LEWISBURG, Tenn., Oct. 28, 2010 – International Comfort Products, LLC (ICP) introduces a complete new line of Arcoaire^® 80 percent AFUE gas furnaces, designed for easier installation and service.

ICP Product Support Manager Dave Powell said that in designing the new line of Arcoaire 80 percent gas furnaces, ICP asked for input from dozens of dealers all across the country. “Dealers sell, install and service 80 percent gas furnaces for a living, so we wanted to know what features were important to them and find out if they had any ideas for improving the old line— and we listened to what they had to say.” The new line of Arcoaire 80 percent gas furnaces is tougher, quieter, easier to install, easier to service, and easier to sell.

• Tougher – The new line features a simple but reliable White-Rodgers^® gas valve, a proven Rigid Press Joint (RPJ^®) aluminized steel heat exchanger, and dependable silicon nitride hot surface ignitors.
• Easier to Install – The units stand only 33-1/3 inches tall and weigh less than their counterparts in the previous 80 percent furnace line. Most models measure less than 21 inches wide to fit through narrow openings. Featuring a four-way multiposition design, these versatile new furnaces allow 13 different venting options to meet the needs of virtually any installation. Cabinet edges of the new furnaces are hemmed for easier handling.
  
• Easier to Service – These new gas furnaces feature a thinner, lighter single-panel door with new patent-pending on/off door latches for easier service. A new-design LED sight glass makes diagnostic fault codes easier to read in the event the unit requires service.

These new Arcoaire 80 percent furnaces are available in four product families:

• VS 80 – Premium mainline model with variable-speed high-efficiency ECM blower, two-stage heating, and two-stage cooling compatibility.
• IIS 80 – Two-stage heating and two-stage cooling compatible mainline model.
• XS 80 – High-efficiency ECM blower can help save electricity year-round. The XS 80 mainline model is also compatible with two-stage condensers.
• PS 80 – Single-stage heating model with PSC blower.
