About the Lennox EL297E Constant-Torque Gas Furnace

Who this furnace is for

This Lennox gas furnace fits a defined heat-load range. Sizing isn’t done by the square footage of the home alone: a proper Manual J load calculation accounts for insulation, air sealing, window quality, basement conditioning, and ductwork. A furnace too big short-cycles and wears out faster; one too small runs flat-out on the coldest day and never quite catches up.

Why customers pick Lennox

Lennox sits at the premium end of the residential HVAC market. The brand pioneered ultra-high efficiency variable-capacity systems and has been a go-to for homeowners who value quiet operation, tighter temperature control, and longer equipment life over upfront price.

Installation notes

A furnace install involves the cabinet itself plus venting (B-vent for mid-efficiency, PVC for condensing), a condensate drain on condensing models, a properly sized gas line, a chimney liner adjustment if you’ve gone from mid- to high-efficiency, electrical, thermostat wiring, and a TSSA-permit gas safety inspection. Old equipment removal and disposal are part of the job.

Warranty and rebates

Lennox furnaces in this tier typically carry a 10-year limited parts warranty and a 20-year-to-lifetime heat exchanger warranty when registered. Enbridge Home Efficiency Rebate Plus covers high-efficiency gas furnace replacements when bundled with envelope or heat pump upgrades.
