Carrier Performance 80 Gas Furnace

Two-Stage Comfort at 80% Efficiency

The Carrier Performance 80 Gas Furnace provides the comfort benefits of two-stage heating at the 80% AFUE efficiency level. Ideal for homeowners who want quieter, more even heating than a single-stage furnace but don't need or want the complexity of a high-efficiency condensing unit.

Why Choose 80% AFUE?

While high-efficiency condensing furnaces (90%+) offer better fuel efficiency, 80% AFUE furnaces use standard metal venting rather than PVC, making them simpler and less expensive to install — especially in homes with existing chimney or B-vent infrastructure. For some Albuquerque homes, the installation savings offset the higher operating costs.

Key Features

Up to 80% AFUE — Standard efficiency with two-stage comfort.

Two-stage gas valve — Runs at low fire most of the time for quieter, more even heat.

Multi-speed blower — Improved airflow management over single-speed units.

Durable heat exchanger — Tubular, aluminized-steel construction.

10-year parts warranty — Standard Carrier coverage when registered.

Note on Rebates

80% AFUE furnaces do not qualify for NM Gas utility rebates or federal tax credits, which require 95%+ AFUE. Consider the Carrier Comfort 96 or Performance 96 for rebate eligibility.
