Features
Class-leading heat pump technology
Our advanced cold climate technology delivers a greater amount of heat compared to traditional heat pumps, resulting in a feeling similar to the rich, warm comfort of a gas furnace—even during the coldest outdoor temperatures.
A peacefully quiet environment
To reduce operating sound levels, the EL21KLV uses a sound-dampening system with a precision-balanced, proprietary direct-drive fan to ensure smooth, quiet operation. This lets it operate at a volume as quiet as 55 dB, or the sound of a microwave.
Your Digital Bridge into a World of Perfect Air
The compact, efficient EL21KLV variable-speed heat pump 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 21.00 SEER2 efficiency with modern communication features.
Cabinets designed for reliability and serviceability
Our most innovative cabinet design features panels that fit securely to the unit to prevent excess noise, along with an easily removable louver panel that allows for quick access by your technician. This proprietary design makes Lennox units more attractive and durable, quieter and easier to install and service, so nothing stands between you and having perfect air in your home.
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.

EL21KLV Cold Climate Heat Pump
Is it warm? Yes. Is it loud? Yes. And no gift card
November 25, 2025I've only had the unit for a month and it keeps the house toasty and the thermostat is easy to use but it runs louder than I expected. When it really kicks in I can hear a high pitched hum from the unit outside, which is near my bedroom, and I haven't gotten used to it yet so it keeps me up at night. The intake also sounds really loud inside when it kicks in, but I'm not so fussed about that. Mostly I'm upset that I was promised a visa gift card if I bought quickly. I never received the gift card. I emailed about it and called the installation company and hear crickets from both. I feel like it was a false promise to get me to make a quick decision. I probably would have made the same decision anyway due to the generous warranty but definitely don't make a decision based on getting a significant amount back in a gift card. I'm sure there is small print somewhere that will exempt you. I'll update after my first year when I can evaluate energy usage, comfort, and cost
