Features
- Aluminized Steel Heat Exchanger
- Ameristar chose an aluminized steel heat exchanger design for two reasons: high thermal conductivity and durability. These qualities translate into a heat exchanger that transfers heat quickly, efficiently, and without breaking down.
- Variable Speed, Consistent Comfort
- The variable speed blower of the M952V080BD36AA makes it easy to stay comfortable. This fan constantly adjusts circulation based on the changing needs of your home, preventing temperature swings and improving efficiency.
- Stainless Steel Secondary Heat Exchanger
- To increase efficiency, the M952V gas-fired furnace includes a secondary heat exchanger that extracts heat from combustion gases before they are vented. This secondary exchanger is made from stainless steel to resist corrosive condensate.
- Tough Cabinet
- Galvanized steel construction and a baked enamel finish mean that the cabinet is built to resist corrosion and prevent wear and tear. Foil-faced fiberglass insulation prevents heat loss and the entire cabinet is certified for less than 2% air leakage.
- Quiet Comfort
- Ameristar's M952V furnaces keep your home comfortable and quiet. The burners feature a low noise design and the cabinet is sound insulated.
- Air-Conditioning Ready
- The M952V080BD36AA's blower is equipped to handle 3 tons of cooling and Ameristar employs the standard B furnace cabinet width of 17.5 to match existing coil cabinets. This makes it easy to integrate the unit into a heating and cooling system.
- Control Board Terminals
- Adding a humidifier and electronic air cleaner into your HVAC system is a breeze with the M952V. The control board features terminals for wiring them directly to the furnace.
- Product Includes
- (1) Ameristar M952V080BD36AA Gas-Fired Furnace
- (3) Horizontal Support Brackets
- (1) 2" x 3" Reducing Vent Coupling
Ameristar specializes in providing homeowners with superior comfort at an incredible value. The M952V is their premium gas-fired furnace. It features a two-stage gas valve and a variable speed fan. These components allow the unit to scale its output to your home's demand, reducing energy use without compromising your comfort. The M952V080BD36AA is a great fit for older homes or new construction. It is designed for ease of installation with support for downflow or horizontal right orientation and single or dual pipe venting. Corrosion isn't a concern thanks to the unit's condensate trap and the combination of a hot surface ignition system and a solid state flame monitor provide safe heating and peace of mind for homeowners. If you're looking to upgrade your home's energy efficiency and the quality of your comfort in one fell swoop, the M952V is the furnace for you.

Fuel Type
Fuel Type
To create heat, some form of fuel is required. Fuel Type specifies what the product uses as an input to create heat.
Natural Gas
Vent Type
Vent Type
Products that use combustion (burning) of fuel to create heat also create potentially dangerous gasses that need to be exhausted (AKA "Vented"). Depending on the product, venting can be done via a chimney, through a side wall, or use a second vent to provide fresh air to the appliance.
Direct Vent
Modulating/Staging
Modulating/Staging
Stages are unique speeds or levels that equipment can operate at. More stages allow for better fine-tuned control of output, which improves comfort and efficiency. Modulating equipment can operate across a range of levels, giving the highest level of fine-tuned control. Learn More
Two Stage
Blower Type
Blower Type
Blower type describes the motor that powers the fan in the unit. PSC multi-speed is the standard motor that operates with pre-set fan speed levels. ECM multi-speed are more efficient but still operate with pre-set fan speeds. Finally, ECM variable-speed motors are also energy efficient and automatically adjust to changing system conditions.
ECM Variable-Speed
Configuration
Configuration
Orientation describes the direction that air will flow through a piece of equipment. (e.g. air will flow horizontally through a "Horizontal" unit heater.) Most equipment will only function properly if installed in the proper orientation.

Performance
AFUE
AFUE
AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) measures the efficiency of combustion equipment over the entire heating season, and is calculated by dividing the amount of energy that is actually heating your home by the total energy contained in the fuel used by the boiler/furnace. Learn More

Ameristar M952V080BD36AA Reviews & Ratings

Great value for the $$ BUT...

Review Posted 07/14/2018
As noted before Ameristar is the budget line of Trane & American Standard. Overall I'm VERY happy with this unit. It's a perfect fit to replace an old Carrier 9200 other than one side being 3/8" taller so the existing ducting had to be wrestled into place. It fired right up and cycled on and off just fine.

It's a Trane

Review Posted 01/29/2016
Ameristar furnaces ARE the same as Trane and American standard furnaces (per trane tech support), except they don't have a painted finish. Even made in the same Trenton NJ factory. This furnace is about 40% cheaper here, on this site, than the same model in a Trane is from the local distributor.
