The AQ-GD9S960403BN ACiQ gas furnace has a 96% efficiency rating. This means that only 4% of the fuel going into the furnace is used up in normal furnace operations and not used to heat your home. The remaining 96% of the inputted fuel is used to heat your home. 96% efficient furnaces is one of the highest efficiencies of natural gas furnaces available for purchase with today's technology. Please note that 96% efficient furnaces such as this one require plastic/PVC flue venting, and 80% efficient furnaces require metal flue venting.
Single Stage Furnace
A single stage furnace operates using the same amount of energy every time is turns on. The AQ-GD9S960403BN ACiQ gas furnace operates using only one heat output. This furnace will operate at 100% output whenever it is operating.
Natural Gas or LP Furnace
From the factory, the AQ-GD9S960403BN runs on natural gas. However all ACiQ gas furnaces can be converted to propane using the furnace's corresponding LP conversion kit, an optional accessory at an additional cost that consists of a replacement set of orifices and springs.
9-Speed ECM Blower Motor
The AQ-GD9S960403BN utilizes a 9-speed ECM motor, which is more efficient than older PSC blower motors, saving you money in electric bills.
Warranty
With installation that follows your state and local codes and with online registration, all ACiQ furnaces come with a 10-year parts and lifetime heat exchanger warranty through the manufacturer.
Durable Hot Surface Ignitor
Instead of a standing pilot light, the AQ-GD9S960403BN has a newer, more efficient hot surface ignitor. Hot surface ignitors are much more efficient and safer than standard standing pilot lights.
Self-Diagnostic Control Board
The ACiQ brand has improved technology from years of production experience, allowing for a long-lasting product that rarely runs into any operation-based problems. However, if the furnace does need maintenance or warranty work, the control board has a set of sensors that will identify any basic problems in the furnace's basic operation.
Heavy Gauge Steel Cabinet
The AQ-GD9S960403BN ACiQ gas furnace has a durable outer cabinet. The heavy-gauge steel used in the furnace's design allows for a more protected interior, and less air leakage from the furnace's operation, resulting in a more quiet operation while still decreasing operation costs.
Ease of Installation
From enhanced operation to efficiency, the ACiQ gas furnaces have a lot to offer. However, ACiQ's features don't stop at quality of unit. The AQ-GD9S960403BN allows for a significantly more streamlined installation process with its universal design, consisting of its ability to be installed in either downflow or horizontal configurations, lowering labor costs.
