The gas furnace of the 16 SEER 3-ton system needs to be able to
handle all of the heating needs of your home efficiently. Therefore, due to the
many features offered by the GMVC8, it proves itself the best choice. Some of
the most notable features include:
-
Heavy-Duty Aluminized-Steel Tubular Heat Exchanger: In order to
produce an efficient and smartly designed heat exchanger for their gas furnace,
Goodman has opted for an aluminized-steel tubular construction with wrinkle
bend technology.
-
Two-Stage Gas Valve: As opposed to a single-stage gas valve, the
two-stage valve attempts to reduce the energy requirements of the gas furnace
during moderate demands to deliver more comfort at a higher efficiency.
-
Self-Diagnostic Control Board: A smart
board within the gas furnace monitors the internals and ensures
efficient operation. Moreover, it allows technicians to quickly troubleshoot
and figure out points of failure.
-
Corrosion-Resistant Vent Variable-Speed Blower: Provides the gas
furnace with the foundation for quiet operation, and efficient start-up and
shutdown cycles.
-
Durable Silicon Nitride Igniter: Acting as the replacement of a
traditional pilot light, the igniter is constructed to meet the goals of
high-durability and advanced efficiency
-
Insulated Furnace Cabinet: In order to keep the heat within the
gas furnace, GoodMan has deployed an insulated furnace cabinet with an air
leakage rate of less than 2%.
Additionally, the cabinet features insulation, which greatly suppresses the
noise produced by the gas furnace during peak operation.
