Merit 80™ GAS FURNACE

We've put a lot of time into developing the Merit 80™ gas furnace because we know you put a lot of time into choosing the right products for your home. Lennox: Comfort since 1865


Lasting Comfort

 

From conception to production, our furnaces go through several series of rigorous tests. We purposely subject our equipment to extreme conditions. This ensures that you will receive quality products. We are so serious about quality that we run-test each and every unit before it leaves the factory. We are proud that Lennox quality standards are among the toughest in the industry.

Save Comfortably

Money in a Piggy BankWith an efficiency rating of 80.0%, the Merit 80 gas furnace not only keeps you warm, it can also reduce your energy bills when compared to older furnaces. The additional monthly savings means you'll be comfortable with the return on your investment for years to come.

Savings Chart
This chart depicts potential energy savings you can expect from the Merit 80™ furnace versus older furnaces with lower efficiency ratings. Criteria used in this example are 2,000 full load heating hours, with a 60,000 Btuh heating design load and $.65 ccf for gas. Your actual savings may vary depending on the weather patterns in your local area, local fuel rates and your individual lifestyle.

Quality Components Quality Components

1. DuralokPlus® Heat Exchanger — The heart of the furnace operates by burning the fuel inside the heat exchanger that warms the air traveling across the outside of the heat exchanger. Its patented crimped seam is a Lennox exclusive feature designed to provide longer life and safe operation.

2. Indoor Air Blower — Circulating air blower is dynamically balanced for quieter, more efficient operation, delivering warm, even comfort.

3. SureLight™ Control Board — Patented "adaptive technology" control module adjusts to ever-changing conditions for safe, reliable operation by providing just enough energy to light the burners without overheating the igniter, thereby extending the igniter life.

SureLight™ Igniter — Made of Silicon Nitride, a new rugged material that is much stronger than other hot surface igniters. It's virtually unbreakable.

 

    Flexible Installation — Units come in flexible upflow/horizontal and dedicated downflow configurations to meet application needs in almost any home.

4. Durable Steel Cabinet — has a high-quality paint that keeps the cabinet looking good and it was designed with mitered corners to make the unit stronger.

 

 

With the Merit 80 Gas Furnace you get more than warmth, you get Lennox quality.

Total Home Comfort

Diagram of the Merit 80 Furnace at Work
Your furnace typically resides inside the home in a variety of locations. The supply ducts forces warmed air into the home after the air has traveled cross the heat exchanger. At the same time the return duct is pulling the cooler air from the home sending it past the heat exchanger, starting the cycle over again.
