80,000 BTU Heating Power
The GR9T960804CN delivers 80,000 BTUs of input and 76,800 BTUs of output at 96% efficiency. It’s ideal for medium-sized homes, providing consistent warmth while minimizing fuel waste and energy costs.
High-Efficiency 96% AFUE
With a 96% AFUE rating, this Goodman gas furnace converts nearly all the fuel it consumes into usable heat. Only 4% escapes through exhaust, helping reduce heating expenses and supporting energy-efficient home upgrades. As a condensing furnace, it requires PVC or plastic flue venting for proper exhaust.
Two-Stage Heating with 9-Speed Blower
The two-stage gas valve allows the furnace to operate at a lower setting during mild weather and ramp up to full capacity in colder conditions. Combined with the 9-speed ECM blower motor, this system maintains quiet performance, steady temperatures, and improved efficiency year-round.
Durability and Reliability
Constructed with a heavy-gauge insulated steel cabinet and a durable aluminized steel heat exchanger, the GR9T960804CN is built for longevity. The hot surface ignitor ensures consistent starts, while insulation reduces both heat loss and noise for greater home comfort.
Warranty Protection
Backed by Goodman’s industry-leading warranty coverage, this model includes a 10-year parts warranty and a lifetime heat exchanger warranty when registered online after professional installation. This provides long-term peace of mind and reliable heating performance.
Installation and Maintenance
The Goodman GR9T960804CN supports upflow and horizontal installations, making it flexible for basements, attics, or utility spaces. It ships ready for natural gas but can be converted to propane with an optional LP conversion kit. Color-coded low-voltage terminals simplify wiring, and the self-diagnostic control board streamlines maintenance. A drain kit is required for horizontal installations, while upflow configurations do not require one.
