Efficient, Comfortable Heating for Ontario Winters — Built to Last 

Looking for a powerful, cost-effective furnace that keeps your home warm and your energy bills low? The Goodman GR9T96 Series two-stage gas furnaces deliver steady, quiet heat with smart performance ideal for Ontario’s long, cold winters. 

  

Whether you're upgrading from an older system or building a new home, this series offers a great balance of comfort, efficiency, and affordability all backed by Goodman’s reputation for value and reliability. 

  

If you're asking “What furnace gives better comfort without high upfront cost?” Goodman GR9T96 furnace is the one to consider.

What Makes the GR9T96 Furnace Series Stand Out? 

This Goodman furnace features two-stage gas valve operation, which adjusts heating output based on your home’s demand. It runs in a low-heat mode most of the time to reduce energy use and noise — but kicks into high mode during colder weather for full performance. 

  

Core features include: 

 

  • Up to 96% AFUE efficiency rating for energy savings 
  • Two-stage heating for better temperature control and quieter operation 
  • Multi-speed ECM blower motor for airflow flexibility and system efficiency 
  • Self-diagnostic control board for easier maintenance 
  • Durable aluminized steel heat exchanger for long-term reliability 
  • Sealed cabinet design for reduced air leakage and noise 

  

This system is ideal for homeowners who want more comfort and energy control than a single-stage furnace without the cost of variable-speed models. 

Choosing the Right Furnace Starts with the Right Info

Ideal for Ontario Homes Seeking Balanced Performance 

The GR9T96 series is engineered for colder climates and is a great choice for: 

  • Mid-size and large homes needing consistent warmth 
  • Replacements for 80% or older high-consumption systems 
  • Families wanting reduced indoor temperature swings 
  • Homeowners interested in maximizing ENERGY STAR® rebates

The dual-stage system helps eliminate sudden blasts of air and short-cycling improving comfort and extending equipment life. 

Maintenance Tips For Your Goodman Furnace

While Goodman furnaces are built for durability, seasonal maintenance helps protect your warranty and ensure consistent performance. 

  

We recommend: 

  

  • Replacing the air filter every 1–3 months 
  • Scheduling annual tune-ups to inspect heat exchangers, ignitors, and sensors 
  • Keeping supply and return vents clean 
  • Using Go Lime’s professional servicing before each winter season
