Carrier 59SC2 Specification

The Carrier 59SC2 is a high-efficiency gas furnace designed to deliver reliable and energy-efficient heating solutions for residential use. It features a single-stage gas valve and a fixed-speed, PSC (permanent split capacitor) blower motor, ensuring consistent airflow and temperature management across various home environments. The furnace operates with an AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) of up to 92.1%, reflecting its capability to convert a significant portion of fuel into usable heat, thus optimizing energy consumption and reducing utility costs.

The 59SC2 model is equipped with a durable primary heat exchanger made from aluminized steel, enhancing its longevity and corrosion resistance. It also includes a Power Heat™ hot surface ignition system, which is reliable and eliminates the need for a traditional pilot light, further improving safety and efficiency. The furnace is designed with a compact 33-inch cabinet, making it suitable for various installation spaces, including tight or constrained areas.

Additionally, the unit incorporates advanced features like SmartEvap™ technology, which reduces humidity in the home by allowing moisture to drain from the evaporator coil during cooling operation. The furnace supports a multi-position configuration, allowing for upflow, downflow, or horizontal installation to accommodate different layout requirements. It is compatible with a range of thermostats, including programmable and Wi-Fi-enabled models, providing flexibility in temperature control and integration with smart home systems. The Carrier 59SC2 is designed for ease of maintenance with accessible components and a self-diagnostic control board that simplifies troubleshooting and ensures efficient operation over its lifespan.
