Reasons You Should Upgrade to the Lennox EL296V Variable-Speed, Two-Stage Gas Furnace

Dealing with an old, failing furnace is something you don’t want to experience in the middle of winter. But if for some reason, you are in the market for a new heating system, you might want to consider investing in a two-stage unit.

Four Seasons Air Specialists is your dependable heating company in Grant MN. In partnership with Lennox Industries, we offer their full line of energy-efficient furnaces.

The Two-Stage Edge

If you’re having cold and hot spots at home, you’d appreciate how a two-stage furnace evens out the heat distribution as well as it minimizes temperature fluctuations in your home. These shifts occur more commonly with single-stage furnaces because the system is either running at full power or not at all.

On the other hand, a two-stage furnace can run at a lower setting, allowing your home to reach a more consistent temperature before shutting off. As a result, it saves you money on energy, which can translate to hundreds of dollars each winter.

If you’re wondering if you need a two-stage furnace, consider these situations:

• your house has two or more levels
• you are experiencing inconsistent temperatures in your home
• your furnace has to run for too long just to eliminate hot and cold spots
• you’re planning on staying at your current address for the foreseeable future or longer.

Understand that you will be paying more with a two-stage furnace, so you want to make sure that you’ll be able to recoup your expenses by using the system for years.
