Representative drawing only. Some product models may vary.
The 59SC2E Multipoise Comfort™ 92 Condensing Gas Furnace features
SEER-boosting year-round electrical efficiency when paired with a
compatible condensing unit. Energy efficiency is at the heart of this
furnace with up to 92.1% AFUE gas efficiency and the
electrically-efficient fixed-speeds, constant torque (MCT) ECM blower
motor. Improved serviceability with the 3 digit status display and NFC
enabled board allowing setup via the service tech app. This gas furnace
also features 4-way multipoise installation flexibility, and is available in
nine model sizes. The 59SC2E can be vented for direct vent/two-pipe,
ventilated combustion air, or single-pipe applications. Units are design
certified in Canada, and are certified for mobile/manufactured home use.
PERFORMANCE
• Multi 18-speed, constant torque (MCT) ECM blower motor for
electrically efficient operation all year long in heating, cooling and
continuous fan operation.
• Single-speed inducer motor, and single-stage gas valve.
• Silicon Nitride PowerHeat™ Robust Hot Surface Igniter.
• Adjustable blower speed for heating and cooling.
• Enhanced diagnostics with easy to read 3 digit display for faults and
status
• Aluminized-steel primary heat exchanger.
• Stainless-steel condensing secondary heat exchanger.
INSTALLATION FLEXIBILITY
• 4-way multipoise design for upflow, downflow or horizontal
installation, with unique vent elbow for 12 different venting options,
including optional venting through-the-cabinet downflow venting
capability.
• On-board NFC antenna makes setup a tap away when using the
Carrier service technician app
• Factory-configured ready for upflow applications.
• Ideal height 35” (889 mm) cabinet: short enough for taller coils, but
still allows enough room for service.
• Direct-vent/sealed combustion, single-pipe venting or ventilated
combustion air.
APPLICATIONS
• Approved for Twinning applications with accessory kit (060M17--14,
080M17--16, 080M21--20, 100M21--20, 120M24--20 models, only).
• Approved for Manufactured Housing/Mobile Home applications with
MH accessory kit.
• Convertible to propane with gas conversion accessory kit.
CERTIFICATIONS
• All sizes meet ENERGY STAR® South regional standards.
• Cabinet air leakage less than 2.0% at 1.0 in. w.c. and cabinet air
leakage less than 1.4% at 0.5 in. w.c. when tested in accordance with
ASHRAE standard 193.
• All sizes can be installed in California air quality management
districts with a 40 ng/J NOx emissions limit.

For California Residents:
If installed with a manufactured (mobile) home conversion kit in
SCAQMD: This furnace does not meet the SCAQMD Rule 1111 14 ng/J
NOx emission limit, and thus is subject to a mitigation fee of up to $450.
This furnace is not eligible for the Clean Air Furnace Rebate Program:
www.CleanAirFurnaceRebate.com
MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS
The furnace should be sized to provide 100 percent of the design heating
load requirement plus any margin that occurs because of furnace model
size capacity increments. None of the furnace model sizes can be used if
the heating load is 20,000 BTU or lower. Use Air Conditioning
Contractors of America (Manual J and S); American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers; or other approved
engineering method to calculate heating load estimates and select the
furnace. Excessive oversizing of the furnace may cause the furnace
and/or vent to fail prematurely, customer discomfort and/or vent
freezing.
Failure to follow these guidelines is considered faulty installation and/or
misapplication of the furnace; and resulting failure, damage, or repairs
may impact warranty coverage.
