DALLAS, Oct. 7, 2026 – Today, Bosch Home Comfort Group launched the YORK® Y82V and Y92V 2-Stage Variable Speed Furnaces, which deliver quiet, efficient comfort all year long. The Y82V is an 80% annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) non-condensing furnace, which is an ideal primary or backup heat source in milder climates. For colder regions, the Y92V is an ENERGY STAR® 5.0-rated, 97% AFUE condensing furnace that helps improve energy efficiency and reduce utility costs over time. "We know our customers and contractor partners are highly satisfied with the YORK® furnace portfolio and the value it has delivered over the years," said Lester Sherrow, product leader of furnace line, Bosch Home Comfort Group Americas. “In developing the new Y82V and Y92V, we built on the solid performance, reliability and ease of installation that our partners expect, adding new features that enhance year-round comfort, efficiency and serviceability.” By combining two-stage operation with variable-speed airflow, these furnaces deliver more consistent temperatures, quieter performance and improved overall comfort all year long. They can also reduce humidity in the summer, improve indoor air quality and reduce hot and cold spots in the home. Designed with the installer in mind, the Y82V and Y92V are engineered to simplify installation, commissioning and service, helping contractors save time while delivering a high-quality homeowner experience. Key features include: Digital commissioning with three 7-segment LED readouts allows installers to set airflow faster and more accurately align thermostat and furnace-control settings Contractor-friendly cabinet design that accommodates the installation of an electrical box and/or disconnect switch, providing easier service access and more working space Easily accessible service components , including flame sensors, igniters and blowers, help reduce maintenance time and simplify routine service calls Improved duct flanges make coil installation and supply-air connections easier Internally vented downflow kits provide greater application flexibility for the condensing furnaces, especially in narrow closets and other tight spaces. An advanced internal condensate trap provides conversion to horizontal and downflow applications “A professional installation is key to a great system experience,” said Sherrow. “Installation lays the foundation for long-term system performance and homeowner satisfaction. That's why we engineered the YORK® Y82V and Y92V to help contractors more confidently install and service systems, so they can deliver the dependable comfort and performance homeowners expect."
