ENERGY SAVINGS AND COMFORT
The 9600 Series features a two-stage gas valve and a variable-speed energy efficient ECM blower motor. Napolean's two-stage furnace reduces temperature swings within your home, maintaining a more consistent, comfortable temperature. The 96% AFUE furnaces will operate on low fire for greater efficiency and comfort for most of the heating season. On colder days, when the first stage cannot satisfy the heating demand, the furnace will automatically switch to the second stage, producing more heat ONLY when required. Ultimately this balancing of the heat production results in quieter operation cycles and less energy being consumed throughout the heating season.

ANNUAL FUEL UTIlIZATION EFFICIENCY
96% AFUE translates into significantly lower fuel bills
Higher AFUE = More comfort for every dollar spent. The Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) measures the amount of fuel converted to space heat in proportion to the amount of fuel entering the furnace. This is commonly expressed as a percentage. AFUE works much like the miles-per-gallon rating on a car - the higher the rating, the lower the fuel costs.
*If a furnace is 25 years old or older, chances are that it has a rating of only 55% to 65% AFUE.
