Notes

•CFM in chart is without filter(s). Filters do not ship with this furnace, but must be provided by the installer. If the furnace requires two return filters, this chart assumes both filters are installed.

•All furnaces ship as high-speed cooling and medium-speed heating. Installer must adjust blower cooling and heating speed as needed.

•For most jobs, about 375 - 400 CFM per ton when cooling is desirable.

•INSTALLATION IS TO BE ADJUSTED TO OBTAIN TEMPERATURE RISE WITHIN THE RANGE SPECIFIED ON THE RATING PLATE.

•This chart is for information only. For satisfactory operation, external static pressure should not exceed value shown on the rating plate.

•The above chart is for U.S. furnaces installed at 0-2000 feet. At higher altitudes, a properly derated unit will have approximately the same temperature rise at a particular CFM, while ESP at the CFM will be lower.

•Factory Motor Speed Setting: T1 = 1st Stage Ht, T2 = 2nd Stage Ht, T5 = Cooling

•Tempertaure rise data is based on 2nd-stage heat. First-stage heat is 75% of rise indicated above.

SS-GME8 specifications

Goodman Manufacturing has long been recognized as a leader in heating and cooling solutions, and the Goodman SS-GME8 series of gas furnaces showcases their commitment to quality and efficiency. This robust and reliable gas furnace is an excellent choice for homeowners seeking to enhance their heating performance while minimizing energy costs.

One of the standout features of the SS-GME8 is its impressive efficiency rating. With an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) of up to 80%, this furnace is designed to convert a significant portion of the fuel it consumes into usable heat. This higher efficiency translates to lower energy bills, making it a cost-effective option for homeowners.

The SS-GME8 is equipped with a multi-speed blower motor, which plays a crucial role in optimizing the comfort of your home. The multi-speed blower allows the furnace to operate at various speeds, ensuring that air is distributed evenly throughout the living space. This results in consistent temperatures, reducing hot and cold spots within the home.

Another key technology featured in the SS-GME8 is its durable heat exchanger. Goodman uses a tubular heat exchanger design, which is built to withstand high temperatures and improve overall durability. This robust construction not only enhances the longevity of the furnace but also helps ensure that it delivers reliable performance year after year.

Installation and maintenance are made simpler with the SS-GME8. The unit comes equipped with a self-diagnostic control board that aids in troubleshooting and simplifies maintenance checks. Additionally, Goodman furnaces are designed with accessibility in mind, allowing for easier service when needed.

The SS-GME8 also prioritizes safety, featuring integrated safety controls to monitor the operation and immediately shut down the furnace in the event of any issues. This peace of mind is an indispensable factor for homeowners.

In conclusion, the Goodman SS-GME8 gas furnace stands out for its efficient performance, durable construction, and user-friendly features. With its multi-speed blower for enhanced comfort, high AFUE ratings to lower energy consumption, and robust safety measures, this furnace is an appealing option for anyone looking to invest in a reliable heating solution. Whether you're replacing an old unit or installing a new system, the SS-GME8 offers an impressive blend of technology and effectiveness that ensures your home stays warm and comfortable throughout winter months.
