This furnace is perfect for 1,300–1,600 sq. ft. homes in various climates when properly sized and installed. With a 60,000 BTU input rating and 96% AFUE efficiency, it is designed to provide dependable heating for compatible residential applications. Proper furnace sizing should always be confirmed through a professional load calculation based on climate, insulation, windows, ceiling height, layout, air leakage, and other home-specific factors.

Efficient Everyday Heating Performance

A 96% AFUE furnace provides high-efficiency gas heating performance by converting approximately 96% of fuel consumed into usable heat for your home. For example, a 60,000 BTU input rating at 96% AFUE provides approximately 57,600 BTUs of usable heating output. Because this is a 96% AFUE furnace, it uses PVC venting instead of the metal flue venting required for 80% AFUE furnaces.

Advanced Airflow with a 9-Speed ECM Blower

The integrated 9-speed ECM blower motor provides improved electrical efficiency compared to older PSC blower designs. This blower helps support consistent air circulation throughout the home while reducing electrical consumption during operation.

Built for Long-Term Reliability

A heavy-gauge steel cabinet, durable hot surface igniter, self-diagnostic control board, and Goodman’s proven heat exchanger design work together to support long-term performance. The self-diagnostic controls simplify troubleshooting and service, while the insulated cabinet helps reduce operating noise.


Goodman Gas Furnace System: How Does it Work?

Goodman Gas furnaces provide dependable whole-home heating by using a controlled combustion process to create warm air and distribute it through the home’s ductwork.

Key components such as the burner, heat exchanger, blower motor, and venting system work together to deliver consistent comfort while helping maintain safe and efficient operation.

Understanding how these parts function together can make it easier to compare furnace options and choose a system that fits the home’s heating needs.

When installed according to applicable codes and registered online with Goodman, this furnace includes:

  • 10-Year Parts Limited Warranty
  • Lifetime Heat Exchanger Limited Warranty

Warranty coverage requires proper installation and online registration. Installation by a qualified HVAC professional is recommended to maintain warranty eligibility.

    The concerns the maker, not HVACDirect. Goodman's warranty has an absolute arbitration clause, clue #1 CYA and they would not their mistake with the homeowner direct. They will talk to your professional installer OR who sold the unit. Problem: The spy hole in the bottom panel is in the wrong place - Error codes are NOT visible unless the cover is removed, which the interlock switch prevents the unit from operating. The circuit bd placement or assembly error is not something the homeowner needs to spend $$ correcting. I have no respect for Goodman, and the 1 stars reflect upon them. Is it just my unit? That's why a class action would help but it is not legally allowed.
