Lennox on Thursday released a new residential gas furnace.
What’s happening: The model “offers an efficiency rating of up to 99%” and is “dual-fuel compatible, allowing it to pair with an electric heat pump and alternate between fuel sources to help optimize comfort and efficiency in varying weather conditions,” the company said in an announcement.
- It’s integrated with a refrigerant detection system, eliminating the need for a separate installation kit.
