Industry-renowned efficiency, precise temperature control and new remote servicing capabilities improve home owner experience and reinforce Lennox’ leadership in product innovation.
Lennox Industries (Lennox), a trusted HVAC brand for 125 years, is raising the bar on its Ultimate Comfort System, by unveiling a 99 percent efficient gas furnace with enhanced diagnostics, and a new Lennox PROs Service Dashboard for contractors, in order to improve customer relationship management and remote service capabilities.
SLP99V gas furnace
Following years of research, development and technological innovation, Lennox engineered the Dave Lennox Signature Collection model SLP99V gas furnace, which functions at 99 percent Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE). This means the furnace essentially converts every last bit of energy it uses into heating the home – a never-before-seen achievement.
The SLP99V gas furnace is compatible with Lennox’ full line of iComfort smart home thermostats, which enables home owners and contractors, through secure homeowner access permissions, to conveniently control comfort levels, save energy and properly maintain the HVAC system.
SilentComfort technology

And, through incredible feats of engineering, the SLP99V’s SilentComfort technology minimizes sound output, while maintaining impressive power, thereby making it the quietest furnace on the market.
John Whinery, the Vice President (VP) of Product Management - Lennox International Residential HVAC, at Lennox, said “We constantly challenge ourselves to provide home owners and contractors with the best of the best, and we achieved this with the SLP99V furnace and LennoxPros Service Dashboard. The furnace’s variable-speed fan and modulating heat quietly ramps up and down, to provide the perfect amount of clean, comfortable air, while minimizing energy use.”
Digital communications capability
He adds, “Its digital communications capability enables it to work more precisely with the air conditioner, air purification system and smart thermostat, and provide diagnostics and prognostics, to help contractors better tune, repair and predict, when service is needed. These products demonstrate our continual commitment to the pursuit of perfect air in the home and achieving the highest level of customer service, and operational efficiency for our contractors.”
In addition to its unparalleled efficiency – which earned it ENERGY STAR’s Most Efficient of 2020 – the furnace offers Precise Comfort Technology modulating airflow and heating from 35 percent to 100 percent. This provides the perfect amount of warm, cool or clean air to the home while using up to two-thirds less energy to circulate the air.
New remote diagnostic capabilities
The furnace’s new remote diagnostic capabilities and digital system with Wi-Fi connectivity enable the contractor to tune the system for optimal comfort, at the time of installation and monitor it throughout its life, so as to ensure the home owner consistently receives the best comfort.
With the home owner’s permission, the contractor can remotely control, monitor or troubleshoot the system from a mobile device or personal computer, through the updated Service Dashboard.
