Which Lennox Brand is best?

11 years ago

OK, so I think I will go with one of the following "Lennox" models/quotes, noting that I won't be choosing an R22 coil!

Any recommendations on Merit vs Aire-flow vs Concord?

1. 80%, 70K, $3,250, Lennox, MERIT ML180UH070P36A, Coil: CX-34-31 R22

2. 80% ?K, $3,700, Lennox, AIRE-FLO 80AF1D070P12A, Coil: AC24AE1A COUNTERFLOW EVAPORATOR COIL

3. 80%, 70K, $3,100, Lennox, Concord, Coil: R410 ready

Sort by:Oldest

Why 80% eff furnaces?

Your location?

Size of home and size of existing furnace?

Price includes new outside AC condenser or are you keeping existing?

Hi- thanks for the followup: 80% because it is a condo unit, and venting via PVC would be problematic. Location: MA. Unit is 850 sq ft. We are keeping the existing AC unit but likely need to replace the coil as it is in the base of the downflow furnace.

You are being grossly oversized on furnace quotes.

Hi: I think it is around 90BTU. It is a Bryant downflow from 1963.
