Product Overview

OVERVIEW

With a 97% efficiency rating, a variable-speed blower motor, and modulating gas valves, the GDVM970803BN is part of Goodman's top-tier furnace series. If you're looking to reduce your gas bill, the GDVM970803BN is an excellent choice, offering one of the best efficiency levels available on the market.

QUICK FACTS

  • Ideal to heat a small to medium house (in an ideal climate)
  • 80,000 BTU 97% AFUE modulating variable speed natural gas furnace
  • Requires plastic/PVC flue venting
  • Can be installed in the downflow or horizontal orientation
  • Can be converted to propane with an LP conversion kit (sold separately)
  • Innovative design for electrical efficiency, safety, and lower sound output

80,000 BTU

With an input of 80,000 BTU’s and an efficiency of 97%, the GDVM970803BN has an output of 77,600 BTU’s. This is calculated by taking 80,000 BTU’s times the efficiency of 97%. As such, the GDVM970803BN Goodman gas furnace is designed to be able to cover up to a small to medium house in ideal climate conditions.

97% AFUE

With one of the highest efficiencies possible with today’s technology, Goodman saves you a lot of money in utility bills for the lifetime of the unit. The GDVM970803BN gas furnace is 97% efficient, meaning that a whopping 97% of the gas going into the furnace is used to heat your home, and only 3% of the fuel going into the furnace is lost out of the exhaust. Thanks to its efficiency, the GDVM970803BN is a condensing furnace, meaning that it requires plastic or PVC pipe flue venting.

Modulating Variable Speed Furnace

Goodman manufactured the GDVM970803BN gas furnace to utilize the best burner and blower technologies available. With a modulating gas valve and a variable speed blower motor, the GDVM970803BN gas furnace provides the most stable indoor temperatures and the lowest running times possible. The enhanced comfort and small efficiency increase provided by these features make this furnace a part of Goodman’s top of the line series.

Warranty

The Goodman brand allows you to protect your investment with a 10 year parts and hassle free replacement warranty. To provide a longer peace-of-mind, Goodman now offers a phenomenal lifetime heat exchanger warranty. Please note that all Goodman warranties require installation that follows your state and local codes, and the unit must be registered online post-installation on the manufacturer’s website.

Durability and Reliability

Not stopping at an enhanced functionality, Goodman designed the GDVM970803BN with a thermally insulated, heavy-gauge cabinet, providing enhanced protection and lowers air leakage to less than 2% to maximize heat transfer and efficiency, as well as to lower the sound output from normal operation. Made of silicon nitride, the ignitor on the GDVM970803BN is more durable and efficient than a pilot light. The heat exchanger on this furnace is made of aluminized steel, resulting in a product that balances reliability, durability, and efficiency in one durable cabinet.

Fuel Types

Out of the factory, the GDVM970803BN has a built-in natural gas orifice set. However, an can be purchased as an accessory and field-installed if propane is required for your installation.

Installation and Maintenance

For a furnace of such prestige, the installation and maintenance may seem daunting, however Goodman has made everything easy for you and your contractor, from the beginning and throughout the unit’s life. To allow for installation in more situations, the GDVM970803BN gas furnace can be installed in the downflow or horizontal orientations. The modulating gas valve is self-calibrating, allowing it to automatically configure for each installation. For ease of maintenance, there is an integrated self-diagnostic control board that continuously monitors the system for any possible issues in operation, reliability, and even efficiency, and if there are any issues, there is an easy-to-read display for you and your contractor to quickly identify the problem and solve it faster. Moreover, the GDVM970803BN is ComfortNet communicating system compatible, providing more advanced diagnostics, automated maintenance alerts, and enhancing furnace performance when implemented. All of these features allow you to keep more money in your pocket and provides a peace of mind throughout the life of your unit, all while still providing the best comfort that Goodman has to offer with this top of the line furnace.

Product FAQs

Product FAQs

Helpful answers matched to this product, brand, specs, and configuration.
How can I contact Goodman about product or warranty questions?

Goodman Homeowner Support and Consumer Affairs can be reached at 1-877-254-4729 for product, registration, warranty, and claim-related questions. Have the model number, serial number, installation details, and a clear description of the issue available.

Are labor, freight, and service charges automatically included in Goodman warranty coverage?

Not necessarily. Many Goodman manufacturer limited warranties provide the covered replacement part but exclude labor, freight, and other service-related expenses unless the model certificate specifically states otherwise. Separate Asure extended-service coverage may be available through an authorized dealer for eligible equipment and locations.

Where are the Goodman model and serial numbers located?

Cooling equipment normally lists the model and serial numbers on the outdoor unit rating plate, generally near the refrigerant valves. Furnaces and air handlers normally have a rating plate inside the cabinet, so a licensed dealer should assist with access. Installation paperwork may also include the traveler label from the shipping carton.

Can Goodman equipment purchased online qualify for warranty coverage?

Goodman’s internet-sales policy states that equipment purchased through online or other electronic channels is not offered warranty coverage unless it is installed by a dealer who follows all applicable federal, state, and local codes, policies, licensing, and permitting requirements. Keep installation and permit documentation.

How do I register Goodman equipment?

Goodman equipment can be registered through the manufacturer’s online product-registration system. Registration may be completed by the homeowner or the installing dealer, so confirm who will submit it and retain the confirmation for your records.

Where can I find Goodman specifications, manuals, brochures, and warranty certificates?

Goodman publishes model-specific product specifications, brochures, and warranty certificates in its Literature Library. Use the exact model number because documentation and warranty terms can differ between product families and revisions.

What types of HVAC products does Goodman offer?

Goodman offers residential air conditioners, heat pumps, gas furnaces, packaged systems, air handlers, evaporator coils, temperature controls, indoor air products, and selected ductless equipment. Available capacities, efficiencies, refrigerants, and features vary by model and matched system combination.

Why should Goodman equipment be registered within 60 days?

For many eligible residential Goodman products, registration within 60 days of installation can qualify the original homeowner for enhanced limited-warranty terms. Standard coverage may still apply without registration, but the coverage period and available remedies can be different. Registration rules and exceptions vary by product and jurisdiction.

What information is needed to register a Goodman system?

Be prepared to provide the homeowner’s contact information, installation address, installation date, model and serial numbers, and the installing contractor’s name and phone number. Each system component should be entered accurately so the registered equipment matches the installed system.

Do I have to use the original Goodman installing dealer for warranty service?

No. Goodman states that a homeowner may use another licensed contractor to maintain the system and perform work in accordance with the limited warranty. The contractor should verify coverage and follow Goodman’s warranty and distributor procedures.

What does a Goodman manufacturer limited warranty generally cover?

The applicable Goodman warranty certificate generally covers qualifying defects in materials or workmanship under normal use and maintenance. The remedy is typically based on replacement parts or another model-specific remedy stated in the certificate. Coverage is not the same as a maintenance plan or protection against every system problem.

What should I do if a technician cannot diagnose a Goodman system?

The licensed technician should contact Goodman Technical Support or work through the local Goodman distributor. Goodman does not provide technical troubleshooting directly to unlicensed homeowners because HVAC diagnosis and repair involve regulated electrical, gas, and refrigerant work.

What types of issues are commonly excluded from Goodman limited warranty coverage?

Common exclusions can include faulty installation or application, improper operation or maintenance, incompatible or unauthorized accessories, external damage, inadequate electrical service, routine maintenance, filter or coil cleaning, and other conditions listed in the model-specific warranty certificate. The exact certificate controls.

How can I check the warranty coverage on installed Goodman equipment?

Use Goodman’s online warranty lookup with the equipment model and serial number and the requested homeowner or installation information. The lookup is the best way to confirm the coverage recorded for a specific installed unit.

Does every Goodman product have the same warranty?

No. Goodman limited-warranty coverage varies by model, product category, installation type, registration status, installation date, and location. Some eligible models may include enhanced parts, compressor, heat-exchanger, or unit-replacement coverage. Always review the warranty certificate for the exact model.
