Features
- Advanced Heat Exchanger Design
- The GMVC96 furnace employs a reliable dual-diameter tubular heat exchanger design. Aluminized steel is used for incredibly efficient heat transfer, and a wrinkle-bend is applied to the tubes to enhance the heat exchanger's dependability and longevity.
- Secondary Heat Exchanger
- This furnace produces additional heat by directing combustion gases through a secondary heat exchanger before they are vented. The secondary heat exchanger is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and it is sloped to prevent condensate build-up.
- Quiet Comfort
- The blower and gas valve of the GMVC960403BN were selected for their incredibly low sound levels. Additionally, this unit offers an airflow system and fan speed options that allow it to operate quietly while providing consistent comfort.
- Venting Options
- The GMVC960403BN offers several venting options to streamline installation in a variety of applications. It can be used in either a two-pipe direct vent setup or a single-pipe configuration with combustion air.
- Secure Cabinet
- All GMVC96 furnaces are protected by a durable steel cabinet rated for less than 2% air leakage. The heat exchanger section is insulated to prevent heat loss and the return side of the cabinet is solid and airtight.
- ComfortBridge Compatible
- This furnace is compatible with Goodman's ComfortBridge communicating controls. ComfortBridge control streamlines the installation and maintenance processes further by automatically detecting your equipment and providing diagnostics and troubleshooting.
- Auto-Comfort
- Goodman's Auto-Comfort mode is available in applications where the GMVC960403BN is used to distribute cooled air. This mode scales output up to the cooling demand in stages for improved comfort, efficiency, and dehumidification.
- Easy Integration
- The GMVC960403BN makes it simple to enhance your system with a humidifier and an electronic air cleaner; just wire them directly to the low-voltage terminals on the control board.
- Extended Warranty
- Goodman offers a 10-year limited unit replacement and parts warranty when you register your product online within 60 days of installation. An unregistered product has the standard 5-year warranty. See the "Manuals" tab for more information.
Overview for Goodman GMVC960403BN Gas Furnace HeaterThe Goodman GMVC96 High-Efficiency Gas Furnace with two-stage gas valve and a variable-speed circulating blower provides efficient and economical performance. Unlike single-stage gas furnaces that operate 'all on' or 'all off,' a Goodman two-stage gas furnace typically runs at the lowest possible speed to precisely maintain a constant, steady temperature in your home. A two-stage gas furnace optimizes its heating output to maximize indoor comfort and lower energy costs. When operating at low-speed levels, your Goodman gas furnace consumes less energy to keep your home comfortable. In addition, the 96% AFUE rating on this gas furnace means that 96 cents of every $1.00 of heating energy expense warms your home.
The Goodman GMVC96 96% AFUE Two Stage, Variable Speed, Multi position Upflow ComfortNet Compatible Series GMVC960403BN Gas Furnace Heaters.
The Goodman brand is one of the biggest names in home cooling, heating and energy-efficient home comfort.

Fuel Type
Fuel Type
To create heat, some form of fuel is required. Fuel Type specifies what the product uses as an input to create heat.
Natural Gas
Vent Type
Vent Type
Products that use combustion (burning) of fuel to create heat also create potentially dangerous gasses that need to be exhausted (AKA "Vented"). Depending on the product, venting can be done via a chimney, through a side wall, or use a second vent to provide fresh air to the appliance.
Direct Vent
Modulating/Staging
Modulating/Staging
Stages are unique speeds or levels that equipment can operate at. More stages allow for better fine-tuned control of output, which improves comfort and efficiency. Modulating equipment can operate across a range of levels, giving the highest level of fine-tuned control. Learn More

Configuration
Configuration
Orientation describes the direction that air will flow through a piece of equipment. (e.g. air will flow horizontally through a "Horizontal" unit heater.) Most equipment will only function properly if installed in the proper orientation.

Ultra Low NOx Emissions
Ultra Low NOx Emissions
NOx is a byproduct of the combustion process, and it's output is regulated in some jurisdictions. Many regulators mirror SCAQMD rules, which regulate air quality for some parts of Southern California. Ultra Low NOx appliances emit less than 10-14 ng/J (nanogram per Joule) of NOx. Learn More

Product Questions
Answered by Ken, the eComfort Product Expert
I am in the process of installing a new Goodman heating & cooling system that is ComfortNet compatible. I am considering the CTK04 Thermostat, but I don't if I should spend almost $600 on this thermostat versus a non-ComfortNet thermostat at less than half the cost.
