Reviews

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 223 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Very Happy Bought this furnace as a replacement for my old Lennox Pulse furnace. The variable speed fan is so quiet it can barely be heard. The overall furnace is so much quieter than the old Pulse. I leave the blower on 24/7 and have noticed much more equal temperatures throughout my house. The energy efficiency bundled with the discounts and rebates made the decision to upgrade to this furnace a no-brainer. April 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by New furnace purchase 1/3 rd the footprint compared to our previous furnace, very quiet, and look to save money on the utility bills. April 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Phenomenal balance of value and efficiency Great choice compared with it's competitors. It was apparent that I had made the right choice after receiving 3 other bids. April 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by This is a great product . Our new Lennox high efficiency furnace has surpassed our expectations. Our home feels much more comfortable with the consistent same temperature verses our previous furnace that would come blasting on after the house was already noticeably cold . We also love the icomfort thermostat . I love that you can wake up walk by it and check the outdoor temperature for the entire day and week. High quality products. April 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by This product is much quieter when running and is very efficient. Furance runs much quieter and the efficency is very good as well. It takes up less space too! April 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Good Furnace but.............. So far this has been a good furnace but is noisy. My old beat-up furnace was quieter for some reason. Hope with further break-in things will change. April 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by the features on this furance are out standing i purchase my first lennox furance 31 years ago it was a top of the line for this era this furance is a great improvement April 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by So far, so good. Did some online reviewing and comparing prior to purchase and am satisfied with the product so far. It has been installed for about a month and a half and on our first gas billed noticed a 25% savings right out of the chute (the previous furnace would have been between 40 & 75% efficient). Would purchase again and recommend to others. April 10, 2013

*This chart depicts potential energy savings you can expect from the EL296V furnace, versus older furnaces with lower efficiency ratings. 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. Your actual savings may vary, depending on the weather patterns in your local area, local fuel rates and your individual lifestyle.
