Elite Series®: EL296V High Efficiency, Two Stage Gas Furnace
*High- Efficiency, Variable Speed Gas Furnace*
*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*
Features & Benefits
- Energy Efficiency:
- Efficiency Rating of Up To 98.2% AFUE: The AFUE number represents how efficiently a furnace converts fuel to energy. The higher the AFUE percentage, the more energy- efficiency or fuel- efficient the furnace. The U.S. government’s established minimum AFUE rating for a furnace is 78 percent. With an AFUE as high as this product, you can save over $800 per year, compared to standard furnaces
