Why You Should Consider Buying the Lennox EL280 Gas Furnace

On a cold night, you expect your furnace to run perfectly and distribute warm heat throughout your home. This is how your heating system should function every single night because you do not want your family to be exposed to extremely low temperatures. But as much as you’d hate it, an old furnace isn’t likely to give you that peace of mind. Since it operates with aged parts, it’s only a matter of time before your unit finally gives up entirely.

On the bright side, furnaces do show warning signs when they are about to retire. These indications will help you make a decision when it’s time to get a new heating system. Two of those signs are hot and cold spots and constant short cycling.

Four Seasons Air Specialists is your leading heating company in Centerville MN. We offer the full line of Lennox furnaces, which are known to be some of the most energy-efficient in the industry.

Hot and Cold Spots

If there are areas in your house that are considerably colder than the others, it is possible that your furnace can no longer provide consistent heating throughout your home. Also, watch out for ice forming on the roof, which could tell you that a ductwork leak is taking place.

Constant Short Cycling

Short cycling happens when a furnace indiscriminately turns itself on and off, which means that it’s trying so hard to produce a consistent temperature in your home. Most of the time, this cycling is caused by one or more mechanical problems. Faulty switches, overworked blower fans, and poor fuel mixes in the unit are just some of the things that can cause a furnace to turn itself on and off. This issue ultimately leads to costly repairs or if the problem is too severe, a replacement.

Features of the Lennox EL280 Gas Furnace

The EL280 can adjust the size of its flame based on heating demand, allowing it to fine-tune your comfort and your energy savings with greater precision than a conventional furnace.

This product comes with a 20-Year Limited Warranty on Heat Exchanger. 5-Year Limited Warranty on covered components. This product may be eligible for valuable 10-Year Limited Extended Warranty coverage with product registration.

The EL280 has an efficiency rating of up to 80 percent AFUE, which can save you hundreds of dollars in heating costs per year, compared to older, low-efficiency furnaces.

The EL280’s ultra-low continuous fan speed provides a quiet, constant flow of air and enhances indoor air quality devices.

When matched with a Lennox air conditioner or heat pump, the EL280 can improve your cooling Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER), which leads to greater energy efficiency and lower energy costs.

Energy Efficiency

With an efficiency rating of up to 80 percent AFUE, the EL280 can save you hundreds of dollars in heating costs per year, compared to older, low-efficiency furnaces. (Actual savings will vary depending on your area’s fuel rates and your family’s lifestyle.)

Its dual-fuel capability can be incorporated with an electric heat pump to create a dual-fuel system that maximizes comfort and fuel efficiency by smoothly alternating between electric and gas heat, optimizing energy use, and minimizing heating costs.

To minimize heat loss and maximize comfort and efficiency, Lennox created a sealed blower compartment for the EL280.

Performance

This furnace has a Duralok Plus heat exchanger that is built from patented ArmorTuf steel that captures waste heat, and a stainless steel secondary heat exchanger that enables the unit to achieve industry-leading efficiency levels. This solid component exceeds industry requirements and extends the EL280’s lifespan.

The EL280’s SureLight igniter increases its lifetime and improves reliability.

Its SureLight control board effectively controls its operation, guaranteeing better reliability and efficiency.

To further lessen heat loss, Lennox designed the EL280 with an elegantly-styled, durable steel cabinet with a high-quality paint finish.

The EL280 is equipped with special sound-absorbing materials that further reduce sound for even quieter operation.
