The Lennox ML296V high-efficiency variable-speed furnace has a lower cabinet height, making it easier to accommodate into a variety of areas. The combination of a variable speed fan and two stages of gas provides a higher level of comfort, the variable speed fan regulates humidity, provides more uniform airflow, and reduces hot and cold areas. Two-stage gas valves and an AFUE of at least 96 will help homeowners save money over the long term. This Merit series product has been thoroughly tested to ensure its dependability and durability. It provides long-lasting comfort.
Although it isn’t as efficient as Lennox’s premium versions, it still provides amazing design features and a high efficiency rating that will save you money on heating expenditures. These model features make the furnace more energy efficient, quieter, better at controlling humidity, capable of keeping a larger home warm (as compared to a single-stage furnace), and better at maintaining a consistent temperature throughout your home.
The Lennox ML296V is covered by a 20-year heat exchanging warranty and a 10-year parts warranty. However, the Lennox furnaces must be registered within 60 days of installation to receive the full 10-year parts warranty. Otherwise, the warranty will not apply to the furnace.
To avoid the warranty being invalidated, you will need to have your furnace installed by an HVAC contractor licensed in your area. Lennox, a premium brand, charges more for the ML296V’s warranty. This is why their warranty on the Lennox ML296V is as expensive as other brands. They don’t offer lifetime heat exchanger protection like many HVAC brands do now, nor the unit replacement warranty as many brands have.
