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 GMVC961005CN 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 GMVC961005CN 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 GMVC961005CN 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 GMVC961005CN 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.
Goodman established itself as the largest HVAC manufacturer in the US by producing high-quality, efficient equipment and providing it to homeowners at a great value. The GMVC96 furnace uses a pair of steel heat exchangers to convert 96% of the energy used into comfort, Goodman's highest mark for a two-stage furnace. It is equipped with an advanced variable-speed blower motor, which scales circulation to the specific demands of your application in real-time. The GMVC961005CN was designed with multiple options for the unit's gas, electric, and venting connections and orientation, ensuring a painless and quick installation. It even features a self-diagnosing control board that makes maintenance a breeze. If you're looking for consistent comfort and incredible efficiency from a two-stage furnace, it's tough to beat Goodman's GMVC96.

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.

Cost-Efficient and Energy-Efficient Furnace
By Jack N.

Review Posted 08/08/2019
I replaced my old furnace which used to burn money and did not heat the house properly - too hot too quickly. This new Goodman furnace is 2 stage so it heats more efficiently and will help us save money in the long-run. The 10 year warranty from Goodman was a fantastic offer too.

Review Posted 10/17/2018
Goodman has come quite a long way in quality and dependability over the past 10 years or so. This is the 4th Goodman system I have installed in as many houses. All function well, and are still in service.
They are easy to install by the experienced DIY guy. If you get stuck, there are lots of videos on you tube.
eComfort had the best price when you consider shipping costs. They included Free shipping, and Free lift gate service. Unit arrived undamaged in a couple days.
I would definitely purchase another Goodman, and I will continue to use eComfort.

Review Posted 07/09/2018
I was not even planning to replace the old Lennox Pulse furnace, as it was still running fine, the A/C unit had failed. I am going to sell the home in a year or so and discussion with my HVAC person indicated that replacing both units would look good to a prospective buyer.The Lennox Pulse was probably best in class in its day but it was 25 years old and very noisy. This Goodman model is very quiet and much more energy efficient. I am very happy I made the decision to switch out the units at this time.

Very impressed so far. Wish Goodman would offer support to homeowners (not just licensed contractors), but I understand that policy. The unit came with very complete documentation that is really all the info you need for a do-it-yourself-er.

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.
