Elite^® Series SeriesEL296E High-Efficiency, Two-Stage Gas Furnace

Features

Overview

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

Power Saver™ constant torque motor adjusts airspeed based on demand, helping the furnace use less energy in heating and cooling modes.

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.
