Features

The standard of operation

A single-stage unit is either on or off, working at full capacity when in use. With this simplified mode of operation, this product provides the heating and cooling levels you’d expect.

Use Less Energy. Save More Money

With efficiencies of up to 16.20 SEER2, the EL16KC1 can deliver significant energy savings. In fact, it can help cut your energy bills year-round. It may even help you qualify for energy rebates.

A peacefully quiet environment

To reduce operating sound levels, the EL16KC1 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 72 dB, or the sound of a handheld food mixer.

Our Uncontested Quantum™ Coil

With years of rigorous testing under the most extreme conditions, our Quantum Coil – featuring a proprietary aluminum alloy exclusive to Lennox – is designed to weather the harshest elements.

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.

Still in the summer season so no clue yet how the furnace side of the system will work as yet. Comfortable in the house, and quieter than the previous Lennox unit, all good. Love being able to remotely control new thermostat. Only concern at this point is the unit outside clunks pretty soundly when kicking on or off. Neighbor has the same unit and his does not do that. Maybe it should be looked at?
