Our take in 30 seconds
Best for: mixed climates with occasional hard freezesStrengths
- Cooling efficiency up to SEER2 20, better than 72% of models
- Variable-speed compressor: quieter, steadier temperatures and better humidity control
- Uses newer, lower-impact R-454B refrigerant
Good to know
- Efficiency depends on the indoor unit: SEER2 ranges 15.2–20, so ask which pairing you're quoted

Heating capacity as it gets colder
A heat pump's output falls as outdoor temperature drops. This is the certified heat output of the Lennox EL19KPV-024-230A** at the three ENERGY STAR test temperatures (cooling capacity is 24,000 BTU/h for reference).
Retention at 17°F: 66% · at 5°F: 66%. Learn how to use these numbers in our cold-climate guide.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Lennox EL19KPV-024-230A** cost to run per year?
At the U.S. average residential electricity price of 18.16¢/kWh and typical national heating and cooling hours, we estimate about $1,142 per year ($826 heating, $315 cooling). It ranges from about $663 in Louisiana to $2,578 in Maine.
Does the Lennox EL19KPV-024-230A** work in cold weather?
It is not ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified. It delivers 17,000 BTU/h at 5°F (66% of its 47°F capacity), so in very cold climates expect more reliance on backup heat.
What size is the Lennox EL19KPV-024-230A**?
It is rated at 24,000 BTU/h of cooling, roughly 2 tons, and 25,600 BTU/h of heating at 47°F. Proper sizing should be confirmed with a Manual J load calculation.
