"What to do with Canadian Govt Grant"
I have a 3600 square foot home, I have a Lennox unit that is not giving me any problems, however I have installed a $30.00 part available at home depot for igniting the gas, I installed it myself about 7 years ago and everything works correctly. We have just signed up for the Retro Grant that gives you money back for home improvements such as windows etc... I was thinking to go to an upgraded furnace and ac unit as our bills are high and will get approx $3000.00 back from govt for having an afue of 95% +

"Lou Simmons"
Purchased a complete System, Heat Pump/Air and a propane high efficiency g26q3-75-5 furnace. I have a four zone system. Heat exchanger failed this past winter. Serviceman switched power off to furnace in mid Jan. Lennox dealer ordered replacement but wanted $510.00 for labor. Lennox warranty states free replacement for the heat exchanger but will not supply heat exchanger to home owner nor will the Lennox dealer who has my heat exchanger supply it to another licensed installer. Lennox is protecting the Lennox dealers. Never buy Lennox again. Wish I new of a unit that would be a direct replacement and get rid of the Lennox junk.

"My Worst Nightmare"
This Lennox hm30 Complete Heat system has cost me over $6,498 in repairs over the past 9 years and now it is irrepairable. I have replaced a thermistor, a pump, a valve, a thermostat, combustion blowers x2, a gas valve, an electrode, a control board, a regulator, a combustion air orifice, and a tank. It broke down while we were gone and the pipes froze and cracked costing me another $1000 in repairs. Now Lennox offers me just $1800 toward the replacement system which costs $3000. How pitiful! We have gone without heat and hot water for many days and paid for the equivalent of a new system. This is unbelievable!

"Lennox Furnace"
We purchased the Lennox complete Heat about 10 years ago. While it worked fine, Lennox offered to replace it suggesting that it would go bad soon. We took them up on their offer and installed a traditional Lennox high efficiency furnace. Since that time we have a problem every year. The ignition switch, the safety switch, controller panel, ... Now the aluminum boiler has cracked. Lucky I noticed it only a few hours after it happened since water was spraying everywhere (including all over the electronics). Lennox said the boiler is warrantied but not the electronics (which were ruined by spraying water from the cracked aluminum boiler) or the installation costs of the new boiler. It turns out it will be cheaper to put in a brand new furnace than fixing the old one. My installer recommends not touching the Lennox as he knows that they are trouble.

"Lennox g43"
I just bought a g43 merit. 8hr removal/installation and is very quiet. No problems and no reviews of this model. I am looking forward to saving some money with this unit (90-92% efficiency) but I am a little concerned about negative feed-back of other units. I found this sight after purchase. Replaced Ruud because of 2 cracks in heat exchanger (25 y/old). I will keep up with maintainance schedule and keep you posted.

"1997 Pulse G21"
Unit was new when I bought house. g21 Pulse Furnace. Flawless until two weeks ago. Replaced flapper when installing a/c back in 2001 just as a precaution. Unit stopped heating a couple weeks back. By shutting off/on power would force it to try to refire. Sometimes would run for a few minutes, other times wouldn't even get to pulse stage. Replaced flapper again. Ran for a week. This time trying the control box. Service tech tried for a long time (on free repeat labor to boot) to find something else wrong with it because the box is so expensive and obsolete. Tested heat exchanger for leaks. Everything checks solid. Outside of the vibration typical of pulses, couldn't be happier. Just a shame that an obsolete control box may force me to prematurely retired this furance if it fails again in a few years. The rest of the furance runs well.

"Lennox...Never again"
Had a g61 mpv furnace and a xp15 Heat pump installed in June of '07. Have had at least 12 service calls on a variety of problems. I had to have a circuit board replace 2 years in a row. It took 20 months and a Regional Tech to find out why my "Heat Pump" wasn't heating. Was told by the salesman that replacing the filter "now was a thing of the past". After 20 months this new electronic air filter needs replaced as a cost of $235...what a mistake!!!!!!!!

"angry and disatisfied"
We bought a Lennox Elite Series 11 yrs. ago we have replaced the ciruit board twice now, the ignition switch once, and had the fan repaired, I even have had a certified contractor come and just clean and oil it because I am so afraid of freezing another winter. It is so noisy when it is running it sounds like a jet plane taking off. It is a piece of crap I will never purchase another Lennox and do not recomend it to anyone. I agree with the person who commented about Lennox should stand behind their product and give some compensation back in return. Next repair it is gone.

"LENNOX"
I have a Lennox furnace, model # g50uh36b090, serial # 5905k21102, that is 3 years and 3 months old. It has a mind of its own. No matter what the thermostat is set at, it may work correctly or not come on at all. If I am gone for 5 hours, I can come home to a house where the temperature is 10º lower that the thermostat setting. At night, I can awaken to a house that is 15º lower that the thermostat setting. The computer has been replaced once. The last time the serviceman from Banner Fuel was here, all that he could find was that the furnace had tripped its breaker switch. He was going to charge me $108.00 for the visit. I refused to pay. Banner Fuel does not know what the problem is, however they are willing to charge me $90.00 per hour with no guarantee of results.
