Two-stage heat, one serious commitment to performance
Two-stage heat, one serious commitment to performance
Conventional
furnaces are either off or on. But the EL296E can output heat at two different
intensities, allowing it to fine-tune your comfort and your energy use in
perfect balance.
Makes your air feel great, even in the summer
The
EL296E also has the power to make your home feel better during summer months.
By operating at its lower speed, air spends more time in contact with the
outside coil, the cooling engine of your air-conditioning unit. This helps
reduce moisture levels inside your home to enhance your comfort.
We figured we might save a few dollars however when we get our bills we cannot believe the saving over the previous furnace.
Constant torque, constant efficiency
The
Power Saver™ constant torque motor adjusts airspeed based on demand, helping
the furnace use less energy in both heating and cooling modes.
Built for exceptional reliability
Every
component of the EL296E has proven itself through extensive testing in our
research labs. So you can take comfort knowing the furnace will deliver
reliable performance, season after season.
Dual-fuel capability means smarter energy use
When the EL296E is paired with a Lennox® heat pump, it creates a system that can automatically alternate between electricity and gas fuel to keep you warm. So you’re always using the most energy-efficient way to keep comfortable.

This furnace does not meet the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1111 NOx emission limit (14 ng/J) and cannot be installed in the SCAQMD.
If installed in San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) only: This furnace does not meet the SJVAPCD Rule 4905 NOx emission limit (14 ng/J), and thus is subject to a mitigation fee of up to $450.
Proper sizing and installation of equipment is critical to achieve optimal performance. Split system air conditioners and heat pumps (excluding ductless systems) must be matched with appropriate coil components to meet ENERGY STAR criteria.
