WELCOME TO A NEW GENERATION OF COMFORT

Congratulations! In light of rising energy costs, the Plus 90TM, 340MAV, Plus90t™ and Plus 90i TM Multipoise, Gas-Fired, Condensing Furnaces are among the soundest investments today’s homeowner can make.

Your new furnace is truly a triumph of technology in home heating. A revolutionary design employs 2 heat exchangers to “squeeze” out the maxi- mum amount of heat from the fuel con- sumed. In fact, your new furnace is so efficient, over 90%* of the heat gener- ated during combustion is captured and delivered inside your home. That is more than a 33%* increase in heating efficiency over conventional furnaces.

These are among the most energy-effi- cient furnaces you can buy today. They also are among the safest and most dependable. We are proud of the tech- nological advances incorporated into the design of these furnaces. With only minimal care, your new furnace will deliver many years of money-saving home comfort and enjoyment. Spend just a few minutes with this manual to learn the operation of your new fur- nace and the small amount of mainte- nance it takes to help keep it operating at peak efficiency year after year.

*The output capacity and any representations of efficiency for this furnace are based on standard U.S. Department of Energy test procedures.

340MAV specifications

The Bryant 340MAV is a standout model in the Bryant lineup, designed to provide exceptional comfort, efficiency, and performance for residential heating and cooling needs. This unit offers a perfect blend of innovative technology and user-friendly features, making it an ideal choice for homeowners seeking reliability and quality.

One of the defining characteristics of the Bryant 340MAV is its impressive efficiency rating. With a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) of up to 18, this model ensures that homeowners can enjoy effective cooling during the summer months while minimizing energy consumption. Similarly, the heating efficiency is notable, with a high AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating. This makes the 340MAV an environmentally friendly option that also promotes cost savings on energy bills.

The 340MAV incorporates advanced technologies that enhance its performance. One such technology is the variable-speed compressor, which allows the system to adjust its output based on the demands of the home. This means that the unit operates more quietly and reduces energy usage by matching the cooling or heating output required. Additionally, the two-stage heating capability provides more consistent temperatures and improved comfort throughout the space.

Operating noise is a crucial factor in residential HVAC systems, and the Bryant 340MAV is designed with this in mind. Engineered for quiet operation, the unit features a sound-dampening design, including an insulated cabinet and a specially designed compressor that minimizes noise levels. Homeowners can enjoy a comfortable indoor climate without the disruptive racket often associated with traditional systems.

Furthermore, the Bryant 340MAV is equipped with a durable all-aluminum coil, which improves heat transfer efficiency while also being resistant to corrosion. This characteristic contributes to the longevity of the unit, ensuring that it can withstand various environmental factors without compromising performance.

Another key feature is the advanced control options that the Bryant 340MAV offers. Integration with smart thermostats allows homeowners to monitor and adjust their HVAC system remotely, ensuring optimal comfort at all times. Additionally, the system is compatible with Bryant's Perfect Airâ„¢ filtration system, enhancing indoor air quality by reducing pollutants and allergens.

In summary, the Bryant 340MAV is a high-efficiency heating and cooling solution that brings together cutting-edge technology, quiet operation, and user-friendly features. With its focus on comfort and energy savings, it stands out as a prime choice for homeowners looking to invest in a reliable HVAC system.
