Amana ACSS92: Entry-Level Furnace for Reliable Home Heating

DISCONTINUED: Please note that the ACSS92 has been discontinued by Amana. It may still be available for purchase through select distributors and contractors.

The Amana ACSS92 is an entry-level, single-stage furnace with a multi-speed blower motor and an AFUE of 92 percent. Designed as an affordable option, it provides reliable heating with some efficiency-enhancing features that more basic models may lack.

Average Price (with installation): $4,200–$4,800

Top Features

Multi-Speed Blower Motor: Offers more consistent temperatures and quieter operation compared to single-speed motors.
Secondary Heat Exchanger: Reduces fuel waste and heat loss for improved efficiency.
Continuous Air Circulation: Keeps air moving through the home and maintains filtration.
Quiet and Durable Design: Heavy-gauge steel cabinet reduces noise and protects internal components.

Bottom Line

The ACSS92 is one of Amana’s most affordable furnaces. With a single-stage burner, 92% AFUE, and no ENERGY STAR® certification, it’s best suited for smaller homes or temperate climates.

For larger homes or colder regions, a two-stage or modulating furnace may be better equipped to maintain comfort during extreme winter conditions.

Despite its simplicity, the ACSS92 includes a secondary heat exchanger and multi-speed blower motor, which can provide savings on energy bills compared to older, less efficient furnaces.

AFUE: 92%
Burner Type: Single-stage
Blower Type: Multi-speed
Heating Capacity: 36,800–110,400 BTUs

Durable Tubular Heat Exchanger: Longer-lasting than standard designs.

Lifetime Heat Exchanger Warranty – Covers the heat exchanger for life.
10-Year Parts Warranty – Covers all functional components except the heat exchanger.

Note: The ACSS92 does not include the unit replacement warranty offered on higher-tier Amana furnaces. To maintain full warranty coverage, register the furnace within 60 days of installation and ensure professional HVAC installation with annual maintenance.
