EL296DF070XE48B, 96% AFUE, Downflow, Gas Furnace, Constant Torque, 2 Stage, 70,000 Btuh, Elite Series

Elite® Series

EL296E High-Efficiency, Two-Stage Gas Furnace

Two-stage furnace with Power Saver™ technology

The EL296DF070XE48B's Power Saver™ Constant Torque motor is up to 33% more efficient than standard single-stage motors and up to 200% more efficient in constant fan mode.

Downflow

Energy Efficiency

• Efficiency rating of up to 96% AFUE—can save your customers hundreds of dollars each year*, compared to standard furnaces
• ENERGY STAR® qualified—meets or exceeds EPA guidelines for energy efficiency
• Power Saver™ motor operates at constant torque to help maintain consistent air flow
• Power Saver™ technology not only provides energy boost capabilities improving the overall system efficiency, similar to a variable speed furnace, but also delivers higher SEER ratings in cooling mode. In continuous fan mode, this technology helps keep energy waste at a minimum
• Two-Stage Gas Valve operates at a lower heating output for efficiency, switching to a higher output as needed
• Dual-fuel capability—can be combined with an electric heat pump to enhance comfort and fuel efficiency by alternating between electric and gas heat, optimizing energy use and minimizing heating costs

Quiet Operation

• Special sound-absorbing insulation—further reduces sound for quiet operation

Reliable Performance

• Duralok Plus™ heat exchanger—made of patented ArmorTuf™ steel to ensure high reliability and efficiency
• SureLight® igniter—silicone nitride construction ensures long product life and reliable operation
• SureLight control board—controls furnace operation to ensure high reliability and efficiency
• Multi-position models available

*Criteria used in this example are 2,000 full-load heating hours, with a 60,000 Btuh heating design load and $1.368 ccf for gas. Actual savings may vary, depending on weather patterns in the local area, local fuel rates and individual lifestyle.
