Designed with innovative, sound-reducing features like insulated cabinets and ultra-quiet blower motors, our Freedom 80 variable-speed furnaces ensure that your family will enjoy the most comfort with the least amount of operating noise. And now with revolutionary AccuClean technology built right into the cabinet of select Ultimate models, it's easier than ever to have cleaner, more comfortable indoor air.
Our Freedom 80 furnaces are designed to maximize heating while minimizing fuel usages. However, as you climb the ladder from single-stage to two-stage and variable-speed Comfort-R furnaces, you’ll find an increasing number of benefits along the way. For example, two-stage heating makes a big difference during those transitional seasons when you need just a little heat to take the chill out of the air. And during humid summer months, variable-speed Comfort-R furnaces are perfect for controlling humidity.
Have your system inspected and serviced by an independent American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning dealer prior to the beginning of each heating season.
Keep your thermostat at the lowest comfortable temperature setting. You can save about 3 percent of your heating costs for every degree you lower your thermostat during the winter.
If you don’t have a programmable American Standard Comfort Control, consider getting one. These easy-to-use “smart” thermostats can change your home’s temperature up to four times a day.
Add insulation to your attic and make sure all your doors and windows are weather-stripped to keep the heat inside your home where it belongs. Potential energy savings may vary depending on your personal lifestyle, system settings, equipment maintenance, local climate, actual construction and installation of equipment and duct system.
Our Freedom 80 gas furnaces are designed with inherent durability and reliability to ensure that they deliver maximum comfort for your family. We also build them to be extraordinarily efficient. The result – over 80% of the fuel you pay for is actually converted into heat for your home. What’s more, Freedom 80 gas furnaces run quietly with precise temperature control, so you’ll enjoy quiet comfort as well as potential savings on your utility bill.
Furnaces with two stages of heat, like our Ultimate and Premium models, typically run at the first, more efficient stage (65% of capacity) most of the time – stepping up to the second stage only during the coldest days for energy-conserving operation that helps you save on your monthly utility bills*. And when the heating cycle ends, the blower continues to run a few moments longer – increasing air circulation and even distributing warmth throughout your home.
Our Ultimate Freedom 80 furnaces come with a variable-speed blower motor and advanced Comfort-R technology for greater comfort and significant energy savings. A variable=speed blower motor puts an end to noisy startups and shutdowns that interrupt your peace and quiet. It also automatically varies its speed based on your comfort demands, reducing temperature variances and operating more efficiently to help you control energy costs*. And during cooling, the sophisticated Comfort-R feature helps control humidity to reduce dust mites and make your home feel even cooler.
* Potential energy saving may vary depending on your lifestyle, system settings, equipment maintenances, local climate, home conditions and installation of equipment and duct system.
Your investment in an American Standard Freedom 80 furnace is well protected, with a 20-year, non-prorated, limited warranty on the heat exchanger and a 5-year limited warranty on all other parts. Optional extended warranties are available. Ask your dealer for full warranty information.
