The Goodman GDVM970603BN delivers 60,000 BTU of modulating heating at 97% AFUE in a compact 17.5\" downflow cabinet purpose-built for closet, alcove, and attic installations. Unlike single-stage gas furnaces that operate \"all on\" or \"all off,\" this modulating furnace typically runs at the lowest possible speed to precisely maintain a constant, steady temperature in your home — automatically optimizing its heating output to maximize indoor comfort and lower energy costs. Every advanced feature Goodman offers — ComfortBridge™, CoolCloud™, Auto-Comfort, enhanced dehumidification, and Energy Star certification — in a downflow package built for the tightest spaces. The most efficient, most intelligent downflow furnace at this BTU range Goodman makes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal
