Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Lennox Merit different from other entry-level ACs?
The Lennox Merit Series offers up to 16 SEER2 efficiency with Lennox's renowned build quality. While positioned as their value line, it still features a reliable single-stage scroll compressor, quiet operation, and the engineering standards that have made Lennox a trusted name for over 125 years.
What tonnage do I need for my home?
The right tonnage depends on your home's size, insulation, number of windows, and other factors. As a general guide: 2–2.5 ton for homes under 1,500 sq ft, 3 ton for 1,500–2,000 sq ft, and 3.5–5 ton for larger homes. Our technicians perform a free in-home load calculation to recommend the perfect size.
Is the Merit Series compatible with smart thermostats?
Yes. The Lennox Merit Series works with most standard and smart thermostats, including Lennox's own iComfort line. Your H&C technician can recommend the best thermostat pairing for your setup during installation.
What warranty does the Lennox Merit come with?
Lennox provides a 10-year limited parts warranty when the unit is properly registered. H&C handles all warranty registration as part of your installation. Our 24/7 support line is always available for any post-installation questions or service needs.
How does the Merit compare to the Lennox Elite?
The Merit is a single-stage unit (up to 16 SEER2) ideal for straightforward cooling at a great value. The Elite is a two-stage unit (up to 18 SEER2) that offers quieter operation, better humidity control, and more even temperatures. Both are excellent choices — the right one depends on your comfort priorities and budget.
What happens to my old air conditioner?
We take care of everything. H&C provides full white glove service — we disconnect and remove your old unit, dispose of it responsibly, and leave your pad and surrounding area cleaner than we found it. You won't have to lift a finger or worry about what to do with the old equipment. That's the H&C standard on every job.
