NuTone's iQ Drive® furnaces are up-to-speed with the expectations of today's comfort-minded and energy-conscious consumer. Providing the latest modulating technology, it stands to reason that these furnaces will cost more upfront. But over the lifetime of your initial investment, they'll provide unparalleled comfort, the quietest operation and significant improvements in indoor air quality.
Likewise, they'll pay back dividends providing energy savings worth hundreds of dollars per year along with reduced maintenance costs. This furnace is an iQ Drive® Ready Furnace and is designed to seamlessly integrate our Award-Winning iQ Drive® Air Conditioner, to create the most energy efficient comfort system available for the home.
Awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency for helping to conserve energy, promote cleaner air, and prevent global warming. To qualify, furnaces must have an Annualized Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of 90% or higher.
The iQ Drive® fully modulating gas furnace by NuTone is the epitome of comfort, convenience and quiet. It continuously adjusts its heat output to exactly match the needs of your home – so you maximize your energy efficiency while enjoying constant comfort. The furnace operates anywhere from 15% to 100% of its capacity, based on your home’s needs. The furnace analyzes the indoor temperature every 60 seconds and adjusts its percentage of firing accordingly.
Since air is circulated at longer cycles more continuously, room temperatures are balanced and more comfortably mixed. Temperature swings are reduced to barely a couple of degrees and hot and cold spots are minimized.
The furnace works with any NuTone split-system air conditioner and actually makes your air conditioner more efficient. On a 13- or 14-SEER air conditioner, the iQ Drive furnace will increase SEER up to another point – in essence, boosting your outdoor unit’s cooling efficiency by up to almost 8%.
Comfort is nice, but saving money on monthly heating costs is even better. A modulating furnace can also reduce your energy bills by hundreds of dollars each season when compared to older, inefficient furnaces. So when utility bills come due, you can breathe a lot easier.
