WELCOME TO A NEW GENERATION
OF COMFORT
Congratulations! In light of rising energy costs, the 58MXA,
58MCA, 58MTA, and WeatherMaker Infinity, Multipoise, Gas-
Fired Condensing Furnaces are among the soundest investments
today’s homeowner can make.
Your new furnace is truly a triumph of technology in home heat-
ing. A revolutionary design employs 2 heat exchangers to
“squeeze” out the maximum amount of heat from the fuel con-
sumed. In fact, your new furnace is so efficient, over 90%* of the
heat generated during combustion is captured and delivered inside
your home. That is more than a 33%* increase in heating effi-
ciency over conventional furnaces.
These are among the most energy-efficient furnaces you can buy to-
day. They also are among the safest and most dependable. We are
proud of the technological advances incorporated into the design of
these furnaces. With only minimal care, your new furnace will deliver
many years of money-saving home comfort and enjoyment. Spend
just a few minutes with this manual to learn the operation of your new
furnace and the small amount of maintenance it takes to help keep it
operating at peak efficiency year after year.
*The output capacity and any representations of efficiency for this furnace are based on standard
U.S. Department of Energy test procedures.
