Upgrade your heat, lower your utility bills

The Power Saver™ constant-torque motor design uses less energy in both heating and cooling modes, helping you save on utility bills. Flexible airflow based on a home’s ductwork makes this furnace 33% more efficient than older furnaces, while also delivering high gas efficiency with the 96% AFUE.

Save money every month

With an energy rating of 96% AFUE, you pay for perfectly heated air, not wasted energy.

A smarter system

When this furnace is installed with a compatible Lennox heat pump, it creates a heating system that can switch back and forth between gas and electricity automatically, based on whichever is most cost-efficient for the weather conditions at the time.

Quiet Operation

  • SilentComfort™ Technology—delivers the ultimate in quiet, consistent heating
  • Special sound-absorbing insulation—further reduces sound for quiet operation
  • Durable steel cabinet—made to last with an attractive, high-quality textured paint finish

Home Comfort

  • Two-stage, gas valve—works with the variable speed motor to match furnace output to household heating needs
  • Enhanced humidity control—runs at different speeds to precisely control the flow of heated and cooled air throughout the home
  • Secondary heat exchanger—allows the furnace to achieve high efficiency levels by capturing additional heat
  • Low-speed fan—provides a consistent, continuous flow of warm air

Reliable Performance

  • Duralok Plus™ heat exchanger—made of patented ArmorTuf™ steel to ensure high reliability and efficiency
  • SureLight® igniter—silicone nitride construction ensures long product life and reliable operation
  • SureLight control board—controls furnace operation to ensure high reliability and efficiency
  • Multi-position models available

*Criteria used in this example are 2,000 full-load heating hours, with a 60,000 Btuh heating design load and $1.368 ccf for gas. Actual savings may vary, depending on the weather patterns in local area, local fuel rates and lifestyle.

**iComfort Wi-Fi® Touchscreen thermostat must be installed with an iComfort-enabled indoor unit for maximum performance.

FAQ's

The term "variable speed" refers to the furnace's indoor blower motor, which moves at different speeds to precisely control the flow of heated and cooled air throughout your home. Better airflow control has several benefits: Electrical efficiency Variable speed motors can actually save you money on your energy bills, as they consume less electricity than standard motors. Cooling efficiency Variable speed technology also means you will gain heating efficiency or AFUE. Zoning Variable speed motors are excellent for zoning, which allows you to customize your comfort in different areas of your home and control your energy bills. Air quality A variable speed motor can also help clean the air in your home. When the fan is in constant operation (indicated by the "Fan" setting on your thermostat), the motor will continue to slowly circulate air, allowing filters to capture more contaminants.
Two-stage heating means the furnace has two levels of heat output: high for cold winter days and low for milder days. Since the low setting is adequate to meet household heating demands 80% of the time, a two-stage unit runs for longer periods and provides more even heat distribution.
Whether you live in a warm or cold region, you are probably feeling the pinch of high utility bills. An ENERGY STAR® qualified comfort system can help you cut energy costs and save hundreds of dollars every year. A good sign ENERGY STAR is a U.S. government sponsored program that helps businesses and homeowners save energy and protect the environment by giving them the information they need to make smart choices about efficiency. A key component of this program is the ENERGY STAR label, which recognizes excellence in energy-efficient performance. Brilliant savings One of the strongest reasons for choosing an ENERGY STAR-labeled product over a conventional model is that it can deliver significant savings. An ENERGY STAR furnace can reduce your heating costs by as much as 40%. And an ENERGY STAR air conditioner can save you up to 50% on your cooling bills. Proper sizing and installation of equipment is critical to achieve optimal performance. Split system air conditioners and heat pumps must be matched with appropriate coil components to meet ENERGY Star® criteria. Ask your Lennox Dealer for details or visit www.energystar.gov. Extra credit If you install a new ENERGY STAR heating or cooling system, you may qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $500. You may also be eligible for utility rebates in your area. Cleaner global environment By creating a more efficient home environment, you are contributing to a cleaner global environment. According to the EPA, if just one in ten households installed ENERGY STAR heating and cooling products, the change would keep more than 17 billion pounds of pollution out of the air. More comfortable home environment Advanced technologies that improve energy efficiency also enhance your comfort, so you can enjoy more even temperatures, better humidity control and a constant flow of warm air. Lennox® high-efficiency home comfort systems are designed with the finest features available, so you get the best of all worlds.
