Evolution® 96% AFUE, Two Stage, Variable-Speed, Gas Furnace (FER), 115/1
The 986TC Multipoise Communicating, Variable-Speed Condensing Gas Furnace features the two-stage Evolution® System. The Perfect Heat Technology® two-stage gas system is at the heart of the comfort provided by this furnace, along with the Evolution variable-speed constant airflow ECM blower motor, and two-speed inducer motor. With an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) of up to 96.7%, the Evolution two-stage gas furnace provides exceptional savings when compared to a standard furnace. This Evolution Gas Furnace also features 4-way multipoise installation flexibility, and is available in five model sizes. The 986TC can be vented for direct vent/two-pipe, ventilated combustion air, or single-pipe applications. A Bryant Connex™ and Evolution Air Conditioner or Heat Pump can be used to form a complete Evolution System. Low NOx units are designed for California installations and meet 40 ng/J NOx emissions. Can be installed in air quality management districts with a 40 ng/J NOx emissions requirement. All sizes are design certified in Canada.
