Product Description

Replaces the Amana AM9C96. The AR9T96 is the current version of Amana’s two-stage, multi-speed ECM furnace and the successor to the discontinued AM9C96. What’s new: it is R-32 (A2L) ready for today’s R-32 air conditioners and heat pumps, and efficiency rises from 96% to up to 97% AFUE.

High Efficiency

The Amana AR9T96 Two-Stage, Multi-Speed ECM Gas Furnace is rated up to 97% AFUE (96.1%–97% depending on size), so almost all of the fuel you pay for goes into heating your home. Its two-stage gas valve runs on the lower stage most of the time and steps up to full output only on the coldest days.

Quiet Operation

A multi-speed (9-speed) ECM blower motor and a quiet two-speed induced draft blower keep airflow smooth and quiet, and low continuous fan speed options provide gentle air circulation between heating cycles. The heat exchanger and blower section are fully insulated.

Durable Construction

The AR9T96 is built around a heavy-duty stainless-steel tubular primary heat exchanger and a stainless-steel secondary heat exchanger, with a durable Silicon Nitride igniter and a heavy-gauge steel cabinet with cabinet air leakage of 2% or less.

Ready for R-32 Systems

The AR9T96 is part of Amana’s R-32 furnace line. Its control board is set up for A2L refrigerant systems, so it pairs with new R-32 air conditioners and heat pumps.

Easy Installation and Maintenance

The multi-position cabinet installs upflow or horizontal left or right, is certified for direct vent (2-pipe) or non-direct vent (1-pipe), and offers left or right gas and electrical connections. A self-diagnostic control board stores fault code history to simplify troubleshooting and service.

Key Features:

  • Up to 97% AFUE Efficiency: Reduces energy costs while maintaining consistent heating.
  • Two-Stage Gas Valve: Provides quiet, economical heating by running at low fire most of the time.
