Comfort you can feel good about
Along with the state of California, we’re leading the way with low-NOx initiatives and solutions. These NOx, or Nitrogen Oxide, emissions from gas furnaces produce ground-level ozone, which impacts the environment and your health. And we’re proud to say that Lennox is the first and only company to provide a full line of ultra-low emission furnaces. Learn more about our ultra-low emissions furnaces.
A step up from single-stage furnaces because its gas valve offers an additional lower setting. Most of the time the unit will meet heating needs at its lower stage, resulting in balanced and consistent temperatures with lower energy use. Should the low heat setting not heat the space quickly enough, the furnace will switch to the high setting. This ability to switch between the two settings offers greater comfort and efficiency.
Energy efficiency that adapts to your needs
Equipped with the most efficient variable-speed blower motor available with the ability to slowly ramp the airflow up or down to provide consistently even temperatures as it only produces the necessary amount of airflow at any given time. Plus, variable-speed motors can run at a continuous low speed which allows for better air filtration and humidity removal.
iComfort® S30 ultra smart thermostat compatibility allows you to adjust your heating for energy savings based on your family’s routine.
The standard 80% AFUE means the SL280NV can reduce your heating costs, compared to an older furnace.
We have higher standards. Others think so, too.

SL280NV Variable-Speed, Ultra-Low Emissions Gas Furnace
Happy with our new Furnace
October 21, 2025We've had the Lennox SL280NV furnace installed in our home for just a couple of months, and while it hasn’t been cold enough yet to really put it to the test, we’re already impressed with its promise and the overall experience. It seems to pair perfectly with the Lennox A/C unit that was installed at the same time. The original builder's grade system wore out after twenty-five years. the "old system" never seemed to work as well as it should heating or cooling our home. From what we’ve seen so far, this furnace seems like a better fit for our home, and we are excited to share our initial thoughts. The installation process was seamless, thanks to our local Lennox Preferred Installer, A Plus Heating and Cooling. They were terrific to work with every step of the way, professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. From the initial consultations to the final setup, their team answered all our questions, explained the features of the SL280NV clearly, and ensured everything was installed perfectly. Their customer service and follow-up gave us confidence that we chose the right team and the right furnace. Even though we haven’t needed to run the furnace due to mild weather, we’ve tested it briefly, and it’s whisper-quiet and seems to distribute heat evenly. The two-stage heating and variable-speed blower are features we’re excited to experience fully this winter, as the system is designed to keep our home comfortable while operating efficiently it should be significantly more energy efficient than the system it replaced. The unit’s sleek design and compact size also fit neatly into our space, and we appreciate its modern engineering, and the efficiency-boosting components we learned about from A Plus. So far, the SL280NV gives us every reason to believe it’ll perform reliably when the cold hits. Paired with the outstanding service from A Plus Heating and Cooling, we are happy with our decision and can’t wait to see how this furnace handles the winter months!
