Features
- Advanced Heat Exchanger Design
- The GMES96 furnace employs a reliable heavy-duty tubular heat exchanger design. Aluminized steel is used in construction for incredibly efficient heat transfer and wrinkle-bend technology for extraordinary durability.
- Secondary Heat Exchanger
- This furnace produces additional heat by directing combustion gases through a secondary heat exchanger before they are vented. The secondary heat exchanger is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and it is sloped to prevent condensate build-up.
- Multi-Speed ECM Motor
- The GMES96's energy efficient blower motor uses the lowest speed it can to deliver precise temperature control for your home while keeping utility bills to a minimum.
- Quiet Comfort
- Goodman takes great pride in producing equipment that doesn't disrupt your home. The blower and gas valve of the GMES96 were selected for their incredibly low sound levels.
- Self-Diagnostic Control Board
- The GMES96 continuously monitors the system to ensure reliable operation, stores the last diagnostic codes in memory, and a flashing LED indicates condition for quick troubleshooting.
- Secure Cabinet
- All GMES96 furnaces are protected by a durable steel cabinet rated for less than 2% air leakage. The heat exchanger section is lined with foil-insulation to prevent heat loss and the return side of the cabinet is solid and airtight.
- Extended Warranty
- Goodman offers a 10-year limited unit replacement and parts warranty when you register your product online within 60 days of installation. An unregistered product has the standard 5-year warranty. See the "Manuals" tab for more information.
Goodman's GMES96 furnaces feature high-quality construction and efficient operation at a great value. The GMES96 multi-speed furnace uses a pair of steel heat exchangers to convert 96% of the energy used into comfort, Goodman's highest mark for a single-stage furnace. Instead of a standard multi-speed blower motor, the GMES96 utilizes an ECM motor, which uses less power and provides smarter circulation. The value doesn't end at efficiency, the GMES96 features many different connection options to reduce installation time and a self-diagnosing control board to expedite maintenance. If you're looking to cut your energy bills and improve your comfort without breaking the bank, your search stops with the GMES96.

Fuel Type
Fuel Type
To create heat, some form of fuel is required. Fuel Type specifies what the product uses as an input to create heat.
Natural Gas
Vent Type
Vent Type
Products that use combustion (burning) of fuel to create heat also create potentially dangerous gasses that need to be exhausted (AKA "Vented"). Depending on the product, venting can be done via a chimney, through a side wall, or use a second vent to provide fresh air to the appliance.
Direct Vent
Modulating/Staging
Modulating/Staging
Stages are unique speeds or levels that equipment can operate at. More stages allow for better fine-tuned control of output, which improves comfort and efficiency. Modulating equipment can operate across a range of levels, giving the highest level of fine-tuned control. Learn More
