Variable-Speed
High-efficiency condensing furnace with Ultra-Low NOx certification. 95% AFUE saves money, SCAQMD compliance protects the environment.
How the Bryant 935CA Solves Portland Heating Challenges
High efficiency meets ultra-clean emissions for maximum savings and environmental responsibility
High Efficiency + Ultra-Low Emissions
The 935CA uniquely combines 95% AFUE condensing efficiency with Ultra-Low NOx (<14 ng/J) certification. This means you get near-modulating fuel savings while reducing smog-forming pollutants by 75% compared to standard furnaces—the best of both worlds for environmentally conscious Portland homeowners.
Maximum efficiency AND cleanest combustion in a single-stage furnace platform.
Significant Annual Savings
At 95% AFUE, the 935CA saves Portland homeowners $400-600/year compared to 80% furnaces. With Portland's 2,000+ annual heating hours and NW Natural gas at $1.30/therm, only 5 cents of every dollar goes up the flue. Combined with variable-speed airflow reducing electrical costs 50%, total operating expenses drop dramatically.
Save $400-600 annually on gas bills vs. 80% AFUE models, plus lower electrical costs.
California Compliance + Oregon Efficiency
The 935CA meets both Oregon's preference for high-efficiency heating AND California's strictest air quality standards (SCAQMD Rule 1111). For Portland homeowners with second homes in California, planning relocations, or simply prioritizing environmental stewardship, the 935CA provides uncompromising performance.
Future-proof investment meeting both efficiency and emissions standards nationwide.
Variable-Speed Comfort & Quiet
While single-stage for gas firing, the 935CA features a variable-speed ECM blower that continuously circulates air at low speed. This eliminates the temperature swings and noise of standard blowers, providing consistent comfort throughout Portland's mild but lengthy heating season.
Whisper-quiet operation with even temperatures and 50% lower fan electricity consumption.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Bryant 935CA
Why choose the 935CA over a standard 95% AFUE furnace?
The 935CA offers 95% AFUE condensing efficiency PLUS Ultra-Low NOx (<14 ng/J) certification—a rare combination. Most 95% furnaces produce 40+ ng/J emissions, while the 935CA reduces smog-forming pollutants by 75%. This makes the 935CA ideal for Portland homeowners who want maximum efficiency AND environmental responsibility. The 935CA qualifies for Energy Trust of Oregon rebates (high efficiency) while meeting California SCAQMD Rule 1111 (clean emissions). While slightly more expensive than standard 95% models, the 935CA future-proofs against potential Oregon air quality regulations and adds marketability if relocating to California.
How does the 935CA compare to the two-stage 986T?
Both are high-efficiency Evolution Series furnaces with variable-speed ECM blowers, but differ in gas firing and emissions. The 935CA is single-stage (on/off) with 95% AFUE and <14 ng/J Ultra-Low NOx certification. The 986T is two-stage (65%/100%) with 96.7% AFUE and standard Low NOx emissions (~40 ng/J). The 986T provides slightly better comfort through two-stage operation, while the 935CA offers cleaner combustion at marginally lower efficiency. For Portland homes prioritizing environmental impact or California compliance, the 935CA is superior. For maximum comfort and efficiency without emissions focus, the 986T excels. Both qualify for Energy Trust rebates and offer variable-speed comfort.
Does the 935CA require special venting or installation?
Yes, as a 95% AFUE condensing furnace, the 935CA requires PVC, CPVC, or ABS venting (2" or 3" diameter) instead of traditional metal flues. Condensing technology extracts so much heat that exhaust gases cool below water vapor's condensation point, producing acidic condensate that corrodes metal vents. PVC piping safely handles these cooler, acidic exhaust gases and condensate drainage. Installation also requires a condensate drain line (typically routed to a floor drain or exterior). While this adds $500-1,500 to installation vs. standard vent furnaces, the 935CA's $450-650/year savings vs. 80% models provides rapid payback. Most Portland homes in conditioned basements or crawlspaces easily accommodate PVC venting and condensate drainage.
