Your home’s heating system is an essential investment in your family’s comfort, especially during an extreme weather. With the various types of furnaces available on the market today, you might be wondering which one makes the most sense.
Four Seasons Air Specialists is a trusted heating company in Lino Lakes MN that carries a complete range of furnaces from Lennox Industries.
Here are the things you might want to consider why the Lennox SLP98V could be the right system for your home.
Energy-Saving
Your furnace is one of the pieces of equipment in your home that consumes the most energy. It is important to specify the energy-efficiency of a furnace to give you an idea of how much fuel it needs to conveniently heat your home.
Improved energy efficiency is one of the main reasons why homeowners buy a new furnace. While investing in a high-efficiency furnace does involve a substantial upfront cost, but it’s important to know that it also offers an excellent return on your investment.
AFUE (annual fuel utilization efficiency) rating is the measure by which a system’s ability to convert gas into heat is evaluated. It indicates the percentage of the fuel consumed that is actually used for generating heat. In layman’s terms, the higher the AFUE rating, the greater the savings.
With industry-leading efficiencies of up to 98.7% AFUE*, the SLP98V can save you hundreds of dollars in utility costs every year. This product has been designated as one of the Most Efficient ENERGY STAR certified products in 2018. Products that are recognized as the Most Efficient of ENERGY STAR in 2018 prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting rigorous energy efficiency performance levels set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The SLP98V’s dual-fuel capability can be incorporated with an electric heat pump to enhance comfort and fuel efficiency by alternating between electric and gas heat, maximizing energy use while minimizing heating costs.
Its secondary heat exchanger is made from stainless steel that has a heavy-duty design, catching waste heat, allowing the SLP98V to achieve industry-leading efficiency levels.
When installed with the user-friendly programmable iComfort Wi-Fi thermostat, the SLP98V’s iComfort-enabled technology allows it to process information and make adjustments as needed to optimize performance and efficiency. iComfort Wi-Fi thermostats have the ability to monitor your energy usage and send you a detailed report that tells you how much energy you have been using in a given month. This data will allow you to foresee how much your utility costs would be, and tell you to make adjustments if you want to save on energy.
Silent Operation
You would want a furnace that works silently in the background. Furnaces that have an AFUE of 90 or more use a sealed combustion chamber, so you hardly ever even hear the burners when the furnace is running.
Furnaces with single stage gas valves are louder. On the other hand, having a 2-stage furnace results in a quieter running unit when set on a lower flame setting.
The SLP98V is the quietest high-efficiency furnace available on the market today. Its SilentComfort technology combines advanced engineering with sound-absorbing components to deliver the best in quiet performance. Compared to other competitive models, the SLP98V is up to 10 times quieter, making your home a lot more relaxing.
SilentComfort™ is achieved by using variable-speed technology. In simple terms, this furnace has a high and low speed. Since the low speed setting is enough to meet household-heating demands approximately 80 percent of the time, the furnace is much quieter than a conventional single-stage furnace.
The SLP98V packs a fully insulated cabinet with patented noise-reducing construction that further minimizes operating sound to an industry-leading low level.
