ENJOY THE COMFORT
AND EFFICIENCY
Goodman’s GME8 Energy-Efficient Gas Furnace
with two-stage heating and a circulating blower
provides efficient and economical performance.
Unlike single-stage gas furnaces that operate ‘all
on’ or ‘all off,’ a Goodman brand variable-speed
gas furnace typically runs up to 90% of the time
in the low-speed capacity on most days. But when
the temperature outside is frightfully cold, this
furnace quietly ramps up to high-speed capacity
to deliver all the warm, comfortable heat your
home needs.
When operating at low-speed levels, your
Goodman gas furnace consumes less energy to
keep your home comfortable. In addition, the
80% AFUE rating on this gas furnace means
that 80 cents of every $1.00 of heating
energy expense warms your home. Some older
central heating systems are rated at 60% AFUE.
The Department of Energy (DOE) established
the AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency)
system to calculate the annual operating
cost of residential gas furnace.

QUIET YOU CAN
COUNT ON
The components of your Goodman brand
GME8 Furnace including the multi-speed
blower
and two-stage gas valve have been specially
selected to reduce the noise levels common in other
furnaces without these features. Plus, because your
furnace’s
Dual$aver Technology provides steady,
gradual heat, it operates more quietly than furnaces
without this technology. Finally, we house these
components in a fully insulated, heavy-gauge steel
cabinet. The result... quiet comfort.
