FURNACE COMPONENTS

1.Combustion-air intake connection to ensure contaminant- free air (right or left side).

2.Burner sight glass for viewing burner flame.

3.Burner assembly (inside). Operates with energy-saving inshot burners and hot surface igniter for safe, dependable heating.

4.Redundant gas valve. Safe and efficient. Features 1 gas control with 2 internal shutoff valves. Valve appearance varies with furnace model.

5.Vent outlet. Uses PVC pipe to carry flue gas from the furnace’s combustion system (right or left side).

6.Inducer motor. Pulls hot flue gases through the heat exchangers, maintaining negative pressure for added safety.

7.Blower access panel safety interlock switch.

8.Air filter and retainer (location in furnace may vary).

9.Condensate drain connection. Collects moisture condensed from burned gases for disposal into home drain system. (Location in furnace varies.)

10.Heavy-duty blower. Circulates air across the heat exchangers to transfer heat into the home.

11.Secondary condensing heat exchanger (inside). Wrings out more heat through condensation. Constructed with polypropylene-laminated steel to ensure durability.

12.Primary serpentine heat exchanger (inside). Stretches fuel dollars with the S-shaped heat-flow design. Solid construction of corrosion-resistant aluminized steel means reliability.

13.Furnace control board.

14.3-amp fuse provides electrical and component protection.

15.Light emitting diode (LED) on furnace control board. Status code light is for diagnosing furnace operation and service requirements.

16.Pressure switch(es) ensure adequate flow of flue gas through furnace and out vent system.

17.Rollout switch (manual reset) to prevent overtemperature.

18.Junction box for 115-v electrical power supply. (May be located on right or left side)

19.Transformer (24v) behind furnace control board provides low-voltage power to furnace control board and thermostat.

58UVB specifications

The Carrier 58UVB is a high-efficiency gas furnace designed for optimal performance in residential heating applications. This model is part of Carrier's comprehensive lineup, known for its reliability and advanced technology. The 58UVB furnace exemplifies what consumers have come to expect from the Carrier brand in terms of engineering excellence and energy efficiency.

One of the standout features of the Carrier 58UVB is its two-stage heating capability. This technology allows the furnace to operate at a lower capacity during mild heating demands, which provides a more consistent temperature and increases overall energy savings. When colder temperatures require additional heat, the furnace transitions to its higher stage, ensuring that the home remains warm and comfortable regardless of the weather outside.

The 58UVB furnace is equipped with a variable-speed blower motor. This innovative feature enhances overall comfort by adjusting the airflow according to the heating needs in real-time. It operates quietly and efficiently, minimizing energy consumption while distributing heat evenly throughout the home. The soft-start technology also reduces drafts and temperature swings, resulting in a more pleasant indoor environment.

Another important characteristic of the Carrier 58UVB is its ability to integrate with smart home technology. This furnace can be equipped with Carrier's innovative iComfort S30 smart thermostat, allowing homeowners to monitor and control their heating system remotely via a smartphone app. This integration enables users to adjust settings, view energy consumption, and schedule maintenance reminders, enhancing both convenience and efficiency.

In terms of energy efficiency, the Carrier 58UVB boasts an impressive Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of up to 80%. This high rating indicates that a significant portion of the fuel consumed is converted into usable heat, resulting in lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint. The furnace also features an insulated cabinet, which helps maintain efficiency by minimizing heat loss during operation.

Additionally, the 58UVB model comes with advanced safety features, including an integrated control board that helps manage operation and diagnostics. The durable heat exchanger is designed to ensure long-lasting performance and is backed by a robust warranty, further instilling confidence in this top-tier heating solution.

Overall, the Carrier 58UVB gas furnace combines advanced technology, energy efficiency, and user-friendly features, making it an excellent choice for homeowners in need of reliable heating performance.
