Variable-capacity, mid-efficiency, slim design
The Lennox EL18KSLV Elite Series is a variable-capacity, cold-climate heat pump. Designed for homes in colder regions, it provides both highly efficient heating and cooling in a slim, space-saving cabinet. The side-discharge design makes it ideal for tight spaces.
Key Features
- Efficiency ratings of up to 19.5 SEER2 (cooling) and 10.0 HSPF2 (heating), the EL18KSLV delivers significant energy savings.
- ENERGY STAR® Certified and may qualify for seasonal utility rebates
- Variable-capacity operation: The system adjusts its cooling and heating output like a dimmer switch, precisely matching your home's comfort needs. This eliminates temperature swings and delivers superior temperature and humidity control.
- Cold-climate technology: This heat pump is specifically engineered to deliver more warmth than traditional models, even during the coldest outdoor temperatures.
- Ultra-quiet operation: A slim cabinet and side-discharge design contribute to low sound levels, operating as quietly as 54 dB.
- Durable construction: It is built with a heavy-gauge steel cabinet for long-lasting performance and features a corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy Quantum™ Coil for enhanced durability, especially in Canadian climates.
- Compact, side-discharge design: The small footprint makes the EL18KSLV ideal for installation in tight spaces where traditional top-discharge units won't fit, such as narrow urban lots.
Technology and Reliability
- Digital-ready: The unit is compatible with Lennox smart thermostats, such as the iComfort® series, allowing for advanced features like smart home integration and remote monitoring. It is also "dual fuel ready" and can be paired with a gas furnace for greater heating flexibility.
- Environmentally friendly refrigerant: The EL18KSLV uses R-454B refrigerant, which has a lower global warming potential (GWP) than previous versions and is compliant with 2025 regulations.
- Warranty: Elite Series products come with a 10-year limited warranty on the compressor and a 5-year limited warranty on all other covered components. A 10-year extended limited warranty on components is available with product registration
