NORMAN, OKLA. – (August 27, 2009) – A compact size and some of the highest efficiency ratings in the industry make the new Coleman® (www.colemanhvacdealer.com) LX Series of multi-position gas furnaces an attractive choice for homeowners in search of an energy-efficient, home heating solution. What’s more, all condensing models qualify for the federal tax credit program.
Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings on models in the LX Series are as high as 96 percent (80 percent models are also available). The series includes single-stage models that feature a five-speed, direct-drive, X13-style high-efficiency DC motor that increases SEER ratings in the cooling mode and two-stage models that feature a variable-speed electronically commutated motor (ECM) to circulate air for longer periods of time, equating to consistent temperatures and improved air filtering, resulting in cleaner, more comfortable air. Variable-speed models also include EcoTrak technology, which provides homeowners with customizable airflow based on the region in which they live.
These units employ an induced combustion, reliable hot surface ignition and a high heat transfer aluminized tubular heat exchanger. An insulated blower compartment and quiet inducer operation ensure low noise levels during furnace operation. Indoor air quality is assured thanks to external air filters, and a timed-on, adjustable-off blower on select models delivers maximum comfort to homeowners.
At just 33 inches high, LX Series furnaces are easy to install in tight spaces, including basements, closets, alcoves, attics, recreation rooms and garages. Installation is made even easier thanks to the simple multi-position design, solid removable bottom panels for conversion, no knockouts and a patent-pending, self-priming internal condensate trap.
Servicing the furnaces is easy, too, thanks to a number of design features: ¼-turn knobs for door removal, access to controls to connect power/control wiring, a fully supported blower assembly for improved access and blower removal, and high-level, self-diagnostics with fault code.
End users can take advantage of a generous warranty program. 80% models include a twenty-year warranty on the heat exchanger while condensing models include a lifetime warranty on the heat exchanger. When applied in a commercial application, the heat exchanger warranty is 10-years on either model. In addition to the heat exchanger warranty, all models also include a 10-year limited parts warranty when the furnace is registered within 90 days of purchase. If registration does not occur in the specified time frame, the parts warranty defaults to 5-years.
