Who Makes Gibson Furnaces?

Nordyne, under a licensed trademark. Nordyne also builds Maytag, Frigidaire and Intertherm equipment, and its parent, Nortek Global HVAC, was bought by Rheem in October 2024.

Does Gibson Make an Oil Furnace?

No. Gibson's furnace lineup is gas only, rated from 80% up to 96% AFUE.

Is a Two-Stage Gibson Furnace Worth It?

For most homes, yes. It runs at low fire for longer stretches, which Gibson says gives quieter operation and more even temperatures than a single-stage furnace.

How Do I Get the 10-Year Gibson Parts Warranty?

Register the furnace. Gibson says registration extends parts coverage from 3 to 10 years, and we register every Gibson furnace we install.

Can a Gibson Furnace Go in My Attic?

Usually. Gibson's single-stage furnaces come in a horizontal version, and we check attic access, venting and the condensate drain before recommending it.

About Gibson Furnaces

We install, repair and service Gibson furnaces across Long Island, and we stock the common parts. Gibson furnaces burn natural gas, so they're a fit for homes with gas at the street or a forced air system that's ready for a new furnace.

Gibson's own site lists gas furnaces next to its air conditioners, heat pumps, packaged systems and ductless splits. The footer reads "Gibson trademark used under license. (c) Nordyne 2026," so the furnaces come out of Nordyne's factories rather than a separate Gibson plant.

Nordyne also builds Maytag, Frigidaire and Intertherm equipment. Rheem announced on October 7, 2024 that it had completed its purchase of Nortek Global HVAC, Nordyne's parent, from Madison Industries. Gibson sells through distributors and contractors, and its site says every unit is checked at the factory with a patented process it calls Demand Flow Technology.

Good to Know

Gibson Furnace Features

SmartLite ignition: Gibson says it learns the furnace's startup pattern to stretch igniter life.
Heavy-gauge cabinet: Gibson describes a scratch-resistant steel cabinet.
Factory testing: Gibson says each unit is checked by a computer-automated system, not a random sample.
Matching cooling: the same ducts and coil can carry a Gibson central air conditioner or heat pump.

Long Island Homes

Gibson Furnaces for Long Island Homes

Gibson furnaces run on gas only; the lineup has no oil furnace. If your house heats with oil today, a Gibson needs gas service first, which is the job on our oil to gas conversion on Long Island page. Homes that want to stay on oil can compare the oil furnace makers on our furnace brands page.

Where the furnace goes decides which model fits. Ranch houses and Capes often have the furnace in a closet or attic, where a horizontal or downflow unit fits better than an upflow one, while a basement furnace is usually upflow. A 96% AFUE furnace also needs plastic venting out a side wall and a condensate drain, so we check where both can run before you choose.

Gibson lists no cold-climate data for its heat pumps. In a home pairing a Gibson heat pump with a Gibson gas furnace, the furnace handles the coldest weeks of a Nassau or Suffolk winter.

Warranty

Gibson Furnace Warranty

Gibson advertises a 10-year limited parts warranty. Its furnace page says registering the product extends parts coverage from 3 years to 10, so we register it for you after the install.

Gibson's site doesn't list heat exchanger terms, so we check the warranty certificate that comes with your model and leave a copy with you.

On top of the manufacturer's coverage, Domino backs every installation with a 1-year labor warranty.

Compare Brands

Gibson vs Maytag Furnaces

Maytag is Gibson's closest sister brand: Maytag's site says its equipment is made under license by Nordyne in O'Fallon, Missouri. Both come from the same company and both sell gas furnaces.

The difference is mostly the warranty. Maytag lists a 12-year limited parts warranty on its M1200 and M120 series and a limited lifetime heat exchanger warranty with registration. Gibson lists 10 years on parts with registration and doesn't publish heat exchanger terms on its site. If warranty length is your top priority, ask us to price both.

Repair & Service

Gibson Furnace Repair and Common Problems

These are the Gibson furnace calls we get most often and what usually causes them.

Clicks but won't light: a worn igniter or a dirty flame sensor. SmartLite extends igniter life, but igniters still wear out.
Lights, then shuts off: a dirty flame sensor that can't prove the flame.
Blows cool air and cycles off: a clogged filter overheating the heat exchanger and tripping the high limit switch.
Inducer runs but no ignition: a pressure switch problem or a blocked vent pipe.
Water around a high-efficiency furnace: a clogged condensate trap or drain line.
Blower hums but won't spin: a failed capacitor or blower motor.

Gibson Furnace Tune-Up and Parts

A yearly tune-up on a Gibson gas furnace covers the burners, igniter, flame sensor, filter, condensate drain and a heat exchanger check, and it catches a weak igniter before it quits on a cold night. We stock the common parts, including igniters, flame sensors, pressure switches and capacitors. Book it through our furnace service on Long Island page, or call for furnace repair if the heat is already out.
