Lennox Merit Furnace Overview

I moved into my house a year and 3 months ago. For the first few months it was summer and I did not use my furnace. Once fall and cold weather hit it was time to turn the furnace on. I have a gas furnace and have only had electric in the past. That being said, I wish I still had an electric furnace! My furnace gets the job done, mostly, but I do not love it. For one thing, it’s about 14 years old, so I know that it is getting closer to its last legs. I don’t like the gas aspect of it, as when it clicks on it has to light the pilot light. I have issues with it actually lighting. At times my furnace will click on four or five times until it finally lights. As one can imagine, this is quite loud. Even when it’s lighting properly and only doing it once, it is a loud process. It has at times woke me up from sleep! So far I have never had to repair it, but I know given its age the time is coming. When I have to replace it, I would have no problem going with the Lennox brand again, but I would most definitely prefer an electric furnace. I would recommend the brand to a friend, but not the particular model of gas furnace. Go with electric!

Faulty Pressure Sensor Switch 1.5 Year Old Furnace Brand new Lennox ML195UH worked great for the first 1.5 years of ownership. Yesterday the furnace failed. Turned out to be a faulty pressure sensor switch. Part was covered by warranty however the couple hundred dollar service bill to come replace the part was not. Service tech mentioned this has been an ongoing problem with this model of furnace. Poor quality control, even worse research and development. Will never buy the Lennox brand again.

There are so many things to like about this unit. It is smaller in size, quiet, and energy efficient.

I purchased my furnace from Lynden Sheet Metal of Lynden, Washington. I have had it in my house for about 4 to 5 months and so far, the difference in the heating bill over last year at the same time is considerable. It isn’t that noisy and seems to be operating perfectly. The service was great and prompt. Thank you.

Had a complete Lennox furnace and ac put in by a qualified company that has been around for years, they are so confident in their equipment they put a 15 year parts and labor warranty on the units. These are very quiet you almost can’t hear them run. Great product. I do believe that like everything furnaces do break down however most of the issues are due to not being sized or installed properly. Furnaces do require the technician to set the limits and fan speeds based on your return and duct work. Improper set up will cause premature failure in critical components.
