A COMFORTABLE VALUE
When selecting a gas furnace for your home, you are often searching to find the best combination for
an ideal level of home comfort. You want to find a gas furnace that offers exceptional, dependable, and
stable performance for many, many years. Most important, you want the best value possible. Faced with
the decision to find a trustworthy and reliable gas furnace that delivers quiet, energy-saving operation and
outstanding long-term value, the Goodman® brand GMVC8 Variable-Speed Gas Furnace may be your best
option. The gas furnace in your home provides not only heating comfort, but it operates with your central air
conditioner to deliver cool comfort, too. So, your final choice is doubly beneficial. Whether it’s the coldest day
of the year or any day of the year, with the Goodman brand GMVC8 Gas Furnace you’ll be saying, “Thank
goodness for Goodman®”.
ENJOY THE COMFORT
AND EFFICIENCY
As a homeowner, you try to find a balance between
your family’s comfort and your monthly energy costs.
Introducing the Goodman brand GMVC8 Gas Furnace.
It’s one of the most impressive furnaces we make, and
we built it with your comfort in mind.
Goodman brand’s GMVC8 Gas Furnace with twostage heating and a variable- speed circulating blower
provides a total comfort home-heating alternative
– efficiently and economically. This furnace’s variablespeed circulating blower advances home comfort by
reducing temperature swings and air stratification
from floor to ceiling, which reduces operating costs
compared to furnaces without these features. Unlike
non variable-speed furnaces that run “all on” or
“all off”, a Goodman brand variable-speed furnace
typically runs 90% of the time in the low-heat capacity
on most days, but when the weather is very cold,
ramps up to high-heat capacity so that your family
stays warm and snug.
Your Goodman brand furnace uses a multispeed induced draft blower motor and variablespeed circulating blower to reduce the noise levels
common in other furnaces without these features.
Since this unit typically runs in low-heat stage
90% of the time, the impact of the normal high-fire
sound is eliminated up to 90% of the time. Add
to that a fully insulated, heavy-gauge steel cabinet,
and the result is… quiet comfort.
The Goodman brand GMVC8 Gas Furnace
is ComfortNet compatible. Homeowner benefits
of this system include advanced diagnostics,
automatic maintenance alerts, and continuous
monitoring of the system’s performance.
THE HEART OF COMFORT
The award-winning design of the primary heat exchanger in the
Goodman brand GMVC8 is unique. It’s constructed from tubular
aluminized-steel and formed into a dual diameter configuration.
Furthermore, the use of wrinkle-bend technology results in an
extremely durable heat exchanger. A heat exchanger often is
considered the essential component of any gas furnace. This
combination offers one of the best levels of reliability, durability, and
efficiency you’ll find within the Goodman brand.
