Goodman 60,000 BTU 97% AFUE Modulating Variable Speed Gas Furnace Upflow/Horizontal 17.5" Cabinet R-32

The most advanced, most efficient furnace Goodman makes — modulating comfort at 97% AFUE for small to medium homes. The Goodman GRVM970603BN delivers 60,000 BTU of modulating heating at 97% AFUE in a compact 17.5" upflow cabinet. This isn't just two-stage heating — it's true modulating operation, meaning the furnace continuously and precisely adjusts its gas output between 40% and 100% capacity to maintain your exact set temperature with virtually no temperature swings. Run almost silently at minimum output on mild days — and step up incrementally to exactly the output needed when temperatures drop. The pinnacle of Goodman engineering, Energy Star certified, and built for homeowners who accept nothing less than the absolute best.

Why You'll Love It:

• 97% AFUE efficiency — converts 97 cents of every energy dollar into heat, the highest efficiency rating available in the entire Goodman furnace lineup — 1% more efficient than the GRVT96 series which adds up to real long-term savings
• 60,000 BTU input / 58,200 BTU output — ideal heating output for small to medium homes without oversizing or wasted capacity
• Self-calibrating modulating gas valve — unlike two-stage furnaces that only run at 60% or 100%, this valve infinitely adjusts output between 40% and 100% to precisely maintain your exact set temperature with virtually no swings or cycling
• True variable-speed ECM blower — continuously and intelligently ramps airflow up or down to match exact heating demand for whisper-quiet operation and lower electricity costs
• Energy Star certified — independently verified to meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US EPA
• Auto-Comfort mode — automatically optimizes airflow and temperature balance for whole-home comfort without manual adjustments
• Enhanced dehumidification mode — actively manages indoor humidity levels during cooling season for greater year-round comfort
• ComfortBridge™ communicating technology — enables smarter system communication between components for optimized whole-home comfort and efficiency
• CoolCloud™ Bluetooth app — allows contractors to commission, diagnose, and service the unit directly from a smartphone or tablet without removing the cabinet panels
• Upflow / horizontal installation — flexible placement in basements, closets, or utility rooms to suit your home's layout
• Compact 17.5" cabinet — compatible with 1-3 ton R-32 cooling systems for a complete, balanced home comfort setup
• Certified for direct vent (2-pipe) or non-direct vent (1-pipe) — flexible venting configurations for easier installation in a variety of applications
• Left or right gas and electrical connections — convenient field flexibility for faster, easier installation
• 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 sloped secondary heat exchanger — the sloped design improves condensate drainage and heat extraction to achieve the industry-leading 97% AFUE efficiency rating
• Heavy-gauge steel cabinet with less than 2% air leakage — airtight construction minimizes heat loss and reduces sound output for quieter, more economical operation
• 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 and dual 7-segment display — stores fault codes and displays them clearly for fast, accurate troubleshooting
• Compatible with electronic air cleaners and 120V or 24V 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
• Complies with California Low NOx 40 ng/J emissions standard — approved for installation in all US states including California
• R-32 compatible — future-ready refrigerant support for pairing with modern R-32 cooling systems
• AHRI Certified, ETL Listed, and Energy Star Qualified — independently verified for safety, performance, and energy efficiency
• Made in the USA — designed, engineered, and assembled domestically

⚠️ PVC/Plastic venting required — this is a 97% AFUE condensing furnace and cannot use metal flue venting.
