YORK® product
YORK® TM8V
The TM8V pairs two-stage heating with a variable-speed, communicating-capable blower in the standard-efficiency (80% class) tier. The low first stage covers mild Central Texas cold fronts quietly and evenly; full fire is there for hard freezes. The variable blower also improves year-round air circulation and cooling performance — a benefit you use all twelve months.

YORK® TM8V
The TM8V pairs a two-stage burner with York's variable-speed premium ECM blower in the 80% AFUE class — the comfort configuration for homes that don't need condensing efficiency. The low first stage carries mild Texas cold fronts quietly and evenly; full fire stands by for the genuine freezes.
The variable-speed blower is the part you feel year-round. It ramps gently instead of slamming on, circulates air at a whisper between calls, and — critically for us — sharpens summer air-conditioning performance and humidity control, because the same blower drives your cooling airflow. ClimaTrak humidity logic tunes its behavior to our climate profile.
It's communicating-capable, integrating with the Hx3 control and zoning system for self-diagnostics and finer staging, and it converts to propane where needed. Lifetime heat exchanger coverage on registered units makes the ownership math straightforward.
Every install starts with a free in-home assessment and a flat written price — no surprises. Call 512-528-4258 or request service online.

From the field
Owning this system in Central Texas
Owners feel the TM8V most in shoulder seasons: long, quiet low-fire cycles that hold rooms within a degree. If you're coming from a single-stage furnace, expect more runtime at lower intensity — the gas meter, not the run hours, is what to watch.
Pair it deliberately: with a two-stage AC (YXT class) and the Hx3, its variable-speed blower serves staged cooling all summer. That pairing is where the 80% two-stage-variable configuration outruns its efficiency class in real comfort per dollar.
Where it sits in the line: it's the 80%-class twin of the TM9V — same two-stage burner, same variable-speed blower, non-condensing venting. Choose between them on venting practicality and gas usage: heavy heaters with easy PVC routing lean TM9V; short-season homes with existing metal flues lean TM8V. Either way the summer airflow benefit rides along.
