West Columbia, SC -- Allied Air Enterprises announces the new 97G2E and 97G2V Two-Stage Constant Torque and Variable Speed Gas Furnaces with 97% AFUE Efficiency under the Concord® and Ducane™ brands. With energy savings even during the coldest months, the units were designed to meet the qualifications for federal tax credits, where homeowners could be eligible for $600 in tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act* and up to $2,600 if a qualifying heat pump is added.

The new models are built on Allied’s current furnace platform that keeps dealers moving by making installation easy.  Units are shipped ready for up-flow or horizontal left or right installation with no modifications to the furnace needed.  Utility connections can be made from the left or right side, and duct connection feature pre-bent and pre-drill flanges from the factory.

“The Concord and Ducane 97% Gas Furnaces helps dealers offer an affordable and easy to install unit with accessible serviceability features, all on a platform they’ve worked with for years,” said Angela Chapoy, General Manager Allied Air Enterprises. “Homeowners deserve to take advantage of available tax incentives through the Inflation Reduction Act, and many families need lower up-front cost solutions to meet their budget.”

Features of the 97G2E Gas Furnace include:

• 97% AFUE Efficiency Rating - this means 97% of the fuel is converted into usable heat that can potentially save customers hundreds of dollars per year in energy costs.
• Left or right gas and electric entry and zero step horizontal conversion.
• Removable floor base (upflow/horizontal units) for bottom return air.
• Two-Stage Heating - the furnace can adjust its heat output based on conditions inside and outside the home, using less energy to maintain comfort.
• Constant Torque Motor - Like a variable speed furnace, constant torque furnaces provide lower operating costs and increases to overall system efficiency. Compared to standard PSC motors, constant torque delivers more consistent airflow and quieter operation.
• ENERGY STAR^®Certified – greater energy efficiency can save costs for end-users.
• Anti-vibration blower assembly eliminates loud startup and shutdown noises for quiet operation.

• 10-year limited warranty on parts and a limited lifetime warranty on the heat exchanger.**
