YORK® modulating gas furnace receives Consumers Digest Best Buy designation
Energy-efficient furnace also qualifies as an ENERGY STAR® product
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers Digest magazine recently named the YORK® Affinity™ YP9C modulating gas furnace from Johnson Controls a 2016 Best Buy. As winter approaches, designations like this can be helpful to homeowners in the market for a new, more energy-efficient heating system. The Best Buy designation recognizes the furnace's outstanding efficiency rating, fuel-conserving features and positive impact on homeowner comfort. The designation also considered ease of use, maintenance requirements and quality and reliability.
In addition to special designations, homeowners should consider furnace energy efficiency ratings, which for gas furnaces are expressed as Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE). The YORK Affinity gas furnace boasts an efficiency rating of 98 percent AFUE, which means the unit converts 98 percent of its useable energy to heat a home, providing more heat for less money. Because the furnace meets or exceeds U.S. Environmental Protection Agency energy efficiency standards of 90 percent AFUE, the gas furnace also qualifies as an ENERGY STAR® product.
The Affinity furnace also ensures homeowner comfort, thanks in part to its modulating burner design, which evenly replaces the amount of heat leaving the home and helps to maintain the desired temperature setting. Fewer stops and starts and ClimaTrak™ technology, which allows the furnace to work best in a particular climate, further contribute to a more comfortable environment.
"For homeowners looking for an efficient heating system that provides a comfortable, quiet environment, the YORK Affinity modulating gas furnace is a great choice," said Liz Haggerty, vice president and general manager, Unitary Products Group, Johnson Controls. "In addition to the Best Buy and ENERGY STAR designations, the furnace has also earned the Good Housekeeping Seal, a symbol of quality and trust."
The gas furnace also features a compact 33-inch cabinet profile to fit more comfortably in less space, including closets, attics and basements with low ceilings. Homeowners who install the furnace in their homes will also appreciate the unit's quiet operation and the ability to remotely monitor and adjust temperature settings for up to six zones/rooms in their homes using a Wi-Fi®- and smartphone-compatible YORK thermostat. Additionally, the furnace offers homeowners an industry-leading limited parts warranty.
