Features
Variable capacity, constant efficiency
This product offers variable-capacity operation, meaning it can adjust cooling output like a dimmer switch to perfectly match your energy use to your comfort needs. This also helps control humidity more accurately.
Use Less Energy. Save More Money
With efficiencies of up to 19.50 SEER2, the EL18KCV can deliver significant energy savings. In fact, it can help cut your energy bills and may even help you qualify for energy rebates.
A peacefully quiet environment
To reduce operating sound levels, the EL18KCV uses a sound-dampening system with a precision-balanced, direct-drive fan to ensure smooth, quiet operation. This lets it operate at a volume as quiet as 67 dB, or the sound of a clothes washer.
Your Digital Bridge into a World of Perfect Air
The efficient EL18KCV variable-capacity air conditioner is your digital bridge into a world of perfect air. When paired with a fully digital furnace or air handler and a Lennox S40 Smart Thermostat, it can step into a fully communicating home comfort system, maximizing its 19.50 SEER2 efficiency with modern communication features.
Cabinets designed for reliability
Cabinets built using superior materials and proprietary designs make Lennox units more attractive, durable and easier to install. Even maintenance is simplified thanks to the hinged design that allows quick access to the control panel and coils.
A refrigerant that’s better for the environment.
This product is compliant with 2025 EPA regulations for lower global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants. The Lennox choice of 2025 Compliant Refrigerant has a lower GWP than its predecessor and is formulated to provide excellent, reliable performance of your system for years to come.

EL18KCV Air Conditioner
THE BEST
January 06, 2026I never write reviews but felt I had to. We had a Lennox air conditioner and furnace that were 26 years old and decided it was time to switch them out. This was one of the best experiences I have had with any company over the years. It started out of the gate with the 1st person we spoke with (Kailee Aldred). She was extremely knowledgeable about all the products and was very kind. We spoke with her a few times and was the main reason we went with Thornton & Grooms. Brandon Young and his team did an amazing job installing everything and had to do extra work on our ducts which caused them to stay late but they were very patient and did not rush in any way to try and get out! We had everything installed on 11-4-25 and have had it now for a few months. We had the S40 Thermostat installed and love it and especially the ap on our phones which we use all the time. We also had the Enviroaire Power Humidifier installed which works great. We had the EL18KCV Air Conditioner installed and tested it out that day and although it was larger than our old unit, it was quieter and looks great. Our furnace is the EL297V006 and it is much smaller than our old unit and much quieter. Their pricing was competitive, and the installation was top notch which we have been told by friends is the most important part of the process. We highly recommend the folks in the Farmington Hills, Michigan office, you will not be disappointed. One last amazing thing is that they sent us a box of goodies and thanked us for our business!
Yes, I recommend this product.
