As the featured cooling product for the Lennox Ultimate Comfort™ System, the XC25 air conditioner boasts a cooling efficiency of up to 25.00 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), and is the most precise and efficient air conditioner a homeowner can currently buy. The XP25 heat pump has a cooling efficiency of up to 23.50 SEER and a HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) rating of 10.20, making it an ideal option for areas where a heat pump can provide optimal heating and cooling for a homeowner based on the regional climate.

The new Lennox Ultimate Comfort System includes the highest efficiency products Lennox has to offer – the XC25 air conditioner or XP25 heat pump combined with the icomfort Wi-Fi® thermostat, SLP98V gas furnace,  PureAir™ air purification system and the iharmony™ zoning system –  and redefines precision, efficiency and customized comfort for homeowners.

Key Features and Benefits

• Most efficient air conditioner and heat pump
• Precise control to consistently maintain desired home temperature
• Up to 50 percent quieter than a standard air conditioner**
• Connected with icomfort Wi-Fi®, homeowners can adjust the temperature anytime, anywhere

"The XC25 and XP25 are the latest examples of Lennox' commitment to innovation and its ability to deliver premium efficiency and comfort to homeowners," said David Nark, director, product management at Lennox Industries. "When one of these new systems is combined with existing industry-leading Lennox products to comprise the Lennox Ultimate Comfort System, homeowners can conserve energy and save money with an advanced, efficient and capable heating, cooling and indoor air quality solution."

The XC25 and XP25 are equipped with Precise Comfort^™ technology, allowing homeowners to adjust output increments by just one percent, enabling a home to maintain a consistent temperature at all times.  Lennox Climate IQ™ technology enables the systems to modify output depending on the area in which the homeowner lives. In warmer climates, the units adjust to provide greater humidity control, while in cooler climates, the units regulate themselves to allow for more heat absorption before circulation – another factor which makes the XC25 and XP25 the most precise and efficient air conditioner and heat pump a homeowner can buy.*

In addition to customized cooling, SilentComfort™ technology reduces operating noise levels, making the XC25 and XP25 up to 50 percent quieter than a standard air conditioner.**  Also, to add to the systems' industry-leading energy efficiency, both units are SunSource® Solar-Ready, enabling them to be paired with the Lennox SunSource solar-powered heating and cooling system's solar modules to provide homeowners a greater opportunity to conserve energy and save on utility bills.
