Goodman 80,000 BTU 96% AFUE Single-Stage Gas Furnace Upflow/Horizontal 21" Cabinet 5-Ton R-32

The highest efficiency single-stage furnace Goodman makes — with the right blower for large 5-ton systems. The Goodman GR9S960805CN delivers 80,000 BTU of single-stage heating at 96% AFUE in a wide 21" upflow cabinet equipped with a high-capacity 5-ton ECM blower rated at 2,000 CFM. The critical difference from the GR9S960804CN? This unit is specifically engineered for the higher airflow demands of 5-ton R-32 cooling systems — making it the correct furnace pairing when your condenser or heat pump is a 5-ton unit. Maximum efficiency, maximum blower capacity, zero compromise.

Why You'll Love It:

• 96% AFUE efficiency — converts 96 cents of every energy dollar into heat, the highest efficiency rating available for a single-stage gas furnace — a significant upgrade over 80% and 92% models
• 80,000 BTU input / 76,800 BTU output — ideal heating capacity for medium to large homes paired with 5-ton cooling systems without oversizing or wasted capacity
• Single-stage operation with 9-speed ECM blower motor — steady, even airflow throughout your home with quieter operation and better humidity control than older PSC motor units
• 5-ton blower sizing at 2,000 CFM — the critical difference from the GR9S960804CN, this unit is specifically engineered to handle the high airflow requirements of 5-ton R-32 cooling systems
• Upflow / horizontal installation — flexible placement in basements, closets, or utility rooms with left or right gas and electrical connections for added installation flexibility
• Wide 21" cabinet — the right cabinet size for 2-5 ton R-32 cooling systems — if your system is a 5-ton condenser or heat pump, this is the furnace you need
• Heavy-duty aluminized-steel tubular primary heat exchanger — engineered for long-lasting durability and efficient heat transfer with wrinkle-bend technology for added dependability
• Stainless steel secondary heat exchanger — extracts additional heat from exhaust gases to achieve the industry-leading 96% AFUE efficiency rating
• Foil-faced insulated heat exchanger cabinet — minimizes heat loss during operation, keeps cabinet air leakage at 2% or less for quieter, more economical performance
• 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 with constant memory — stores the last fault codes so your technician can diagnose issues fast, cutting service time and costs
• Certified for direct vent (2-pipe) or non-direct vent (1-pipe) — flexible venting configurations for easier installation in a variety of applications
• Compatible with electronic air cleaners and humidifiers — wire directly to the low-voltage terminals on the control board for seamless indoor air quality integration
• LP convertible — easily field-converted to propane with optional kit, giving you fuel flexibility for your home
• PVC/plastic venting required — high-efficiency condensing operation requires plastic vent pipe, not metal
• Low NOx emissions — meets air quality requirements for nationwide installation
• 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

⚠️ PVC/Plastic venting required — this is a 96% AFUE condensing furnace and cannot use metal flue venting.

⚠️ Horizontal installation note — a drain kit is required if installed horizontally.

⚠️ Not sure which 21" model you need? If your cooling system is 2-4 tons, see the GR9S960804CN. This unit — the GR9S960805CN — is specifically for homes with 5-ton cooling systems.
