While most gas furnaces have only two options—on and off—Lennox offers the EL296V, which can create heat at two different levels. This allows it to find a smart balance between energy use and comfortable warmth. A variable-speed motor constantly adjusts airflow speed and gently disperses even heat throughout the home, efficiently delivering exceptional comfort. Because it can fine-tune airflow to match demand, the motor minimizes wasted electricity. With a 96 percent efficiency rating, the EL296V can potentially save a homeowner hundreds of dollars per year in energy costs.
