Innovative Uses

variable speed technology to improve comfort and indoor air quality

A variable speed motor moves at different speeds to precisely control the flow of air throughout your home. Better airflow control means a better balance of comfort.

When the variable speed motor increases speed, it does so smoothly and gradually. During summer months, this allows your air conditioner to remove moisture from the air for improved comfort and better indoor air quality.

Power savings

Variable Speed Motor

Conventional Motor

The G60V’s variable speed motor uses about two-thirds less electricity than a conventional motor, which adds to your overall energy savings.

Comfortable

Provides two levels of heating for a higher level of comfort

Unlike typical single-stage furnaces, the G60V has two levels of heating. It’s like having two furnaces in one: a small furnace (first stage/low heat) for mild days and a larger furnace (second stage/high heat) for extremely cold days. This minimizes temperature swings within your home.

Efficient Delivers

significant energy savings all year

The G60V has a heating efficiency of 80% AFUE. Compared to an older furnace, the G60V can dramatically reduce your utility bills.

As an added benefit, the G60V’s variable speed motor uses about two-thirds less electricity than a standard motor. During cooling operation, this typically results in an efficiency gain of 1 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), which can add to your energy savings.

This chart depicts potential energy savings you can expect from the G60V furnace, versus older furnaces with lower efficiency ratings. Criteria used in this example are 2,000 full-load heating hours, with a 60,000 Btuh heating design load and $1.074 ccf for gas. Your actual savings may vary, depending on the weather patterns in your local area, local fuel rates and your individual lifestyle.
