What’s in Store for Heating Season?
As an added feature to this year’s furnace guide, we offered all
furnace manufacturers some ink for commentary on 2015-2016
heating offerings. Here are comments by those who responded.
Q: What’s new and exciting about your new furnace line?
American Standard: “This is American Standard’s most efficient and powerful gas furnace – and also its most comfortable.
With AccuLink™ communicating capability,
continuous Comfort-R mode and an array of
other innovate features, the Platinum Series
gives your home maximum efficiency with
controlled comfort.” — Jim Lowell, HVAC
product manager, Ingersoll Rand.
Carrier:“We are launching a new, lowcapacity furnace for applications needing 26
kBTUs. This product will be very efficient, 95
AFUE, with blower options of both a PSC and
BLDC. This product was designed for multiCarrier Infinity 98 family housing applications, a segment that
is experiencing tremendous growth. It’s also
attractive to the low energy home segment,
which we believe will continue to expand.
Carrier is committed to developing new products to meet the new and changing demands.”
— Tom Archer, heating product manager.
Rheem & Ruud: “Rheem and Ruud product developers are always taking suggestions
from contractors to make their lives easier out
in the field. For example, now both Rheem
Prestige Series furnace Upflow/Horizontal
and Downflow models have the PlusOne Di- Rheem Prestige
agnostics, easy-to-read dual 7-segment alphanumeric LED display and are also EcoNet-enabled — a service
technician’s dream because both make diagnostics easier.
“The Upflow/Horizontal model has 20-plus new features for
a completely redesigned, trouble free furnace that installs easier
than ever — just what a contractor wants. Some of these new
features include quarter-turn door knobs for easy access inside
REVERSE YOUR THINKING
4-WAY
REVERSING VALVES
FOR HEAT-PUMP APPLICATIONS
DiversiTech’s new DRV Series
of Reversing Valves are built
to OEM-quality standards for
years of reliable performance.
They are designed as drop-in
replacements for use in most
heat pump air conditioner
applications. Ask for them at
your local DiversiTech distributor.

the unit without using tools and the blower is mounted on a rail
system – it only takes two fasteners to be removed to pull the
blower shelf out for service.
“We use our PEP (Product Excellence Panel) and “360° +1”
design process to get direct feedback/input from our distributors and contractors through every stage of the product development. Rheem makes sure the design meets the needs
of our customers (distributors, contractors and homeowners) by meeting our 360˚ Performance, 360˚ Installability,
360˚ Servicability and 360˚ Integration philosophy. Our products must be designed to perform well, install easily, service
quickly and communicate better than any other product we’ve
developed previously. Contractors have been very pleased
with the features and benefits of these furnaces, and we’re
seeing solid demand for them in line with our expectations.”
— Farooq Mohammad, director, product management, air conditioning division.
Trane: “Trane’s top of the line furnace features the industry’s first true communicating fully modulating gas valve and
an AFUE of up to 97.3 percent. Thanks to the ComfortLink II
technology, the XC95m works with other system components
to learn and adapt to your specific home, providing truly optimized, customized comfort and efficiency.” — Jim Lowell,
HVAC product manager, Ingersoll Rand.
Q: How did your design team go about balancing the need to
meet efficiency standards with the need to provide products that
are also easy-to-service and install?
American Standard & Trane: “Energy
efficiency and a product design that is
easy for our dealers to service and install
are not mutually exclusive concepts. We
start with performance requirements,
and then ask ourselves how our customers will use and interact with our product, and how can we make that interface
easier and more trouble free. If we can’t
achieve both, then we haven’t done our
American Standard Gold job.” — Jim Lowell, HVAC product manager, Ingersoll Rand.
Carrier: “Efficiency regulations are critical, and we are proud
of our ability to design and manufacture products that meet
contractor requirements for ease of installation while complying with the government’s evolving efficiency standards.
“The design team is always focused on making our products easy to install. We recognize the challenges dealers and
contractors face in the field, and we work during the design
and development phase to help make their jobs as intuitive
and streamlined as possible.” — Tom Archer, heating product
manager.
Geothermal Innovations Increase
Mainstream Acceptance
We also asked geothermal product manufacturers to provide
commentary on new developments:
Bosch Thermotechnology: “Because geothermal systems
operate more efficiently than ordinary heating and air conditioning systems, annual operating cost are 30% to 60% lower in most
cases. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
GSHP can reduce energy consumption and resulting greenhouse
gas emissions by up to 44% compared to air sourced heat pumps,
and 72% compared to electric resistance heating in standard
air conditioning systems.” — Gonçalo Costa, director, product
marketing.
Geostar: “The integration of advanced vapor-injection technology to our time-tested water-to-water systems has answered
contractor requests for higher temperature hydronic systems.
The Aston Single Hydronic with OptiHeat is perfect for replacing many applications that would have required a conventional
boiler. The compact Aston Single Hydronic with OptiHeat still
allows for easy access to all internal components. Our communicating Aurora Controls, with the hand-held Aurora Interface
and Diagnostic Tool (AID Tool) allow quick and easy access
to unit setup and troubleshooting. Demand continues to be
steady as interest in more environmental friendly comfort systems grows.” — Dave Salyer, product manager, WaterFurnace
International, Inc.
Modine Manufacturing Company: “Geothermal needs to
become more mainstream, like conventional residential systems. The performance, comfort and life span of geothermal
systems outlast regular systems and it’s important for homeowners to understand that. I believe that educating homeowners about the simple facts of geothermal technology will
help to increase awareness of these systems. Explaining that geothermal is a
renewable energy source that will help
the save up to 50 percent on heating and
cooling costs annually, and that those
savings will pay back their system cost in
about seven years, would a huge help as
well.” — Scott Campana, sales manager,
geothermal products.
WaterFurnace: “The 3 Series feaWaterFurnace 3 Series tures a smaller footprint in response to
smaller and smaller mechanical rooms
in today’s homes. Additionally, the factory mounted return air
flanges allow for easy ductwork connection, and for compatibility with after-market IAQ products. The need for a smaller footprint, yet capable of easily meeting the stringent ENERGY STAR
tier 3 ratings were at the heart of the design of the 3 Series. Our
communicating Aurora Controls, coupled with the hand-held
Aurora Interface and Diagnostic Tool (AID Tool) allow quick
and easy access to unit setup and troubleshooting. — Dave
Salyer, product manager, WaterFurnace International, Inc.
