Why choose the NDF Series?

Ndf-unit-wall

Consistent comfort

The NDF’s 2-stage gas valve adjusts heating output between low and high fire, helping maintain more consistent indoor temperatures than a single-stage furnace. Longer low-stage operation can also help reduce system noise and limit the temperature swings caused by full-output on/off cycling.

Variable-speed airflow

The variable-speed ECM blower supports efficient airflow, helping the system adapt to heating and cooling demand while using less electrical energy than conventional blower motors.

Humidity control

For enhanced cooling-season comfort, the NDF includes a climate compensation setting that increases moisture removal for high humidity environments.

IAQ compatible

The NDF Series supports common indoor air quality (IAQ) accessories including electronic air cleaners, humidifiers, and UV lights, making it easier to enhance your home comfort system.

Dual-fuel ready

The NDF can pair with a compatible heat pump as part of a dual-fuel system, allowing the home to use electric heat pump operation in milder weather and gas furnace performance when conditions call for it.

Durable heat exchangers

The NDF Series combines T140 aluminized primary heat exchanger tubes with a 29-4C stainless steel heat recovery coil. This design supports reliable heat transfer, corrosion resistance and long-term performance.

Flexible installation

With 4-way multi-position installation, zero-clearance capability and two cabinet widths, the NDF is designed to fit a wide range of replacement and new-construction applications. All NDF models can be installed in upflow, downflow, horizontal left or horizontal right configurations. Adaptive staging control also allows the NDF to deliver simulated two-stage heating when paired with a single-stage thermostat, providing added flexibility for a wider range of installations.

Service-friendly

Integrated diagnostics, modular blower and heat exchanger assemblies, flexible condensate trap mounting, and factory-fired testing help reduce startup issues, speed up troubleshooting, and make service calls smoother.

 

The NDF600 Advantage

Available in capacities ranging from 50k to 105k BTU/h, the NDF600 Series gas furnaces offer high-efficiency and reliable heating, even in cold-climate regions. The flexible design features integrated diagnostics and a modular construction that simplifies service, and each model is backed by exceptional customer service and a simple warranty process.

NDF FAQs

The NDF Series is a condensing forced-air residential gas furnace. It uses natural gas as standard and can be converted to propane with a conversion kit.

No. The NDF is a forced-air gas furnace. Navien’s NPF Series is our hydronic furnace line.

A 2-stage furnace can operate at two heating levels: low fire and high fire. Low fire helps maintain comfort during milder conditions, while high fire provides more heat when outdoor temperatures plummet.

A variable-speed ECM blower can adjust airflow based on system demand. That helps improve comfort, reduce unnecessary electrical use and support quieter operation compared to traditional fixed-speed blower motors that either run full blast, or not at all.

Yes. When properly configured, the NDF’s high-humidity setting can reduce indoor airflow for more moisture removal during cooling operation.

Yes. The NDF is dual-fuel compatible and can be paired with a heat pump, allowing the system to use electric or gas heating depending on outdoor conditions and system setup.

The NDF is designed for indoor installation in residential applications such as closets, alcoves, attics, basements, crawl spaces and utility rooms when installed according to the installation manual and local codes. Every NDF model supports upflow, downflow, horizontal left and horizontal right orientation. 

Yes. The NDF supports IAQ accessories such as electronic air cleaners, humidifiers and UV lights.

The NDF Series is ENERGY STAR (SOUTH) certified with a 96% AFUE rating.

No. The NDF is not an ultra-low NOx furnace and may not be suitable for regions with ultra-low NOx requirements. Our NPF furnace is ultra-low NOx.
