New Heil® 80 Percent Gas Furnaces Designed with Dealers in Mind

LEWISBURG, Tenn., Oct. 28, 2010 – International Comfort Products, LLC (ICP) introduces a versatile new line of Heil® 80 percent AFUEgas furnaces, designed for easier installation and service.

Heil VS 80 Gas Furnace

ICP Product Support Manager Dave Powell said that in designing the new line of Heil 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.”

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

This new Heil 80 percent furnace line is designed to be easier to sell, install and service:

    • 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. 
    • Smaller Cabinets – The units stand only 33-1/3 inches tall. Most models measure less than 21 inches wide to fit through narrow openings.  
    • Easier to Handle – These new gas furnaces weigh less than their counterparts in the previous 80 percent furnace line, and cabinet edges are hemmed to give installers easier handholds for lifting the furnaces.
    • Easy Access – A thinner, light-weight single-panel door features new patent-pending on/off door latches for easier removal.
    • Easier-to-read Sight Glass – A new-design LED sight glass makes diagnostic fault codes easier to read in the event the unit requires service.
    • Full Range of Capacities – These new gas furnaces provide heating and cooling capacities from 45 to 135 MBtuh and 800 to 2,200 CFM.
    • Multiposition – These new gas furnaces are designed for multiposition installation, with 13 different venting options to meet the needs of virtually any installation.
    • Maximum Strength Warranties – Heil 80 percent gas furnaces are covered by a 10-year limited warranty on parts upon timely registration and a 20-year limited warranty on the heat exchanger, and up to 10 years of No Hassle Replacement™ limited warranty on QuietComfort models. (Limited warranty period is 5 years for parts if not registered within 90 days of installation. Jurisdictions where warranty benefits cannot be conditioned on registration will receive 10-year parts limited warranty.) The No Hassle Replacement™ limited warranty provides a new equivalent replacement unit should the heat exchanger fail during the No-Hassle period (with a labor allowance for the dealer). Restrictions apply. Contact your local Heil distributor for details.
