Reading the model number
EL is Lennox's Elite line, 2 means two-stage, 97 is the AFUE, and DF is downflow. 090 is the 88,000 BTU input, X means it meets California's 40 ng/J NOx standard, V is the variable speed blower motor, 60 is the nominal add-on cooling size, and C is the 21-inch cabinet.
What it pairs with
Downflow coils with the same letter match the furnace's supply air opening, so you want a Lennox CK40DT coil with C in its size code.
The AHRI Directory lists this furnace in certified systems with CK40DT coils and Lennox EL15KC1, EL16KC1, EL18KCV, EL22KCV, ML13KC1, ML14KC1, and ML17KC2 air conditioners, plus EL16KP1, EL18KSLV, EL19KPV, EL21KLV, and ML14KP1 heat pumps. Your efficiency rating depends on the exact outdoor unit, coil, and furnace together.
Sizing and fit
Size the furnace from a Manual J load calculation. Filters and filter mounting aren't included, so plan for a filter rack.
Even with the X low NOx code, Lennox says this furnace series can't go in the South Coast and San Joaquin Valley air districts.
