The Direct Comfort by Goodman DC-GCES8 downflow gas furnaces feature a patented aluminized steel tubular heat exchanger and high-efficiency hot surface ignition system. These furnaces are run-tested for heating or combination heating/cooling applications. With a heavy-gauge, reinforced, wrap-around insulated steel cabinet and durable baked enamel finish, these gas heaters can be installed in a utility room, closet, alcove, basement or attic.
FEATURES:
- Distinctive, Heavy-Duty Heat Exchanger Technology – Constructed from tubular aluminized-steel, the primary heat exchanger is designed for outstanding durability and heat transfer. The use of wrinkle bend technology maintains the wall strength of the tubular design and aids in the efficient transfer of heat.
- Multi-Speed ECM Motor Supports Efficiency – A quiet energy efficient blower motor uses the lowest speed it can to help deliver precise temperature control in your home. Lower blower motor speeds require less energy consumption, which can help to lower utility bills, compared to single speed blower motors.
- Energy-Saving, Multi-Speed ECM Circulator Blower Motor – Provides efficient performance.
- Self-Diagnostic Control Board – Silently and consistently monitors the gas furnace to ensure all furnace components are working properly and helps to achieve the energyefficient performance too. Also, allows for quick troubleshooting when gas furnace needs maintenance.
- Insulated Furnace Cabinet – Even the metal walls of this gas furnace support energyefficiency. A fully insulated cabinet helps to keep the heat inside the furnace and has less than a 2% air leakage rate. The insulation also assists with noise suppression when the furnace is operating.
