You will learn that the Amana GHS8 gas furnace is an Energy Star qualified product; this means that it meets certain efficiency requirements. Models such as the GHS8 which meet the Energy Star product specifications are condensing furnaces, and that means they do not use indoor air which is mostly contaminated with household product germs. Furnaces with sealed combustion bring outdoor air directly to the combustion chambers. These furnaces are great for use in cold regions where you can warm your entire home.

The gas furnace produces heat through the combustion of natural gas in the furnace’s burner, which then passes through the heat exchanger. The furnace’s blower blows warmed air into the duct-work, which distributes the warmed air throughout the entire home.
