Residential Heating Showcase 2025
October 20, 2025
Every year, The ACHR NEWS introduces the latest heating equipment that is available for the upcoming winter season. Our intent is to help contractors prepare for this busy period by doing the research that will help them to distinguish between brands.
Like last year, this year’s Heating Showcase is split into two parts — residential and commercial. The residential/ light commercial information is below, and the commercial equipment will be featured in the November ˜17 issue. Included in the coverage is feature-specific information about each individual product that was submitted by the manufacturers.
The showcase features the product grid, which includes technical facts such as unit tonnage, refrigerant type, efficiency rating, and heating capacity. The photo feature below provides more in-depth information on the features of each individual unit and also includes technical support information from the manufacturer.
The manufacturers provided all of the data included in the product grid, as well as in the photo feature; therefore, any questions should be directed to them via the contact information provided in the photo feature section.

Additional features: At 97% AFUE, the York Y92E delivers both high-efficiency heating and remarkable cost savings. A standard, high-efficiency five-speed ECM fan motor achieves enhanced SEER2 ratings and meets the requirements for 25C tax credits, rebates, and other incentives. Plus, the compact, 33-inch footprint and multi-position configuration make Y92E a flexible solution for homeowners who value efficiency and precision comfort.
Warranty information: A lifetime limited heat exchanger and 10-year parts limited warranties are available with registration. A 10-year Complete Assurance limited warranty pledge states that if the heat exchanger fails within 10 years of installation, an optional furnace replacement is provided in lieu of heat exchanger replacement.
Special installation requirements: The York Y92E is engineered for ease of installation. The two-stage furnace can be easily applied in upflow, horizontal left or right, or downflow installation with minimal conversion necessary. Electrical knockouts have been eliminated to save time during installation, and new fold-up duct flanges further simplify the process. Additionally, contractors can quickly access equipment information and troubleshooting support remotely via the DS Solutions app, a free resource designed to streamline installation and service.
