Features
Fewer emissions is our mission
Along with the state of California, we’re leading the way with low-NOx initiatives and solutions. Efficient and environmentally friendly, our revolutionary design produces 65% lower NOx emissions than standard low-NOx furnaces, meeting the strictest air quality requirements. So you can feel good about your environment, inside and out. These NOx, or Nitrogen Oxide, emissions from furnaces produce ground-level ozone, which impacts the environment and your health.
Two-stage operation for more balanced temperatures
A step up from single-stage furnaces because its gas valve offers an additional lower setting. Most of the time the unit will meet heating needs at its lower stage, resulting in balanced and consistent temperatures with lower energy use. Should the low heat setting not heat the space quickly enough, the furnace will switch to the high setting. This ability to switch between the two settings offers greater comfort and efficiency.
Energy efficiency that adapts to your needs
Equipped with an efficient variable-speed blower motor with the ability to slowly ramp the airflow up or down to provide consistently even temperatures as it only produces the necessary amount of airflow at any given time.
This truly digital product is designed to pair with the Lennox S40 Smart Thermostat as part of a fully communicating home comfort system. Sensors in the equipment allow the thermostat to diagnose issues and automatically make system adjustments to more accurately and efficiently maintain temperature, humidity and air quality.
Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, or AFUE, measures how efficiently your furnace uses fuel. An energy rating of 80% AFUE means this furnace can significantly reduce your heating costs, compared to an older furnace.
We have higher standards. Others think so, too.
High quality, tough and dependable

Smarter Together
When paired with the iComfort® S30 ultra smart thermostat, a world of connectivity is unlocked. It stays finely tuned to your home by using sensors to react, diagnose, and troubleshoot. It provides basic maintenance notifications and alerts, performance reports, including the ability for you to grant your dealer access to remotely diagnose and troubleshoot. This pro-active and responsive HVAC care is valid for the lifetime of the HVAC system. Promising peace of mind by doing away with unnecessary dealer visits, avoiding potential repair costs, and ensuring nothing short of perfect air. Of course, you can also use your iComfort S30 or the Lennox app to schedule and set away modes, adjust and maintain temperatures, ensure ideal humidity levels, optimize comfort in your home’s zones, and more.

Happy with our new Furnace
October 21, 2025We've had the Lennox SL280NV furnace installed in our home for just a couple of months, and while it hasn’t been cold enough yet to really put it to the test, we’re already impressed with its promise and the overall experience. It seems to pair perfectly with the Lennox A/C unit that was installed at the same time. The original builder's grade system wore out after twenty-five years. the "old system" never seemed to work as well as it should heating or cooling our home. From what we’ve seen so far, this furnace seems like a better fit for our home, and we are excited to share our initial thoughts. The installation process was seamless, thanks to our local Lennox Preferred Installer, A Plus Heating and Cooling. They were terrific to work with every step of the way, professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. From the initial consultations to the final setup, their team answered all our questions, explained the features of the SL280NV clearly, and ensured everything was installed perfectly. Their customer service and follow-up gave us confidence that we chose the right team and the right furnace. Even though we haven’t needed to run the furnace due to mild weather, we’ve tested it briefly, and it’s whisper-quiet and seems to distribute heat evenly. The two-stage heating and variable-speed blower are features we’re excited to experience fully this winter, as the system is designed to keep our home comfortable while operating efficiently it should be significantly more energy efficient than the system it replaced. The unit’s sleek design and compact size also fit neatly into our space, and we appreciate its modern engineering, and the efficiency-boosting components we learned about from A Plus. So far, the SL280NV gives us every reason to believe it’ll perform reliably when the cold hits. Paired with the outstanding service from A Plus Heating and Cooling, we are happy with our decision and can’t wait to see how this furnace handles the winter months!
