The Lennox EL21KLV
As part of Lennox’s Elite series products, the EL21KLV is a mid-tier heat pump. It incorporates some of Lennox’s more advanced features at a more affordable price than the Signature line, making it an excellent option for many households.
Premium features of the Lennox EL21KLV include:
- Variable-speed compressor
- Sound-dampening system
- High SEER2 rating of up to 21
The heat pump also uses a 2025-compliant refrigerant and is compatible with the Lennox S40 smart thermostat.
Energy Efficiency and SEER2 Performance
With efficiency ratings of up to 21 SEER2 and 10.00 HSPF2, the Lennox EL21KLV is incredibly environmentally friendly. It’s also ENERGY STAR-certified, making it ideal for families who want to minimize their energy bills and reduce their carbon footprint.
To put into context just how efficient a 21 SEER2 heat pump is, the legal minimum SEER2 rating for HVAC systems in Arizona is just 14.3. The Lennox EL21KLV uses approximately 33% less energy than a heat pump or AC with a 14.3 SEER2 rating. Paired with a smart thermostat, the heat pump easily adapts to the local climate, which can help reduce costs further.
Enhanced Comfort With Variable-Speed Technology
The Lennox EL21KLV is a variable-speed heat pump. Rather than running at maximum capacity and cycling to maintain temperatures, it operates at partial speeds most of the time, limiting noise and avoiding sudden temperature shifts.
The EL21KLV pairs seamlessly with Lennox air handlers and filtration systems, offering another layer of comfort. An air purifier helps scrub dirt, dust, pollen, and other contaminants from your indoor air, making it healthier to breathe, especially for those with allergies or asthma.
Durability and Long-Term Savings
Durability is another strong point of the Lennox EL21KLV, factored into several design aspects. This includes:
- Variable-speed compressor
- PermaGuard cabinet
- SmartHinge louver
- Precision-balanced direct-drive fan
Besides enhancing comfort, the variable-speed compressor minimizes system wear and tear because of the slower operating speeds it allows. Along with the precision-balanced fan, these features reduce the vibrations responsible for some of the normal wear and tear a heat pump experiences.
The EL21KLV is housed in a durable PermaGuard case that protects it from the elements, such as rain and damage from debris and pests. However, thanks to the SmartHinge louver, the internal components are still easily accessible during maintenance.
When installing a new EL21KLV, you benefit from a 10-year limited warranty on the compressor and a 5-year limited warranty on covered components (which extends to 10 years with product registration). These warranties provide excellent coverage and highlight Lennox’s confidence in the EL21KLV’s durability.
Why Choose Lennox With Champion Air?
Installing a Lennox EL21KLV is not simple. If installed incorrectly, your heat pump will experience increased strain and rapid wear and tear during normal operation. This results in costly maintenance and a shortened lifespan.
It’s essential to always trust heat pump installation to an HVAC company with experience and specialized knowledge. With Champion Air, you know you’re getting the best of both because we’re a Lennox Premier Dealer, Lennox Partner of the Year, and Circle of Excellence award winner.
