Two-stage comfort for small to medium homes — smarter heating at an 80% AFUE price point. The Goodman GR9T800603BN delivers 60,000 BTU of two-stage heating at 80% AFUE in a compact 17.5" upflow cabinet built for basements, closets, and utility rooms. Unlike single-stage furnaces that blast full heat every time they cycle, this unit runs at a lower output on mild days for quieter, more efficient operation — then steps up to full power when the temperature really drops. All the smart comfort benefits of two-stage heating without the cost of a high-efficiency unit.
Why You'll Love It:
- 80% AFUE efficiency — converts 80 cents of every energy dollar into heat, keeping operating costs predictable without overpaying for efficiency ratings designed for larger or colder applications
- 60,000 BTU input / 48,000 BTU output — ideal heating output for small to medium homes without oversizing or wasted capacity
- Two-stage gas valve — runs at lower output on mild days for gentler, quieter cycling and more even room temperatures, then ramps to full power when temperatures really drop — the furnace only kicks into high gear when your home truly needs it
- 9-speed ECM blower motor — precise, quiet airflow that outperforms older PSC motor units, eliminating hot and cold spots throughout your home
- Upflow / horizontal installation — flexible placement in basements, closets, or utility rooms to suit your home's layout
- Compact 17.5" cabinet — fits tight installation spaces while supporting 1-3 ton R-32 cooling systems for a complete, balanced home comfort setup
- Heavy-duty aluminized-steel tubular heat exchanger — engineered for long-lasting durability and efficient heat transfer with wrinkle-bend technology for added dependability
- Silicon nitride igniter — more durable than older hot surface igniters, reducing maintenance calls and replacement costs over the life of the unit
- Self-diagnosing control board — acts like a "check engine light" for your furnace, pinpointing issues fast and cutting service time and costs
- LP convertible — easily field-converted to propane with optional kit, giving you fuel flexibility for your home
- Metal flue venting required — straightforward installation using standard metal duct for safe, code-conforming exhaust
- R-32 compatible — future-ready refrigerant support for pairing with modern R-32 cooling systems
- AHRI Certified and ETL Listed — independently verified for safety and performance
- Made in the USA — designed, engineered, and assembled domestically
⚠️ Metal venting required — this is an 80% AFUE furnace and requires metal flue venting, not PVC.
