THE WEATHERMAKER® 8000VS GAS FURNACE

 

The 58CVA/CVX Variable-Speed, 4-way Multipoise Gas Furnaces 

offer unmatched comfort with ComfortHeat

 Technology and 

IdealHumidity

 in an 80% AFUE gas furnace. You get all the benefits of 

a ComfortHeat Technology furnace: reduced drafts, reduced sound 
levels, longer, more gentle cycles, less temperature swings between 
cycles, and less temperature differences between rooms. With the 
variable speed blower motor, homeowners can now economically run 
constant fan to help eliminate temperature differences throughout the 
house and to get better indoor air quality. This IdealHumidity furnace also 
increases comfort in the summer by wringing out extra humidity when 
needed. The 58CVA furnaces are approved for use with natural or 
propane gas, and the 58CVX is approved for use in low Nox Air Quality 
Management Districts.
