The Ducane 97G2DF070BE16K is a 97% AFUE downflow gas furnace built for residential installations that require dependable heating performance and compatibility with larger cooling systems. Offering 70,000 BTU/hr of heat output and supporting 4‑ton cooling, it fits well in homes where the furnace must integrate with higher‑capacity air‑conditioning equipment. Its two‑stage heating design helps maintain steadier indoor temperatures by adjusting output based on demand, and the ECM blower motor provides consistent airflow while helping reduce operating noise. Because it is configured for downflow installation, it is suited to spaces where ductwork is located below the unit, such as closets or utility areas. A stainless‑steel secondary heat exchanger contributes to long‑term durability, making the furnace a practical choice for homeowners who want efficient, reliable heating within a compact footprint.
