Overview of the Lennox SL280V Furnace
The Lennox SL280V furnace encompasses everything the brand stands for. Quiet, reliable, and relatively fuel-efficient, it’s a popular pick for those seeking a new gas furnace.
A furnace’s energy efficiency is often measured in its annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE). It represents the percentage of fuel that’s converted into heat. The higher the AFUE rating, the more energy-efficient the furnace is.
The Lennox SL280V furnace’s AFUE is 80, meaning it converts up to 80% of its fuel into heat. Part of this fuel efficiency comes from its variable-speed operation, which allows it to reduce airflow as needed to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home.
Key Benefits of the Lennox SL280V Furnace
The Lennox SL280V furnace offers several benefits, including:
- Quiet operation: This furnace is one of the quietest on the market, thanks to superb noise insulation. It runs up to 4.5 times quieter than similar models.
- Consistent temperatures: Thanks to its two-stage heating, the Lennox SL280V can vary its heating output based on the ambient temperature to keep your home comfortable.
- Improved air quality: On lower operation speeds, the SL280V boosts air quality by constantly passing air through its filtration system and removing contaminants.
- Energy savings: If you’re replacing an older furnace, you’ll find the SL280V much more energy efficient. Lennox advertises a 25% savings in energy usage for climate control annually based on national average costs.
- Compatible with iComfort Touch smart thermostat: This furnace is fully compatible with the Lennox iComfort Touch smart thermostat for climate control from your phone or other internet-connected devices.
Installation and Maintenance of the Lennox SL280V
Installing your Lennox SL280V is simple with Champion Air. Once you’ve chosen this furnace, our team can schedule an appointment to get it up and running. While we can’t provide an exact cost online due to every installation being different, we can set up an appointment to give you an estimate that includes the price of the furnace and labor.
Regular maintenance is essential to keep your furnace running optimally for as long as possible. This includes changing the air filters regularly and investing in annual tune-ups.
Comparing the Lennox SL280V With Other Furnaces
Compared to other furnaces, the SL280V offers significant benefits. It’s quieter and more energy-efficient than many within its class, making it a compelling choice.
While some furnaces at a similar price point in the Dave Lennox Signature Collection lineup can outperform the SL280V in energy efficiency, they make more noise when running. So if you’re looking for a quieter system, the Lennox SL280V may be the perfect choice.
Is the Lennox SL280V the Right Furnace for Your Home?
Wondering if the Lennox SL280V is right for your home? It’s a solid choice at a midrange price point that should outperform your older furnace. However, if you’d prefer top-of-the-line energy efficiency, other options may better suit your needs.
Speak to your local Champion Air technician to discuss the suitability of the SL280V. They’ll be happy to help you determine whether it’s strong enough to suit your needs.
