Tempstar® SmartComfort® VC 97Variable-Speed Modulating Gas FurnaceTempstar ® professionals take pride in bringing youthe latest technology in home comfort, with thegoal of surpassing your expectations in energyefficiency and dependability. From engineeringand design to industry-leading warranties, we arededicated to always delivering quality you can feel.Custom ComfortUnlike single-stage furnaces—which heat up fast and shut down fast, creating noticeable swingsin temperature—the Tempstar® SmartComfort VC 97 delivers consistent heat and overall comfort.When paired with a compatible thermostat, the modulating heat system operates at lower heatlevels most of the time and automatically modulates to the higher heat production if temperaturesdrop. The variable-speed blower motor can also help increase comfort by maximizing moistureremoval during cooling (air conditioner) operation. And the high efficiency blower motor can berun continuously to improve indoor air quality.Used with a humidity-sensing thermostat or dehumidistat.21Reliable Direct hot surface ignition system features anadvanced silicon nitride igniter and in-shot burners forgreater reliability.12Safe Temperature limit control, reliable gas valve andinduced draft motor all help ensure safe operation.3Quiet Solid pre-painted steel insulated cabinet withtight-fit door latch system, blower motor isolated behinda sealed door, and soft-mount rubber gaskets on keycomponents lower operating sounds.35445Efficiency ECM variable-speed blower motor providesefficiency. The VC 97 is also compatible with two-stagecooling, and its advanced dehumidification capability canreduce additional moisture in the air when paired with an airconditioner or heat pump and a humidity-sensing thermostat.System Control State-of-the-art electronic controls monitorsystem operation and allow for faster, easier system diagnostics.Observer Communicating Control The VC 97 is teamedwith our innovative Observer communicating control. Itoffers full-color touchscreen technology and coordinates withcompatible furnace, air conditioner and system accessories tocreate maximum efficiency and ideal comfort.

The Quiet OneThe sturdy steel cabinet is thermal lined andinsulated to reduce the amount of heat andoperating noise that escapes. A sealed blowercompartment, soft-mount components, and thevariable-speed blower motor also reduce operating sounds. Whenmatched with select Tempstar air conditioners and evaporatorcoils, the ECM variable-speed blower motor can also boost coolingefficiency for increased SEER † rating. §†SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio.§As compared to the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute’s standard coil-only rating.Exceptional Furnace,Exceptional WarrantiesTempstar units are backed by exceptional warranties,including our No Hassle Replacement limited warranty,which gives the original purchaser a replacement unit ifLIFETIMESTAINLESSSTEELHEAT EXCHANGERLIMITED%AFUEWARRANTYTIMELY REGISTRATION REQUIRED.PLEASE SEE WARRANTY CERTIFICATE FOR DETAILS.YEARPARTSLIMITEDWARRANTYACTION REQUIRED.PLEASE SEE WARRANTY CERTIFICATE FOR DETAILS.73°72°71°70°69°68°67°the stainless steel heat exchanger should fail due to defectwithin the first ten years.

Please see warranty certificate for further details and restrictions.Stainless Steel For Winter WarmthThe heart of every furnace is the heat exchanger. The proven RPJ®(Rigid Press Joint) stainless steel heat exchanger is designed tomove more heat to the outside surface for increased heat transfer.The weld-free interlocking clamshell design reduces crackingor separating over the life of the gas furnace. Stainless steelconstruction adds durability and resists corrosion. The RPJ heatexchanger plays a significant role in boosting this model’s efficiencyto a 97% AFUE ‡ rating. So you can count on energy savings,especially compared to an older, less efficient furnace.‡AFUE stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency.Benefits of Modulating OperationIncreases Comfort by SignificantlyReducing Hot and Cold Temperature SwingsTypical Furnace OperationModulating Furnace OperationHigher AFUE Equals Greater Energy Savings33%SAVINGS34%SAVINGS37%SAVINGS38%SAVINGSComplete Line, Complete ComfortA completely integrated system of Tempstar heating andcooling products can maximize comfort and efficiency.abcdHUMIDIFIERenhances comfort byreducing dryness in the air.AIR CLEANERfilters out many indoorair pollutants so the airin your home is cleaner.FULL-COLORTOUCHSCREENOBSERVERCOMMUNICATINGCONTROLallows you to customizeheating and cooling levelsand also save energy.FURNACEis designed for maximumcomfort and efficiencyand built rugged foryears of operation.ecefgAIR CONDITIONERkeeps your home cooland comfortable whilesaving on energy.EVAPORATOR/INDOOR COILmatches your Tempstarair conditioner andfurnace to ensure greatperformance.UV LIGHTShelp prevent the growthmicrobes on the coils.(Not available on allmodels.)dfagb25%SAVINGS6%SAVINGS0%SAVINGS14%SAVINGS%AFUE60 AFUE 64 AFUE 70 AFUE 80 AFUE 90 AFUE 92 AFUE 96 AFUE 97 AFUEPercentage based on national averages; may vary according to efficiency of current unit and installation.
