New 95 Percent AFUE Efficiency KeepRite^® VS 95 Variable Speed Gas Furnace Offers Contractor-friendly Design

LEWISBURG, Tenn., Oct. 7, 2008 – New from International Comfort Products, LLC, the KeepRite^Ò  VS 95 gas furnace features money-saving 95 percent AFUE efficiency and easy installation, plus the comfort and energy efficiency of two-stage, variable-speed heating.

KeepRite VS 95 furnaces are available in four models with heating inputs ranging from 40 MBTUh to 100 MBTUh and cooling capacities from 1.5 tons to 5 tons. Benefits of the VS 95 furnace include:

• Quiet, Comfortable Performance:  With two stages of heating, the VS 95 furnace operates on quieter low fire unless the thermostat calls for high fire. As an added bonus, when two-stage furnaces operate on low fire, they run on longer cycles to keep the home heated more evenly.  A thermal-lined, one-piece cabinet; solid doors for a sealed combustion compartment; and an insulated blower compartment provide quiet, efficient operation.

• Time-Saving Installation: The VS 95 is dual certified for one- or two-pipe installation, which can run horizontally or vertically. In a two-pipe configuration, it is direct-vent rated. Easy-to-remove panels and extra-spacious cabinets give technicians room to work. Versatile 24- and 115-volt connections allow easy attachment of electronic air cleaners (115v) and humidifiers (24v and 115v).

• Multiposition Application: This multiposition furnace is ready for upflow installations out of the box, with all parts included for downflow or horizontal conversions. KeepRite VS 95 furnaces are shipped configured for natural gas applications. Propane gas conversion kits are available.

• Efficient Operation: The VS 95 furnace operates at 95 percent AFUE efficiency with low NOx emissions and features a high-efficiency, GE ECM 2.3 indoor variable-speed fan motor for money-saving operation.

•Simplified Troubleshooting: The KeepRite VS 95 furnace is equipped with a troubleshooting LED fault indicator that will help diagnose nearly all system-related malfunctions. The fault indicator is easy to view through a sight glass in the blower door. For servicing convenience, the entire blower assembly is mounted on rails. Conventional gas valves also come standard on these furnaces for easy replacement and troubleshooting. 

• Reliable Service: Remote flame sensing offers the added safety of proving the flame lights all the way across the burner.

• Proven Dependability:  Durable silicon nitride igniters last longer, can withstand high-line voltage and do not require voltage regulators. The VS 95 furnace features a patented weld-free stainless steel RPJ^® III primary heat exchanger plus a stainless steel secondary heat exchanger for maximum performance and durability.

• Premium Warranties: The VS 95 gas furnace includes a lifetime limited warranty on the heat exchanger, a seven-year limited warranty on parts and a 10-year No Hassle Replacement^TM limited warranty. The No Hassle Replacement limited warranty provides a new equivalent replacement unit if the heat exchanger fails during the No Hassle Replacement limited warranty period (with a labor allowance for the dealer). Restrictions apply. Contact your local KeepRite distributor for details.
