Lennox Industries, a leading provider of high-performing home comfort solutions, brings advanced technology and even better reliability and durability to its family of residential heat pumps with the debut of its new Merit brand ML14XP1 Single-Stage Heat Pump, and Elite brand EL15XP1 High Efficient Single-Stage Heat Pump.

The new heat pumps feature Lennox’s proprietary Quantum Coil design, which makes them even longer-lasting, higher-performing, and more dealer-friendly than previous models. Later this year, Lennox will introduce two additional new high-efficiency heat pump products to its line-up:  The Elite EL16XP1 and the Merit ML16XP1, which also will feature Quantum Coil. Some of the primary advantages of Lennox’s Quantum Coil include:

• Energy Savings – The Quantum Coil is designed for smart energy use, and is designed with all-aluminum alloy to stand the test of time.
• Longer Lasting – This exclusive Lennox coil utilizes proprietary aluminum alloy tube and fins for superior corrosion resistance, including corrosion caused by outdoor environmental forces such as salt air, and indoor corrosive agents, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
• Dealer Friendly – The design makes units lighter than similar copper coil units, so they’re easier and safer to handle during transport and installation.

Lennox’s Merit ML14XP1 Single-Stage Heat Pump boasts a cooling efficiency of up to 14 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), and a Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) rating of 9.00, while Lennox’s Elite EL15XP1 Single-Stage Heat Pump offers up to 16 SEER and an HSPF rating of 9.00.

EL15XP1 Key Features and Benefits:

• Designed for Durability– Exclusive Lennox Quantum Coil design defends against corrosion in harsh environments for years of trouble-free cooling.
• Dealer-Friendly– Units weigh less, making installations quicker and safer for dealers.
• Comfortably Quiet – The precision-engineered scroll compressor, with its sound-dampening system, provides low noise levels and durability for homeowners.

ML14XP1 Key Features and Benefits:

• Built for Lasting Performance – With years of rigorous testing under the most extreme conditions, the all-aluminum alloy is designed to weather the harshest elements.
• Affordable – The trust and reliability of Lennox at a price that fits homeowners’ budgets.
• Dual-Fuel Compatible – When installed with a compatible Lennox furnace, it creates a heating system that can switch back and forth between electricity and gas automatically, based on whichever is most cost-efficient for the weather conditions at the time.

“Lennox heat pumps give homeowners maximum flexibility and energy savings and our exclusive Quantum Coil design offers the best of the best in terms of superior performance and peace of mind, resulting from years of rigorous design and testing,” said John Whinery, vice president, product management at Lennox Industries. “These new products are the latest examples of Lennox’ pledge to technological leadership and its ability to deliver unparalleled efficiency and comfort to homeowners no matter their budget, as well as equipment that is safer and easier for dealers and contractors to install and service.”
