EL296E High-Efficiency, Two-Stage Gas Furnace

Here are some of the top features of the EL296E:

Efficiency rating of 96% AFUE can save you hundreds of dollars each year*, compared to standard furnaces.

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

Power Saver™ motor operates at constant torque to help maintain consistent air flow.

Power Saver technology not only provides energy boost capabilities improving the overall system efficiency, similar to a variable speed furnace, but also delivers higher SEER ratings in cooling mode. In continuous fan mode, this technology helps keep energy waste at a minimum.

Two-Stage Gas Valve operates at a lower heating output for efficiency, switching to a higher output as needed.

Quiet Operation

• Special sound-absorbing insulation—further reduces sound for quiet operation
• Durable steel cabinet—made to last with an attractive, high-qulaity textured paint finish

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
• Limited Lifetime 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.

Energy Efficiency (AFUE): 96

AFUE Stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. The AFUE number represents how efficiently a furnace converts fuel to energy. The higher the AFUE percentage, the more energy-efficient or fuel-efficient the furnace. The U.S. government’s established minimum AFUE rating for a furnace is 78 percent.

• Efficiency rating of 96% AFUE—can save you hundreds of dollars each year*, compared to standard furnaces
• ENERGY STAR® qualified—meets or exceeds EPA guidelines for energy efficiency
• Power Saver™ motor operates at constant torque to help maintain consistent air flow.
• Power Saver technology not only provides energy boost capabilities improving the overall system efficiency, similar to a variable speed furnace, but also delivers higher SEER ratings in cooling mode. In continuous fan mode, this technology helps keep energy waste at a minimum.
• Two-Stage Gas Valve operates at a lower heating output for efficiency, switching to a higher output as needed.
• 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
