RUUD Provides Relief To High Heating Bills
We Offer The Most Efficient Gas Furnaces, Including The Ruud Achiever®
Modulating 90 Plus® With Contour Comfort Control®
If you need a new furnace, call us, your local Ruud Dealer.
Our award winning furnace line has been recognized as
leading the industry in innovation and performance and
you get it all with the Ruud brands time-tested reliability.
Reliable Comfort Solutions for Your Home
The Ruud 90 Plus® high efficiency gas furnaces
are the flagships of the Ruud Premium Line.
Designed specifically to lower energy bills, even
in the coldest climates, these gas furnaces are the
most advanced furnaces on the market.
The furnace is the most important component of
a central heating system. It houses all the working
parts. So when you replace the furnace, you replace
the vital operating parts of your heating system. It
is by choosing from among the different models
and brands of furnaces available that you determine
the quality and cost of your business’s heating for
years to come.
These days, home owners search for all the
value they can find in every household purchase
they make. So when the time comes to replace a
furnace in an existing central heating system, or to
install a totally new system, you want equipment
that minimizes costs and delivers reliable office
comfort for your family – season after season.
Here’s a look at some things to consider.
What do Good Furnaces Have in Common?
The best furnaces are efficient. They keep a
home warm and comfortable. They provide steady,
reliable performance year after year. And they are
quiet, long-lasting and low in service frequency
and cost.
Which Furnaces are Energy Efficient?
When a furnace loses or wastes heat, it requires
more energy to keep your home warm. Some
furnaces lose heat through the walls of the furnace
cabinet. Energy-efficient furnaces like Ruud’s full
line of state-of-the-art models significantly reduce
this loss with a blanket of insulation that lines the
inside of the cabinet walls.

Pilot lights also can be wasteful. The electric
ignition in many of Ruud’s furnaces eliminates the
need for a constantly burning pilot. This feature
alone gives up to 6% higher efficiency. And in
combination with an induced-draft blower, can
improve furnace efficiencies by over 20%.
Most gas furnaces vent combustion by-products
and gases by allowing the warm air to rise
naturally. However, on occasion, proper venting
of combustion by-products may be restricted due
to blockage, deterioration of venting systems,
malfunctions or other causes.
The Ruud induced-draft blower maintains a
constant draft through the heat exchanger, which
assures proper venting of the furnace combustion
chamber. Ruud also features a pressure switch
which continuously monitors venting; and in
the event it senses a vent flow restriction, it will
automatically shut down your heating system for
your safety.
The most efficient furnaces tap the energy of
the hot vent gases – which can reach temperatures
of 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and more. The Ruud
90 Plus® gas furnace does this by routing the hot
gases through a secondary heat exchanger. This
step captures the otherwise wasted heat—using it
to preheat the household air—and delivers AFUE
ratings up to 94.5%
The Achiever 90 Plus with Contour Comfort
Control modulates it output based on the
temperature setting of the thermostat. This means
the furnace is seldom “off ” and seldom “on” and
full capacity. Instead, your home is “blanketed” in
a consistently and comfortably warm environment
without the hot and cold spots produced by a
typical gas furnace.
The Achiever 90 Plus with Dual Comfort
Control utilizes two heating levels to keep your
home comfortable. Most of the time the furnace
operates in its energy-saving “low heat” mode,
which delivers a gentle and steady flow of heating
comfort. The burner flame is smaller and the
blower operates more slowly, which uses less
energy and saves you money on your energy bill.
On the coldest days, when you need more heat, the
furnace automatically switches to its “high-heat”
mode to deliver the maximum heating comfort.
A high-efficiency furnace generally wears a
higher price tag, but it can make up the difference
by reducing operating costs over the long run.
And with today’s consumer interest in efficiency,
such equipment enhances the bottom line of your
home.
What should I look for in a dealer?

community. You want one who’s close by to provide
you faster, more convenient service.

Two heat exchangers - primary and a secondary - extract more heat from
the burner than any less efficient furnace. So you ave on energy because
you get more heating output from each ounce of natural gas. Both heat
exchangers are made of stainless steel and carry a limited lifetime
warranty.
2
The integrated, two-stage control board directs activities of the gas
valve and blower to efficiently keep your home at its comfortable best.
3
The two-stage gas valve adjusts the flow of gas to the burner, providing
“low heat” and “high heat” as needed for maximum fuel efficiency.
4
A permanent, washable filter makes it easy to keep a clean filter in
place. No more filters to buy or store. A clean filter helps your furnace
run more efficiently and can improve the indoor air quality of your home.

Lifebreath has the answer to today’s
air quality problems
Pollution is everywhere - in the streets, at your
workplace, on the highway, at school, even in
your own home. If
fact the EPA points
out that indoor air
within our houses is
often more seriously
polluted than the
outdoor air, even in
the largest and most
industrialized cities.

sure your home
environment is as
healthy as it can be!
Get rid of indoor pollution
Indoor air is loaded with contaminants that
affect health and sap energy. Smoke particles,
bacteria, pet dander, dust and dust mites, pollen
and fungus spores - you breath them in again and
again, waking and sleeping.
Lifebreath TFP makes your home a safe haven
from pollution - and if you suffer from allergies,
you’ll breath a sigh of relief!
Fresh air in every room!
If your home is built to conserve energy you
probably experience a second air quality problem
- stale air. Air-tight construction means air is
trapped inside the
home where it is
breathed over and
over again. Health
and comfort suffer
with the consequent
build up of smells,
humidity and carbon
dioxide levels.
