All About the Lennox EL195NE Ultra-Low Emissions Gas Furnace

Posted: 2020-01-14

As your premier HVAC company in North Oaks MN, Four Seasons Air Specialists aims to provide you with a wide array of home comfort solutions, which not only give you the best experience but also address our obligation to take care of the environment.

With this goal in mind, we partnered with Lennox Industries, which is regarded as one of the best names in the industry. They have designed HVAC systems that changed the lives of families and have taken things up a notch by engineering furnaces that have ultra-low NOx emissions.

What is Low NOx?

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reformed its regulations, demanding U.S. homes to equip their homes with “low NOx” HVAC systems. In regard to these regulations, HVAC companies are not allowed to sell products to consumers in certain states unless the equipment meets specific requirements.

NOx is an abbreviation used to describe Nitrogen Oxides, a family of reactive and toxic greenhouse gases. When fuel is burned at high heat, such as in the heat exchanger of a furnace, nitrogen oxide gases are let out.

Using a Low NOx gas furnace helps prevent global warming and lung damage by minimizing NOx emissions. In addition, it also helps improve your furnace’s heating efficiency.

Features of the Lennox EL195NE Ultra-Low Emissions Gas Furnace

This furnace is ENERGY STAR® qualified. ENERGY STAR products are similar or better than standard products, only they use less energy. To earn the ENERGY STAR label, furnaces must meet strict energy efficiency criteria set by the US Environmental Protection Agency or the US Department of Energy. Since they use less energy, these products save you money on your electricity bill and help protect the environment by causing fewer harmful emissions from power plants. And you get the features and quality you expect.

Compared to older, low-efficiency models, the EL195NE ultra-low NOx has an efficiency rating of up to 95 percent AFUE that can save you hundreds of dollars in heating costs per year.

Its Power Saver technology not only provides energy boost capabilities improving the overall system efficiency, similar to a variable speed furnace but also delivers higher SEER ratings in cooling mode. In continuous fan mode, this technology helps keep energy waste at a minimum.

Every component of the EL195NE ultra-low NOx 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.


This product comes with a Lifetime limited warranty on the heat exchanger and a 5-year limited warranty on all remaining covered components.

The EL195NE ultra-low NOx gas furnace with our revolutionary design delivers consistent comfort while producing 65% lower NOx emissions than standard low NOx furnaces. So, it not only meets your comfort needs, but it also meets the needs of the environment.

Made with special sound-absorbing materials, the EL195NE ultra-low NOx is designed to operate extremely quietly, so you can relax in peaceful warmth.

Its Power Saver constant torque motor adjusts airspeed based on demand, helping the furnace use less energy in heating and cooling modes.

Power Saver technology not only provides energy boost capabilities improving the overall system efficiency, similar to a variable speed furnace but also delivers higher SEER ratings in cooling mode. In continuous fan mode, this technology helps keep energy waste at a minimum.

The EL195E ultra-low NOx’s fully insulated cabinet ensures quiet, efficient operation.

Its sealed blower compartment minimizes losses and maximizes efficiency and comfort. Less than 1% leakage at 1.0" ESP

Its secondary heat exchanger allows the furnace to achieve high efficiency levels by capturing additional heat.

Its SureLight® igniter silicone nitride construction ensures long product life and reliable operation.
