Key Features

Why this furnace works

80% AFUE Heating Efficiency

80% of the natural gas you burn becomes usable heat. 80% AFUE meets federal minimum efficiency for residential gas furnaces — the baseline for reliable, cost-effective home heating.

Aluminized Steel Heat Exchanger

The heat exchanger is where combustion heat transfers to your airflow — it's also the single biggest factor in furnace longevity. Aluminized steel resists corrosion and thermal fatigue over long service life. Built to outlast the rest.

3/4 HP Multi-Speed ECM Blower

A 3/4 HP multi-speed ECM blower pushes conditioned air through your ductwork in both heating and cooling modes. Your contractor dials in the right blower speed for your home's airflow at install time.

Upflow or Horizontal Installation

Install upflow (cool air enters bottom, warm air exits top) or horizontal (air moves sideways). Fits utility rooms, closets, or attics depending on your ductwork layout. Flexible.

Electronic Ignition

No standing pilot light. No gas waste during idle periods. Reliable lightoff every cycle, and no manual relighting after power outages or vacation shutoffs.

Backed by Ace Air

10-Year Parts Limited Warranty and Lifetime Heat Exchanger Limited Warranty when registered within 60 days of installation by a licensed HVAC pro. Simple, documented, backed.

The GR9S80 single-stage gas furnace produces 60,000 BTU of heating output at 80% AFUE efficiency. The aluminized-steel dual-diameter tubular heat exchanger and hot-surface igniter provide reliable ignition, and the multi-speed ECM blower motor delivers quiet, efficient air circulation in upflow, downflow, or horizontal installations. AHRI Certified and ETL Listed; backed by a 99-year heat exchanger limited warranty with product registration.

  • Heavy-duty aluminized-steel heat exchanger — dual-diameter tubular design rated for long service life.
  • Single-stage gas valve — reliable on/off heating control with a durable hot-surface igniter.
  • Multi-speed ECM blower motor — energy-efficient circulation with multiple airflow taps for system matching.
  • Quiet, single-speed draft inducer — consistent venting performance with reduced operating noise.
  • Self-diagnostic control board — stores fault history for easier troubleshooting during service.
  • Color-coded low-voltage terminals — simplifies thermostat wiring during installation.
  • Multi-position installation — supports upflow and horizontal configurations.
  • Provisions for accessories — compatible with electronic air cleaners and humidifiers.
  • 99-year heat exchanger limited warranty — with product registration within 60 days of installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does AFUE mean?
AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) measures how much of the gas your furnace burns actually becomes usable heat. An 80% AFUE rating means 80 cents of every fuel dollar heats your home — the rest exits through the flue. 80% AFUE is the federal baseline for residential gas furnaces.
Is 80% AFUE efficient enough?
For mild-to-moderate winters, yes — 80% is the standard baseline. In colder climates or if heating bills matter a lot, 90–97% AFUE furnaces cost more upfront but burn less fuel over time. The right choice comes down to your climate, fuel prices, install cost, and how long you'll own the home.
What size home does a 60,000 BTU furnace heat?
A 60,000 BTU/h input furnace (about 48,000 BTU/h output at 80% AFUE) typically handles homes in the 1,200–2,000 sq. ft. range. Climate zone, insulation, windows, and home orientation all change the math — a professional Manual J load calculation is the most accurate way to size for your home.
What does "Upflow / Horizontal" mean?
Two install positions. Upflow — furnace stands vertical, cool return air enters the bottom, warm supply air exits the top. Typical in basements and utility rooms. Horizontal — furnace lays on its side, air moves sideways. Common in attics and crawlspaces. Your contractor picks the orientation for your ductwork and install space.
Why does this gas furnace mention "R-32"?
This is a gas furnace — no refrigerant inside. The "R-32" label means the furnace is engineered to sit beneath an R-32 AC coil or heat pump coil, with the airflow and A2L safety compliance today's R-32 systems require. If you're replacing an older furnace paired with an R-410A coil, upgrading just one side of the system may push you to upgrade the other.
How do I know if this cabinet size fits my home?
Cabinet widths: A = 14", B = 17-1/2", C = 21", D = 24-1/2". The AAD-GR9S800604BNA is a Cabinet B (17-1/2" wide). The coil or air handler on top needs to match — a mismatch means transition pieces or a new coil. Replacing an existing furnace? Matching the cabinet letter is usually the simplest path.
Can this furnace run on LP / propane?
This specific model is configured for Natural Gas. Some gas furnaces can be field-converted to LP with a conversion kit — it depends on the model and burner configuration. Check the installation manual or ask your HVAC contractor before attempting any fuel conversion. Not a DIY job. Improper conversion can be dangerous.
What maintenance does a gas furnace need?
Change the air filter every 1–3 months during heating season. Get a licensed tech out annually before winter for burner cleaning, heat exchanger crack check, combustion venting verification, and ignition system test. Regular maintenance keeps it efficient, extends service life, and catches safety issues early — especially carbon monoxide risks.
How do I register for the warranty?
Register at Ace Air's warranty page within 60 days of installation. You need: model number (AAD-GR9S800604BNA), serial number (from the data plate), install date, and installing contractor info. Miss the 60-day window and you drop to the shorter base warranty.
