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.
