Bryant 830SALegacy™ 80 Ultra-Low NOx Gas Furnace
80%
Single-Stage
CARB Certified
California Air Resources Board certified Ultra-Low NOx furnace. Clean emissions, simple venting, and proven reliability for Portland homeowners who want environmentally-friendly heating.
How the Bryant 830SA Solves Portland Heating Challenges
Clean emissions, simple installation, and proven reliability for Pacific Northwest homes
Clean Air for Portland
The 830SA meets California Air Resources Board (CARB) Ultra-Low NOx standards, producing 85% less nitrogen oxide emissions than standard furnaces. Perfect for environmentally-conscious Portland homeowners and required in air quality districts.
Reduce your home's environmental impact while meeting the strictest emissions standards in the nation.
Budget-Friendly Replacement
Replacing an old 60-70% AFUE furnace? The 830SA provides 80% efficiency at an entry-level price point. Non-condensing design means simple venting - no need for PVC exhaust modifications or condensate drains.
Lower upfront cost with standard B-vent metal flue - reuse your existing chimney venting.
Moderate Portland Winters
Portland averages only 35-50°F in winter with rare hard freezes. For homes with good insulation, 80% efficiency provides adequate heat at a fraction of the cost of 95%+ furnaces.
Save $2,000-4,000 on equipment and installation compared to high-efficiency condensing models.
Simple Proven Technology
Fixed-speed PSC blower and single-stage operation mean fewer electronic components to fail. Any HVAC technician can service this furnace - no specialized training required for complex variable-speed systems.
Lower repair costs and easier part availability for long-term reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Bryant 830SA
What does Ultra-Low NOx mean for the 830SA furnace?
The 830SA meets California Air Resources Board (CARB) Ultra-Low NOx standards, producing 85% less nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions compared to standard 80% AFUE furnaces. NOx contributes to smog and air pollution. While Oregon doesn't currently require low-NOx furnaces, the 830SA provides cleaner combustion for environmentally-conscious Portland homeowners. The special burner design and combustion chamber geometry achieve ultra-low emissions while maintaining 80% efficiency.
Does the 830SA require special venting like high-efficiency furnaces?
No, the 830SA is a non-condensing furnace that uses traditional Category I metal B-vent (also called Type-B vent). This is the same metal flue pipe that older furnaces use, often venting through an existing masonry chimney. Unlike 90%+ AFUE condensing furnaces that require PVC piping and condensate drains, the 830SA has simpler venting requirements. This makes installation easier and less expensive, especially in homes with existing metal venting systems.
How does the 830SA compare to Bryant's other 80% AFUE furnaces?
The Bryant Legacy lineup includes several 80% AFUE models. The 830SA is specifically designed for Ultra-Low NOx emissions compliance. The standard 800S and 810S models (also 80% AFUE) don't have the ultra-low NOx certification. The 830SA uses a more advanced burner system to reduce emissions while the 800S/810S prioritize lower cost. If you value cleaner air quality and don't need California compliance, the 800S or 810S may cost $200-400 less than the 830SA.
