efficiency rating for big maxx 80k

[Jay87T]

Hi guys, just finishing up my install of my 80K unit. when setting up my thermostat it wants to know what the efficiency is, if its above or below 90% searched, cant find that rating anywhere.
Thanks.

That type of heater is typically 80% .... it the thermostat tracking cost ?

its a honeywell thermostat there is a set up menu on the cycle time of the furnace, and wants to know what the efficiency rating is for..not sure why.

Should be 81%.

It's a non-condensing unit - heaters of that type are typically 80-85% efficient. I believe the Big Max unit is closer to 80%. 81% sounds right.
