ENJOY THE COMFORT AND EFFICIENCY
Goodman’s GME8 Energy-Efficient Gas Furnace with two-stage heating and a circulating blower provides efficient and economical performance. Unlike single-stage gas furnaces that operate ‘all on’ or ‘all off,’ a Goodman brand variable-speed gas furnace typically runs up to 90% of the time in the low-speed capacity on most days. But when the temperature outside is frightfully cold, this furnace quietly ramps up to high-speed capacity to deliver all the warm, comfortable heat your home needs.
When operating at low-speed levels, your Goodman gas furnace consumes less energy to keep your home comfortable. In addition, the 80% AFUE rating on this gas furnace means that 80 cents of every $1.00 of heating energy expense warms your home. Some older central heating systems are rated at 60% AFUE. The Department of Energy (DOE) established the AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) system to calculate the annual operating cost of residential gas furnace.
