How the Bryant 987T Delivers Premium Comfort
Portland's Mild Winter Climate
Portland winters typically hover between 35-50°F, rarely needing full heating capacity. The 987T runs on low stage (65% capacity) most of the time, providing consistent warmth while using less gas.
Low-stage operation 80% of the time means lower gas bills and more even temperatures.
Premium Two-Stage Comfort
The 987T is Bryant's premium two-stage furnace, featuring enhanced components and the Red Shield warranty for maximum protection and peace of mind.
Premium construction and warranty coverage for homeowners wanting the best two-stage option.
High Efficiency Savings
At 96.7% AFUE, the 987T extracts nearly all heat from the gas it burns. Compare to 80% furnaces that waste 20 cents of every dollar on gas.
Save $500-700/year vs. 80% AFUE furnaces on Portland natural gas bills.
Variable-Speed Comfort
The 987T's variable-speed ECM blower adjusts airflow to maintain consistent comfort, eliminating hot/cold spots in multi-story Portland homes.
Even temperatures throughout your home with whisper-quiet operation.
