One of the things you’d want to avoid dealing with is a malfunctioning furnace in the midst of a frosty Minnesota night, which spells stress, anxiety, and the absence of peace in your home. However, before your unit finally gives up on you, there are clear signs to watch out for.
Marsh Heating and Air Conditioning is your friendly HVAC company in New Brighton MN that offers a wide array of furnaces designed by Lennox, one of the best names in the industry.
Here are a few warning signs of a failing furnace:
Extreme Noises
Too much noise tells you that there are problems in some internal parts of your furnace. For example, if you hear popping sounds, it may be due to a delayed rough ignition due to dirty burners. A loose or dirty filter getting pulled against its frame or a loose blower door can also produce extreme noises. If you hear a rattling noise, it may be because of unfastened ductwork, loose screws or sheet metal. It may also mean the blower motor is not completely balanced.
Excessively High Energy Costs
High utility bills can be due to fuel costs and an inefficient heating system. When a furnace is deteriorating, it needs to work harder to perform its job. It no longer has the power and performance to heat your home. As your furnace ages, its efficiency starts to decline, especially if it has not been properly maintained.
Inconsistent Heating
Are there certain areas within your home that are considerably warmer than other rooms? It is possible that your furnace is no longer able to distribute consistent heat throughout your home.
Features of the Lennox SL297NV Gas Furnace
This furnace is ENERGY STAR® qualified. ENERGY STAR products are the same or better than standard products, only they use less energy. To earn the ENERGY STAR label, furnaces must meet strict energy efficiency criteria set by the US Environmental Protection Agency or the U.S. Department of Energy. Since they use less energy, these products save you money on your electricity bill and help protect the environment by causing fewer harmful emissions from power plants. In addition, you get the features and quality you expect.
It comes with a lifetime limited warranty on the heat exchanger and a 5-year limited warranty on all remaining covered components.
Every component of the SL297NV has proven itself through extensive testing in our research labs. So you can take comfort knowing the furnace will deliver reliable performance, season after season.
The SL297NV ultra-low NOx gas furnace with its revolutionary design provides reliable comfort while producing 65% lower NOx emissions than standard low NOx furnaces. So, while you’re staying cozy and warm, you’re also helping to protect the environment.
The variable-speed motor maintains a consistent temperature in your home using as little fuel as possible. This helps you stay comfortable and reduces your utility costs.
Its energy rating of up to 97.5% AFUE means the SL297NV can potentially save you hundreds of dollars per year, compared to an older furnace.
iComfort® S30 ultra-smart thermostat compatibility adjusts your heating for energy savings based on your family’s routine. This gives the furnace the ability to be controlled via Wi-Fi and an app to adjust the temperature. You can make all the adjustments using a device without having to be physically near the equipment.
The SL297NV’s variable-speed blower motor allows for constant and efficient adjustments of airflow speed and gently disperses even heat throughout your home. It also prevents loud blasts of air that can occur when a single-speed system starts up, providing quiet operation for enhanced comfort.

This furnace is designed with exclusive SilentComfort™ Technology, which is achieved by utilizing variable-speed technology. In other words, this furnace has a high and low speed. Since the low-speed setting is adequate to meet household-heating demands approximately 80 percent of the time, the furnace is much quieter than a conventional single-stage furnace. In addition, the variable-speed motor ramps up gradually, eliminating the sudden “kick” or blast of air upon startup.
Its variable-speed motor provides a quiet and consistent flow of air for an ideal balance of temperature and humidity throughout your home.
Its variable-speed airflow prevents temperature swings and controls humidity levels for a more comfortable environment.
Its low fan speed option efficiently controls humidity levels and provides continuous filtration for cleaner, healthier air.
