Rheem R96TA0402317MSA R96T Classic Plus Series Gas Furnace uses advanced two-stage heating technology to create a more stable and comfortable indoor environment.

Designed for energy-conscious homeowners, R96T delivers up to 96% AFUE efficiency.
That means up to 96 cents of every heating dollar goes directly toward warming your home, helping reduce wasted energy and lower utility costs over time. High-efficiency performance may also qualify homeowners for local rebates or utility incentive programs depending on location.
The Constant Torque ECM motor further improves performance by adjusting airflow more efficiently while reducing electricity consumption.
Rheem Classic Plus Series is engineered for quieter heating performance.
Its redesigned heat exchanger and airflow system reduce operating sound levels by up to 20% compared to conventional furnace designs, making it one of the quieter options available for residential heating.
The two-stage heating system also contributes to quieter operation by spending most of its runtime at lower capacity rather than frequently cycling at full power.
