The Silver 95 can draw combustion air directly from outside the home rather than using indoor air. This helps:
Improve indoor air quality
Reduce drafts caused by pressure imbalances
Extend the furnace’s operating life
These burners precisely control the fuel-to-air mixture, ensuring efficient combustion and consistent heat output while reducing overall fuel consumption.
A heavy-duty steel heat exchanger combined with a sound- and heat-insulated cabinet helps reduce operating noise and heat loss while improving long-term durability.
The durable hot surface igniter replaces a traditional pilot light, providing safer, more reliable ignition with lower energy usage.
With a 95% AFUE rating, the American Standard Silver 95 converts nearly all fuel into usable heat. This efficiency level meets modern Canadian standards and provides noticeable savings compared to older 80% furnaces, especially during extended winter heating seasons.
Thanks to its fully insulated cabinet, the Silver 95 operates quietly for a single-stage furnace. While it does not include a variable-speed blower, noise levels remain comfortably low for most residential installations, making it suitable for basements and utility rooms near living spaces.
