Why We Recommend This System
Our installer's perspective:
- The R962V is our recommendation for homeowners who prioritize comfort above all else.
- Variable-speed airflow eliminates the blast of hot air that single-speed furnaces produce.
- If you're sensitive to temperature fluctuations, this is the furnace that solves that.
- The improved air circulation also helps your air filtration work better.
When it might not be the best fit:
Higher upfront cost than the R96T, but lower operating costs over time. If comfort features aren't a priority and you want the most efficient option, the modulating RM98V might be better. If budget is tight, the R96T saves money upfront.
Alternative: The RM98V modulating furnace offers the ultimate in efficiency with similar comfort benefits.
