York variable speed blowers
Whether you live in an arid, temperate or humid climate, you can now enjoy an ideal level of comfort at all times. Thanks to the variable speed ECM motor of the JHC and JMC blowers, your installer will only need to set the airflow for your system: the blower then adjusts its speed to the demand.
A stable temperature, according to York
Variable-speed ECM (premium) motors adapt their operation to the exact speed required, using less energy over time and reducing noise levels. This provides a more comfortable space and more efficient operation.
Other blowers
The temperature swings between 70 and 74 °F (21 to 23 °C)
Variable speed blowers
The temperature stays steady at 72 °F (22 °C)

Thanks to the modulation of the York electric furnace, you are always in your comfort zone
The colder the weather, the more heat your home loses and so does the demand for heating. Depending on the time of day and the efficiency of your generator, you may experience significant temperature variations. Understanding the distinctions between different types of electric furnaces will help you make the right choice and stay in your comfort zone. York JHC and JMC variable speed blowers have been designed to maintain the temperature at an ideal level: their ECM motor adapts its operation to the exact speed required. The heating and ventilation regime automatically adjusts to compensate for heat loss to the outside of the house, which increases the level of comfort dramatically.
York design engine
The variable speed system of York JHC and JMC electric furnaces is based on a high-efficiency electronically commutated motor (ECM). Thus the fan speed varies according to the demand to circulate the air longer and the hot air no longer stagnates at the ceilings. So prolonged low-speed ventilation is much quieter, reduces indoor humidity and increases the efficiency of the system. The result is more comfort at all times, whether you live in a dry, humid or temperate region.
The nine-speed ECM motor that comes standard with York electric furnaces will give you uniform ventilation throughout the house. They have two configurations to meet all your comfort requirements. JHC and JMC models include a variable speed motor that will deliver exactly the right amount of air in your ducts.

The three types of electric furnace
Fixed speed electric furnace
This furnace has one or more ventilation speeds, however it cannot modulate the air velocity because these are fixed speeds (fixed CFM), so you must choose a speed that will be adapted to your ducts (the heating technician adjust your furnace during installation). The electric elements also have a fixed sound, you can however choose 2.5kW, 5kW and 15kW (depending on the capacity of your furnace)
Electric furnace with variable electric elements
Again, this furnace will not be able to modulate ventilation (like the previous furnace), it is only equipped with fixed speed. However, this furnace can modulate the power of these electrical elements thanks to an electronic card which will calculate the load of BTU / h necessary to heat your home thanks to the temperature sensors included in the furnace. This furnace is more efficient and more energy efficient than a fixed speed furnace because it only produces the kW needed to heat your home without wasting energy.
Variable speed electric furnace
This furnace is the best in its class, the fan is equipped with an ECM motor, this means that the motor will adjust the ventilation (CFM) according to what you really need in BTU / h. This electric furnace will be quieter thanks to a better quality motor and much less noisy. In addition, the electric elements are equipped with modulation (like the previous furnace). This is a huge advantage because the 2 main components (fan and electrical elements) communicate together thanks to the electronic card. The electrical elements heat in parallel with the ECM motor. So if you want to save on your heating bill, variable electric furnaces are an excellent choice for saving energy!
(York electric furnaces are compatible with central heat pumps: coil designed for R-454B refrigerant in one-piece models, existing coil with modular models.)

Frequently asked questions about the York electric furnace
Which York electric blower should I choose: multi-speed or variable speed?
The JHE and JME have a nine-speed ECM motor, which offers great application flexibility. The JHC and JMC have a variable-speed ECM motor: the blower adapts its operation to the exact speed required, which keeps the temperature stable, uses less energy and reduces noise, according to York. An advisor determines the model during the free estimate.
What is the difference between a one-piece blower and a modular blower?
The one-piece blower (JHE, JHC) includes its coil, designed for R-454B refrigerant, with a thermostatic expansion valve and a refrigerant detection system installed at the factory. The modular blower (JME, JMC) is the blower alone, 22 ¾ in. high: it sits on an existing coil, for an upgrade. With an 8HK heater kit, it can also serve as a stand-alone electric furnace, York specifies.
What heating output does a York electric furnace offer?
The heat comes from an 8HK kit installed in the blower: 2.4 · 4.8 · 7.7 · 9.6 · 14.4 · 19.2 or 24 kW at 240 V (York also lists them from 2.5 to 25 kW). The blower sets the maximum: 9.6 kW for 1.5 tons, 14.4 kW for a 2-ton one-piece blower, 19.2 kW for most others, 24 kW for the 24 ½ in. cabinets of 4 or 5 tons. Kits of 14.4 kW and up heat in two stages.
Does a York electric furnace work with a heat pump?
Yes. York blowers are used for air conditioning or with a heat pump, with or without electric heat, and work with one- or two-stage outdoor units. The one-piece models have a coil designed for R-454B refrigerant.
What is the warranty on York electric furnaces?
York offers a 10-year limited warranty on parts. The product must be registered online within 90 days of installation; otherwise, the warranty is 5 years on parts. All limited warranties are subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions of the product’s limited warranty statement. Labour is guaranteed for 10 years.
Where can a York electric furnace be installed?
Almost anywhere: the multi-position design allows upflow, downflow or horizontal airflow, and the cabinet, 21 in. deep at most, fits in a closet, a utility room, an attic, a crawl space or a basement.
How much does an installed York electric furnace cost?
The price depends on the model, the size, the heater kit and your ducts. Ask for a free estimate: an advisor recommends the right model, with no commitment.
