Heating Savings
Features
Balanced comfort and efficiency
While most furnaces are single stage, meaning they're either on or off, this furnace can heat at two different speeds. Most of the time the unit will meet heating needs at its lower speed, resulting in balanced and consistent temperatures with lower energy use.
Constant torque, constant efficiency
The Power Saver™ constant-torque motor adjusts airspeed based on demand. This helps the furnace use less energy in both heating and cooling modes.
Powerful energy savings.
Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, or AFUE, measures how efficiently your furnace uses fuel. An energy rating of up to 97% AFUE means this furnace can lower your energy bills by 20% compared to a standard furnace, while still keeping your home warm and quiet. It may even help you qualify for energy rebates.
Federal Tax Credit Eligible
This product is eligible for the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Internal Revenue Code Section 25C), a federal tax credit provided to homeowners who install high-efficiency equipment. You can potentially receive hundreds of dollars with tax credits. Consult your tax professional to confirm eligibility.
ENERGY STAR® Certified
ENERGY STAR® Certified
Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment with the ENERGY STAR label meets or exceeds federal guidelines for energy-efficient performance. An ENERGY STAR-certified furnace can reduce heating costs by 15 percent.
Smarten up your system
This furnace is compatible with the Lennox E30 Smart Thermostat, giving you easier access, control, and comfort. And because the E30 works seamlessly with a range of smart home devices, you get the added convenience of perfect comfort being just a tap or voice command away.

EL297E Gas Furnace
Install heating and air
September 10, 2026We are so pleased with the service we get from Bailey Mechanical and their employees and staff. Always very friendly and knowledgable and answer all our questions. They are always prompt with our calls for help. Thank you for all your help and concerns for us.
Lennox Furnace and Air Conditioner
September 10, 2026We are extremely pleased with the Lennox furnace and air conditioner we have purchased. The install went well too. The last Lennox furnace we had was 25 years old and was still running, but our air conditioner was not a Lennox, and we felt at our ages we wanted to have a new A/C and furnace which would last the rest of our lives.
