Day & Night® Introduces New Easy-Install, Easy-Service
96 Percent Plus AFUE Gas Furnaces
LEWISBURG, Tenn., Nov. 28, 2011 – International Comfort Products, LLC (ICP) introduces a new line of easy-install, easy-service Day & Night® Constant Comfort™ 96 percent plus AFUE gas furnaces, featuring models with stainless steel primary and secondary heat exchangers.
ICP designed the new line of Constant Comfort 96 percent plus Day & Night gas furnaces after conducting focus groups with dealers across the country. ICP General Manager J.T. Holtschlag said, “Based on dealers’ feedback during the design process, we developed a new line of furnaces that are shorter, more compact, easier to handle and easier to install.”
The new Day & Night 96 percent plus gas furnaces are:
- Reliable – The new furnaces are equipped with dependable, easy-to-troubleshoot gas valves and torture-tested silicon nitride hot surface ignitors. The new line features proven Rigid Press Joint (RPJ®) heat exchangers. VC 97 and VT 96 models are built with stainless steel primary and secondary heat exchangers.
- Easier to Install – The new furnaces are only 35 inches tall for easier installation into tight places. They are also available in the same cabinet widths as the current line of 80 percent AFUE furnaces. Mainline 80 MBTUh models are only 17.5 inches wide, and even the 100 MBTUh models – with up to 5 tons of cooling airflow – are only 21 inches wide. These new gas furnaces weigh less than their counterparts in the previous 90 percent plus furnace line, and cabinet edges are hemmed to give installers safer and easier handholds for lifting the furnaces.
- Easier-to-read – A new bright LED is more visible through the redesigned sight glass, making diagnostic flash codes easier to read in the event the unit requires service.
- Easy On/Off Door Latches – A tight-fit door latch system features large knobs that allow service technicians to remove and replace furnace doors with a twist of the wrist.
- Versatile – These new gas furnaces are designed for four-way multi-position installation, with at least 12 different venting options to meet the needs of virtually any installation.
These new Day & Night 96 percent plus furnaces are available in four product families:
• Constant Comfort™ VC 97: Modulating, variable-speed ECM at 97 percent AFUE.
• Constant Comfort VT 96: Two-stage variable-speed at 96 percent AFUE.
• Constant Comfort IIX 96: Two-stage Xtra SEER* model at 96 percent AFUE.
• Constant Comfort DLX 96: Single-stage Xtra SEER* model at 96 percent AFUE.
Day & Night Maximum Strength Warranties cover the new 96 percent plus gas furnaces with a 10-year limited warranty on parts, a lifetime limited warranty on the heat exchanger, and up to 10 years of No Hassle Replacement™ limited warranty on Constant Comfort models. Limited warranties on parts and heat exchangers apply to original owner when installed in an owner-occupied single family residence and properly registered within 90 days after original installation. Limited warranty period is five years for parts and 20 years for the heat exchanger if not registered within 90 days of installation. Original owner in jurisdictions where warranty benefits cannot be conditioned on registration will receive the registered limited warranty periods. Please see warranty certificate for further details, restrictions, and registration instructions.
The No Hassle Replacement limited warranty provides a new equivalent replacement unit should the heat exchanger fail during the No Hassle Replacement period (with a labor allowance for the dealer). Restrictions apply. Contact your local Day & Night distributor for details.
