Bryant 830CAEvolution™ 80 Ultra-Low NOx Gas Furnace
80%
<14 ng/J NOx
Variable-Speed
Ultra-Low NOx certified furnace meeting California SCAQMD Rule 1111. Cleanest-burning 80% AFUE furnace with variable-speed comfort and standard venting.
How the Bryant 830CA Solves Portland Heating Challenges
Ultra-clean combustion technology meeting the nation's strictest air quality standards
Ultra-Low NOx Emissions
The 830CA produces less than 14 ng/J NOx emissions, meeting California's strictest South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1111 requirements. While not currently required in Oregon, this ultra-clean combustion technology reduces smog-forming nitrogen oxides by 75% compared to standard furnaces.
Cleanest-burning 80% AFUE furnace available, future-proofing against potential Oregon air quality regulations.
Attic and Garage Installations
Like the 880TA, the 830CA is a non-condensing design with standard metal venting—no PVC drain lines to freeze in unconditioned spaces. Perfect for Portland homes with attic or garage furnace locations where condensing models create freeze risks.
Ultra-low emissions AND no freeze concerns in unconditioned installation spaces.
California Compliance for Relocations
Many Portland homeowners move to California for work or retirement. Homes with 830CA furnaces already meet California's strictest air quality standards, adding marketability and simplifying potential future relocations to SCAQMD districts.
Investment in ultra-clean technology that meets the nation's most stringent air quality requirements.
Variable-Speed Comfort on a Budget
While single-stage, the 830CA features a variable-speed ECM blower that continuously circulates air at low speed. This provides more even temperatures and better comfort than standard single-speed blowers, at 50% lower electrical consumption.
Whisper-quiet comfort with ultra-low emissions at an affordable price point.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Bryant 830CA
What makes the 830CA 'Ultra-Low NOx' certified?
The 830CA produces less than 14 ng/J (nanograms per joule) of nitrogen oxide emissions, meeting California's SCAQMD Rule 1111—the nation's most stringent air quality standard. This is achieved through advanced burner technology that optimizes the air-fuel mixture and combustion temperature. Ultra-Low NOx furnaces reduce smog-forming pollutants by 75% compared to standard furnaces (55+ ng/J) and 65% compared to typical "low NOx" models (40 ng/J). While not currently required in Oregon, this certification demonstrates the 830CA's commitment to environmental responsibility and future-proofs against potential regulatory changes.
Is the 830CA required in Oregon or just California?
Currently Ultra-Low NOx certification is only required in certain California air quality management districts, primarily the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) covering Los Angeles and Orange County areas. Oregon does not currently mandate Ultra-Low NOx furnaces. However, Portland homeowners choose the 830CA for several reasons: environmental consciousness, future-proofing against potential Oregon air quality regulations, home marketability if relocating to California, and supporting cleaner air quality voluntarily. The 830CA provides the same reliable heating as standard 80% furnaces while significantly reducing harmful emissions.
How does the 830CA compare to the standard 880TA?
Both are 80% AFUE non-condensing Evolution Series furnaces with variable-speed ECM blowers and standard metal venting. The key difference is emissions: the 830CA produces <14 ng/J NOx (Ultra-Low NOx certified) while the 880TA produces ~40 ng/J (standard Low NOx). Both offer the same comfort features—variable-speed airflow, Evolution zoning compatibility, and no freeze concerns in attics/garages. The 830CA typically costs slightly more due to its specialized ultra-clean burner technology. For Portland homeowners prioritizing environmental impact or planning potential moves to California, the 830CA is the better choice. For those focused solely on cost and comfort in Oregon, the 880TA offers excellent value.
