New Tempstar^® SmartComfort™ VS 95 Variable Speed Gas Furnace Offers
95 Percent AFUE Efficiency, Contractor-friendly Design

LEWISBURG, Tenn., July 29, 2008 – New from International Comfort Products, LLC, the Tempstar^Ò SmartComfort™ 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.

Tempstar 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.

· Tempstar 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 and features a high-efficiency, GE ECM 2.3 indoor variable-speed fan motor for money-saving operation.

Simplified Troubleshooting:

· The Tempstar 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.

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 Tempstar distributor for details.
