Keeping your home properly heated during winter is essential because prolonged exposure to cold weather can pose danger to your health and productivity.
Your furnace is the best way to heat your house. But what if your existing heating system is incapable of providing your home’s heating requirements? If your furnace is 15 years or older, you may need to think about getting a new one. Old furnaces use more fuel and work harder in an attempt to keep your family comfortably warm, which causes high heating bills and continual repairs.
High-efficiency furnaces offer greater performance with lower energy consumption. This translates to maximum comfort and significant savings on utilities.
Marsh Heating and Air Conditioning is dedicated to offering the ultimate HVAC solutions. We are your trusted heating company in New Brighton, MN and the rest of the Minneapolis – St. Paul metropolitan area.
Because of our commitment to exceptional workmanship and outstanding customer service, Lennox Industries gave us the Dave Lennox Premier Dealer honor. This distinction gives us access to the best furnaces Lennox offers, one of which is going to be discussed in this feature, the EL296E.
Features of the Lennox EL296E
The EL296E is one of the models in Lennox’s Elite Series, promising great performance and savings.
This furnace is ENERGY STAR® qualified, which means the unit meets and exceeds US federal guidelines for energy efficiency.
Its 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 to a minimum.
Compared to older, low-efficiency models, the EL296E has an efficiency rating of 96 percent AFUE that can save you hundreds of dollars in heating costs per year.
The EL296E also has the capacity to make your home feel better during summer months. By operating at its lower speed, air spends more time in contact with the outside coil, the cooling engine of your air-conditioning unit. This helps reduce moisture levels inside your home to enhance your comfort.
When paired with a Lennox®heat pump, the EL296E creates a system that can automatically alternate between electricity and gas fuel to keep you warm. So you’re always using the most energy-efficient way to keep comfortable.
Its Two-Stage Gas Valve operates at a lower heating output for efficiency, switching to a higher output only when needed.
Every component of the EL296E 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.
With product registration, the EL296E may be eligible for a 10-year Limited Extended Warranty. Lennox also offers a 5-year Limited Warranty on covered parts and Limited Lifetime Warranty on the Heat Exchanger.

If you are in need of a new furnace or your current heating system is nearing the end of its lifespan, you may think going with a high-efficiency furnace is too expensive. While that may be true, if you opt to get a new high-efficiency furnace, you may qualify for rebates and tax credits in your area. These incentives, in addition to lower utility bills, should compensate for the upfront cost of getting a new unit.
