EL296V High-Efficiency Two-Stage Gas Furnace
Elite® Series
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.
Energy Efficiency
- Efficiency rating of 96% AFUE-could save you hundreds of dollars each year*, compared to standard furnaces
- ENERGY STAR® qualified-meets or exceeds EPA guidelines for energy efficiency
- Dual-fuel capability-can be combined with an electric heat pump to enhance comfort and fuel efficiency by alternating between electric and gas heat, optimizing energy use and minimizing heating costs
- Variable speed blower motor-provides a quiet, consistent flow of air for enhanced comfort, efficiency and humidity control
- Robust stainless steel secondary heat exchange-rallows the furnace to achieve high efficiency levels by capturing additional heat
- icomfort®-enabled technology—allows the furnace, when installed with the easy-to-use programmable icomfort Wi-Fi™ thermostat, to exchange information and make adjustments as needed to optimize performance**
Quiet Operation
- SilentComfort™ Technology—delivers the ultimate in quiet, consistent heating
- Special sound-absorbing insulation—further reduces sound for quiet operation
- Durable steel cabinet—made to last with an attractive, high-qulaity textured paint finish
Home Comfort
- Two-stage, gas valve—works with the variable speed motor to match furnace output to household heating needs
- Enhanced humidity control—runs at different speeds to precisely control the flow of heated and cooled air throughout your home
- Secondary heat exchanger—allows the furnace to achieve high efficiency levels by capturing additional heat
- Low-speed fan—provides a consistent, continuous flow of warm air
Reliable Performance
- Duralok Plus® heat exchanger—made of patented ArmorTuf™ steel to ensure high reliability and efficiency
- SureLight® igniter—silicone nitride construction ensures long product life and reliable operation
- SureLight control board—controls furnace operation to ensure high reliability and efficiency
- Multi-position models available
- *This chart depicts potential energy savings you can expect from the EL296V furnace, versus older furnaces with lower efficiency ratings. Criteria used in this example are 2,000 full-load heating hours, with a 60,000 Btuh heating design load and $1.368 ccf for gas. Your actual savings may vary, depending on the weather patterns in your local area, local fuel rates and your individual lifestyle.
- **icomfort Wi-Fi™ Touchscreen thermostat must be installed with an icomfort-enabled indoor unit for maximum performance.
