With a 2.5-ton air conditioner paired to a high-efficiency gas furnace, this upflow configuration fits many mid-sized homes and delivers solid performance across seasonal changes while helping to curb energy costs.
Why this system stands out
- Efficient cooling with 13.8 SEER2: Modern SEER2 efficiency translates to lower electricity consumption during hot summers, which can mean noticeable savings on monthly cooling bills without sacrificing comfort.
- Eco-friendly refrigerant with R32: The outdoor condenser uses R32, a lower global warming potential refrigerant than older options, contributing to a smaller environmental footprint and simpler, future-friendly service requirements.
- High-efficiency furnace at 96% AFUE: A furnace that converts the majority of fuel into usable heat, delivering reliable warmth with minimal fuel waste during cold snaps and helping you stay cozy on leaner fuel-cost days.
- Upflow design for versatile installs: Engineered for basements or utility spaces where air is drawn from below and distributed upward through the ductwork, making retrofit and new installations more straightforward in those layouts.
- Balanced heating and cooling for mid-sized homes: The 2.5-ton capacity is well-suited for average single-family homes in temperate to moderately hot climates, delivering steady comfort across living spaces without overworking equipment.
- Integrated system simplicity: By pairing a matched outdoor condenser with a compatible indoor furnace, the setup minimizes mismatched components and reduces installation time, service calls, and long-term maintenance headaches.
- Quiet, dependable operation: Thoughtful design and precise control help keep noise levels lower during cooling cycles and heating, supporting a more comfortable living environment.
