The Goodman GR9S800604BX combines a 60,000 BTU heating input with higher airflow capability in a 17.5-inch cabinet. Built around single-stage gas heating and a multi-speed ECM blower, this furnace supports up to 1,600 CFM for compatible ducted HVAC systems. Its Low NOx configuration and upflow/horizontal design further distinguish it from other 60,000 BTU models in the GR9S80 family.
Goodman GR9S800604BX Overview
The Goodman GR9S800604BX is a 60000 BTU Gas Furnace with a rated heating output of 48,000 BTU. It carries an 80% AFUE rating and uses straightforward single-stage gas operation.
As a Goodman 80% AFUE Furnace, this model converts approximately 80% of its rated fuel input into usable heating output. The single-stage design means the gas heating section operates at one rated heating stage when heat is required.
One of the more important characteristics of this particular configuration is airflow. Its multi-speed ECM blower supports up to 1,600 CFM, giving it greater airflow capability than some other 60,000 BTU models in the same furnace family.
The furnace also uses a 17.5-inch cabinet and supports both upflow and horizontal orientations.
Key Features of This Goodman 60,000 BTU Furnace
The Goodman Single Stage Gas Furnace combines moderate heating capacity with a higher-airflow blower configuration.
-
60,000 BTU Input: Delivers 48,000 BTU of rated heating output.
-
80% AFUE: Provides standard-efficiency gas heating performance.
-
Single-Stage Heating: Uses one rated gas heating stage.
-
Multi-Speed ECM Blower: Provides multiple airflow settings for compatible system requirements.
-
Up to 1,600 CFM: Gives this configuration higher airflow capability.
-

GR9S800604BX Dimensions & Heating Capacity
The furnace measures approximately 17.5 inches wide, 28 inches deep, and 33.375 inches high. Its listed shipping weight is 108 pounds.
Heating input is rated at 60,000 BTU, while rated heating output is 48,000 BTU. These figures align with the furnace's 80% AFUE rating.
The blower configuration is another important part of the equipment selection. As a 1600 CFM Gas Furnace, this model offers greater maximum airflow than lower-CFM 60,000 BTU configurations while retaining the same basic heating capacity.
An 80% AFUE Gas Furnace should still be selected according to the building's actual heating and airflow requirements. Climate, insulation, windows, ceiling height, air leakage, building layout, and duct characteristics can all influence equipment requirements.
