New Heil® 96 Percent Plus AFUE Gas Furnaces
Provide Easier Installation and Service
LEWISBURG, Tenn., Nov. 28, 2011 – International Comfort Products, LLC (ICP) introduces a new line of Heil® QuietComfort® 96 percent plus AFUE gas furnaces, featuring models with stainless steel primary and secondary heat exchangers.
ICP designed the new line of QuietComfort® 96 percent plus Heil gas furnaces after conducting focus groups with dealers across the country. ICP General Manager J.T. Holtschlag said, “We used dealer comments from these focus groups to develop a new line of furnaces that offer quieter operation, easier installation and more models above 95 percent AFUE.”
 These new Heil 96 percent plus furnaces are available in four product families:
- QuietComfort® VC 97: Modulating, variable-speed ECM at 97 percent AFUE.
- QuietComfort VT 96: Two-stage variable-speed at 96 percent AFUE.
- QuietComfort IIX 96: Two-stage Xtra SEER* model at 96 percent AFUE.
- QuietComfort DLX 96: Single-stage Xtra SEER* model at 96 percent AFUE.
The new Heil 96 percent plus gas furnace line is designed to be easier to sell, install and service and is:
- Dependable – The new line features a simple, but reliable, gas valve, a proven Rigid Press Joint (RPJ®) heat exchanger, and dependable silicon nitride hot surface ignitors. VC 97 and VT 96 models are built with stainless steel primary and secondary heat exchangers.
- Quiet – The blower motor of the new 96 percent plus furnaces is attached with soft-mount rubber grommets that absorb sound and vibration. QuietComfort models have insulated heat exchanger and blower compartments to muffle sound and absorb vibration noise.
- Shorter, Narrower Cabinets – The units stand only 35 inches tall. 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.
- Easier to Handle – 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.
- Easy Access – These new gas furnaces feature large, one-quarter turn knobs for door installation and removal.
- Easier to Read LED – Newly designed sight glass coupled with a super-bright LED makes diagnostic flash codes easier to read in the event the unit requires service.
- Multiple Vent Options – 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.
Heil 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 QuietComfort 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 Heil distributor for details.
