High-efficiency, variable speed gas furnace

The EL296V uses a variable speed motor that reduces electrical use by two-thirds, compared to a standard motor. Plus, two stages of heating minimize temperature swings, so you can save on utility bills without sacrificing comfort.

Here are some of the top features of the EL296V:

ENERGY STAR^® qualified which means the furnace meets or exceeds U.S. federal guidelines for energy efficiency.

Variable speed technology delivers greater humidity control and consistent airflow for improved comfort and indoor air quality.

Ultra-low continuous fan speed provides a quiet, constant flow of air and optimizes indoor air quality accessories.
