- Is the SLP99V worth it over a cheaper furnace?
- If you heat a lot and plan to stay in the home, the 99% AFUE and modulating comfort are the strongest case. In a mild climate or a short-term stay, a simpler furnace usually pays back faster.
- What is the difference from the SL280V?
- The SLP99V is a condensing furnace rated at 99% AFUE, while the SL280V is an 80% non-condensing model. The SLP99V adds a second heat exchanger and needs PVC venting and a condensate drain.
- Does it work with a variable-speed air conditioner?
- Yes. The variable-speed ECM blower is designed to pair with Lennox variable-speed and two-stage cooling equipment for better humidity control.
- What does the warranty cover?
- The heat exchanger carries a lifetime limited warranty, parts are covered for 10 years and labor for 2 years. The labor term is shorter than the parts term, so repair costs fall to the owner sooner.
- What is needed for installation?
- Plan on one day for a typical replacement, plus a condensate drain and PVC intake and exhaust venting. A licensed HVAC contractor should size it and set the blower for your ductwork.
- Can it be used with a heat pump?
- Yes, it can serve as the backup heat source in a dual-fuel setup with a heat pump, which is a common pairing for efficient homes.
- Where is the Lennox SLP99V Variable-Capacity Gas Furnace cheapest?
- At Capital, for $7,556.00, as of our latest check.
