This efficiency means that only 4% of the fuel going into the furnace is used up in furnace operations, while 96% of the fuel is used to heat your home. As a condensing furnace, this furnace will need to be vented with plastic or PVC flue venting. If you need to use metal flue venting, you would need an 80% efficient furnace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hvx-section-title\"\u003eTwo Stage 9-Speed Furnace\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"hvx-text\"\u003eWith a two stage burner, the AQ-GR9T960403AN provides two heating outputs: one at a 60% heating output and one at a 100% output.

Both of these built-in upgrades allow for your furnace to adjust the heating output and airflow more precisely to better suit your home's comfort needs and provide a slightly higher efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hvx-section-title\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"hvx-text\"\u003eWith installation that follows your state and local codes and with online registration, all ACiQ furnaces come with a 10-year parts and lifetime heat exchanger warranty through the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hvx-section-title\"\u003eDurability and Reliability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"hvx-text\"\u003eThe exterior casing on the AQ-GR9T960403AN is heavy-gauge steel that is insulated for enhanced protection and to lower air leakage and sound output from normal furnace operation.

The AQ-GR9T960403AN ACiQ furnace can be upflow or horizontal, increasing the number of ways that your installer can install the system. The low-voltage terminals that are color-coded, the installation is faster and easier over standard non-colored systems. Straight from the factory, the AQ-GR9T960403AN comes with natural gas valves. However, increasing its versatility in installation, ACiQ offers an LP conversion kit (found here at an additional cost) if you need it to be propane instead of natural gas. Not only does the ACiQ brand save you money on installation costs, but also with maintenance and warranty work. In the event of a rare warranty issue, the on board self-diagnostic control board alerts you and your serviceman what is wrong with the unit for most basic issues for a faster solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"hvx-text\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlease note that this furnace requires a  if installed horizontally.
