Two-stage heat, one serious commitment to performance

Conventional furnaces are either off or on. But the EL296E can output heat at two different intensities, allowing it to fine-tune your comfort and your energy use in perfect balance.

Makes your air feel great, even in the summer

The EL296E also has the power to make your home feel better during summer months. By operating at its lower speed, air spends more time in contact with the outside coil, the cooling engine of your air-conditioning unit. This helps reduce moisture levels inside your home to enhance your comfort.

We figured we might save a few dollars however when we get our bills we cannot believe the saving over the previous furnace.

Annoying Noise

December 27, 2020

We just moved into our new home, 3800 sf luxury home and the Lennox air and heating is working great but when the gas furnace runs, it makes a loud annoying cherping/squeaking sound and the installer says it's normal?
