Variable speed technology improves comfort and air quality.
A variable speed motor moves at different speeds to precisely control the flow of air throughout your home. Better airflow control means a better balance of comfort.
When the variable speed motor increases speed, it does so smoothly and gradually. During summer months, this allows your air conditioner to remove moisture from the air for improved comfort and better air quality.
Two levels of heating, a higher level of comfort.
Unlike typical single-stage furnaces, the G61V has two levels of heating. It's like having two furnaces in one:
a small furnace (first stage/low heat) for mild days and a larger furnace (second stage/high heat) for extremely cold days. This minimizes temperature swings within your home.

Compared to an older furnace, the G61V can save you hundreds of dollars each year. The G61 V provides heating efficiencies of up to an impressive 94.6% AFUE. The higher the efficiency rating, the higher your energy savings. In the case of the G61V, those savings can translate to hundreds of dollars each year.
As an added benefit, the G61V's variable speed motor uses about two-thirds less electricity than a standard motor. During cooling operation, this typically results in an efficiency gain of 1 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), which can add to your energy savings.

Exclusive SilentComfort™ technology maximizes your comfort, while minimizing sound. Since the first stage (low heat) meets your household heating demands approximately 80% of the time, the G61V furnace is much quieter than standard, single-stage furnaces. And the variable speed motor ramps up to speed slowly, so there's no sudden blast of air at startup. A specially insulated cabinet further reduces operating sound.
Slow, continuous air circulation creates better indoor air quality.
When you set your thermostat to "FAN," the G61 V continues to slowly circulate air throughout your home. That means you can run the fan constantly without running the risk of increasing operating costs. It also means better indoor air quality—low-speed fan operation increases the effectiveness of your filters, allowing them to capture and remove more contaminants.

| This chart depicts potential energy savings you can expect from the G61V furnace, versus older furnaces with lower efficiency ratings. Criteria used in this example are 2,000 full-load heating hours, with a 60,000 Btuh heating design load and $0.95 ccf for gas. Your actual savings may vary, depending on the weather patterns in your local area, local fuel rates and your individual lifestyle.
