CARRIER INTRODUCES GAS FURNACE FOR CHIMNEY APPLICATIONS

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 30 -- Carrier Corporation's new gas furnace designed for exterior tile-lined masonry chimney applications, is easy and less costly to install because no chimney liner is required.

Model 58YAV's chimney adaptor kit can be installed from inside the home in less than 30 seconds because there are no parts to change out or move. In addition, it incorporates a unique draft safeguard feature, which shuts the furnace off when the chimney vent is blocked, preventing flue gas spillage.

The furnace's specially designed adaptor kit prevents condensation from building up in the chimney, which eliminates the need to install liners.

"With the 58YAV gas furnace, contractors no longer have to climb out on the roof to install the unit," said Bob Swilik, product manager, Carrier's Residential Product Group. "The adaptor kit's safeguard feature allows dealers to have peace of mind knowing they are selling a furnace with a critical safety feature no other manufacturer offers."
