New Ducane™ Gas Furnaces Feature Enhanced Efficiency, Cost-Savings and Convenience

West Columbia, SC (February 2, 2009) – Redesigning the Ducane™ gas furnace line wasn’t a matter of reinventing the wheel for Allied Air Enterprises Inc. It simply made one of the industry’s best-performing furnaces even more efficient and easier to install and service.

Consumers also benefit from Ducane’s new warranty program, which includes 10 years on parts and a limited-lifetime heat exchanger warranty when homeowners register their product online.

Designed for easy installation and fast, efficient service, the Ducane furnaces’ standard industry widths make for easier coil-fit and top-vent attachment simplifies installation, especially in space-constrained applications. Its easy slide-out blower design, self-diagnosing control board and "tool-less" service doors offer quick access and fast service.

The Ducane line of furnaces includes the CG95V, which features a two-stage gas valve, robust heat exchanger and ECM™ Variable Speed blower that provides quiet, even temperatures for greater comfort and humidity control. The CG92TB model features multi-poise upflow/horizontal configurations, while the CG90 version is equipped with dedicated upflow and downflow configurations.

The CG80 (single stage) and CG80V (two-stage) have heating capacities available up to 150,000 input BTUs and "Low Nox" versions that meet lower emissions as required by location. These models can save homeowners hundreds of dollars more each year than standard furnaces.

Several Ducane models meet ENERGY STAR® qualifications. ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy aimed at saving money and protecting the environment through energy efficient products and practices. Local municipalities and utilities can provide information on available ENERGY STAR incentives (visit www.energystar.gov for more about ENERGY STAR incentives).
