"Lennox Dealer"
I have installed several SLP98Vs, not a single problem with the furnace. Our customer love it, some of them have 2 in their home. Lennox engineering is great and they stand behind their product. They will even have a field consultant to come and check the furnace or A/C, if there is a problem the tech cannot find. The installation is the most critical point of a furnace working properly. Most of the installation, we see the furnace is over sized and the duct is too small. Every sale should be provided with a load calculation for the home. The duct system, and the airflow should be checked to determine how well the new system should perform.

"Excellent Furnace!"
This furnace does exactly what it says it will do. My heating bills dropped like a rock. I never hear it run and my home stays comfortable with even temperatures all winter. One note to Ted who had problems with pressure switches. Check to make sure the furnace is vented correctly. The SLP98V is a direct vent furnace which means the vent pipe for both the exhaust and the intake should be the same length. Other Lennox 90+% furnace are indirect vent furnaces, meaning the intake vent does not have to run the full length. An imbalance can cause pressure switch trips, which easily could be diagnosed by a technician as a bad switch. I am a bit confused though, because you should have had a labor warranty to go with your 10 year parts warranty. Should that not have eliminated your costs? Who installed your furnace? Was installed by a Lennox Premier Dealer? Full disclosure - I work for a Lennox Premier Dealer. I purchased and had this furnace installed in my home so my review is a personal review. That said, I have some insight to some of the issues we encountered. Mine was the first one we installed in this market.

"Lennox is Awesome!"
Most gripes seen more centered around bad service issues and installation. SLP98V I put 1 in my home, silent operation. 100's installed, yes bad icomforts + 1 out of 25 defective air switches. Lennox resolved, no problems since. Unfortunate that dealers don't bother to train their staff how to troubleshoot and install properly that is the only major problem I see. Excellent engineering by Lennox on these new units.

"Love this furnace!"
I am a regular homeowner who had a Lennox SL280v installed back in July 2012. It is matched up with a Goodman a/c unit and the furnace has performed flawlessly. It is so quiet compared to my old Lennox furnace. I love the variable speed feature and I have seen more even temperatures throughout the house. a lot of these bad reviews are do to poor install or improperly sized systems. My advice to anyone is to find a good company with a very good reputation and make sure they are bbb accredited. Install matters more than brand. Systems installed and/or sized poorly will break down all the time and you will never be satisfied. I will have to say that all brands are junk these days. I wouldn't hesitate to choose Lennox again.

"This Lennox has been good to us"
Ok, this is an old Lennox Pulse 21 that was discontinued 15 years ago, but, after 20.5 winters, it has been good to us. It is noisy, but we were warned that the pulse furnaces were. We get it serviced once a year and have a contract with the dealer. We have had two problems with it. The first was several years ago and I cannot remember exactly what it was, but the service contract covered the part, but not the labour as I recall. The second problem is current. We have had two techs look at it and it seems to have been the board (it has been replaced and the problem has more or less abated), but we are considering purchasing a new one as we are told parts are hard to come by and 20 years is pretty well the life of a furnace.

"Elite G61MPV 2200sq ft ranch 3 years"
We upgraded to the Elite g61mpv with New construction.We also did duel Zones Bedrooms/living area. The future 3rd Zone will be the walk out basement. Total space so far 4400sq ft including the full exposed basement helps.The furnace is quiet and blower works well with the Lennox Ac in the summer.WE Energy always has us on the lowest of the cost and usage line in comparing us with other owners. Quiet /comfortable and as cheap as it gets compared to other places I have been seen and talked to.The ac however did need some motor part 2nd summer.So far very pleased with the furnace. My expectation is 15-20 years,25 would be nice.Cost of the variable fan??? Later,and expenses will be the telling story.Ive heard good and bad about various brands. Look and ask around. understand your warranty!!

"One repair in 29 years"
We've only needed one repair on our 29 year old Lennox. Hope to make it through another winter. Looking to replace it with an efficient model. I was hoping it would be another Lennox, but not too sure after reading these reviews. I'll be checking other reviews for more information. I thought this would be simple!

"Furnace works well"
The furnace works fine and saves on heating bills. Paid around $4500 in 2010. No repairs so far for the actual furnace. Had to call the installer back five times to get the blower settings correct. Installer company never did figure it out. I'm computer literate so I read the manual and insisted the installation company call the factory. Factory told them to manually cut a switch setting to increase the fan only setting in summertime to more than 10%, to distribute air throughout the house. Basically the switch controls are over the intelligence of some installation companies. Installers just use factory settings which defeats the purpose of modern furnaces.

"EL296UHV"
This unit is very quiet. When the fan is in continuous mode I.E. just circulating air, the furnace is nearly impossible to hear. I like the 2 stage heating and variable fan concept. This furnace works great, but we also went with this brand because, the contractor has great service.
