80,000 BTU Heating Power
The GR9T960803BN delivers 80,000 BTUs of input heating power and 76,800 BTUs of output at 96% efficiency. This makes it a reliable option for medium-sized homes in a variety of climates, ensuring consistent heating performance with reduced energy waste.
High-Efficiency 96% AFUE
With a 96% AFUE rating, this Goodman furnace maximizes fuel use by converting nearly all of the gas consumed into usable heat. Only 4% of the fuel is lost through venting, helping lower monthly heating bills compared to standard furnaces. As a condensing furnace, it requires PVC or plastic venting for exhaust.
Two-Stage Heating with 9-Speed Blower
The two-stage gas valve provides greater comfort by allowing the furnace to operate at a lower output during mild weather and full capacity during colder conditions. Paired with the 9-speed ECM blower motor, this design ensures quiet operation, energy savings, and stable indoor temperatures year-round.
Durability and Reliability
Built with a heavy-gauge steel cabinet and aluminized steel heat exchanger, the GR9T960803BN is designed for long-term durability. The insulated cabinet minimizes sound and heat loss, while the advanced hot surface ignitor increases reliability and efficiency compared to older ignition methods.
Warranty Protection
With online registration and installation that complies with state and local codes, Goodman backs the GR9T960803BN with a 10-year parts warranty and a lifetime heat exchanger warranty, giving you peace of mind for years to come.
Installation and Maintenance
The GR9T960803BN supports both upflow and horizontal installation options, offering flexibility for different home layouts. Color-coded low-voltage terminals simplify wiring and reduce installation time. From the factory, the unit is configured for natural gas, but can be converted to propane with a separately purchased LP conversion kit. For horizontal installations, a drain kit is required; upflow setups do not need the kit.
