  • Shop smarter with our proprietary grades!

    In order to help homeowners shop for furnaces and air conditioners, we developed our own proprietary algorithms which weigh a range of criteria and factors to provide an easy-to-compare grade (e.g. B-, A+, etc).

    Warranty Grade: It can be difficult to know which brands and models offer the best warranty coverage, particularly because a lot of the key details are hidden in dense warranty documents filled with hard to understand legalese. Thankfully for you, we’ve carefully studied them and created this grading system to account for things like the length AND quality of their guarantee, coverage restrictions and more!

    Overall Grade: This grade weighs key factors like efficiency, ENERGY STAR certification, comfort, noise level (for A/Cs), our warranty grade, and more.

Features Explained 

Efficient variable-speed airflow and modulating burner - This modulating furnace will continuously read the temperature of your home, adjusting the fan speed and gas burner incrementally to deliver the most precise and consistent home heating, meaning energy bill savings for you.

Multiple continuous fan speed options - This furnace has a significantly reduced noise factor, compared with other brands and models. Because the DC97MC fan never has to accelerate from an “off” position to full speed, there is none of the banging or operational racket. 

Extensive warranty coverage - Daikin is unique in the furnace market, offering a one-year problem resolution guarantee. In addition, the Daikin DC97MC has a 12-year unit replacement limited warranty and a 12-year parts limited warranty. 

Other Key Features

  • ENERGY STAR ® Certified
  • Durable tubular stainless-steel heat exchanger 
  • Secondary stainless-steel heat exchanger 
  • Fully insulated heat exchanger and blower section
  • Utilizes ComfortNet™ communicating, two-stage or single-stage thermostats
  • Self-diagnostic control board with constant memory fault code history output to a dual 7-segment display

Warranty Information

The Daikin Comfort Promise stands not only behind its products but also its dealers. If you are unsatisfied, for any reason, within a year of your professional installation of your Daikin furnace, the installer will return, free of charge, and resolve any issues you are having. 

This unit is also covered by:

  • Lifetime limited heat exchanger warranty
  • 12-year unit replacement limited warranty
  • 12-year parts limited warranty

Comparable Models by The Same Brand

By lower price: Daikin DC97MC vs. Daikin DM92SS

While the Daikin DC97MC offers full-feature energy efficiency, the DM92SS’s exchanger cabinet is foil-faced insulated.. The DM92SS also offers a single-speed induced draft blower to the DC97MC’s multiple continuous fan speed options.

Daikin stands behind both units, but only the Daikin DC97MC has a 12-year unit replacement limited warranty. 

By features: Daikin DC97MC vs. Daikin DM97MC

These two models offer ENERGY STAR level efficiency. The DM97MC edges its competitor out by offering slightly higher energy efficiency, 97-98% AFUE. Both are dual-stage furnaces with variable-speed ECMs, but the Daikin DC97MC has a modulating burner. Both are highly efficient, but the Daikin DC97MC is just that much more precise. 

By tier: Daikin DC97MC vs. Daikin DC96HS

While the DC97MC boasts an AFUE of 97%, the model in the lower tier tops out with 95-96%. The sole energy efficient feature of the DC96HS is the fully insulated heat exchanger and blower section. The DC96HS offers a single-speed induced draft blower to the DC97MC’s multiple continuous fan speed options.

The warranty for the more modest model is similar, in that it also has a lifetime limited heat exchanger warranty and a 12-year parts limited warranty. The unit replacement limited warranty is only 6 years, however.
