How Lennox Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
Lennox builds solid equipment. But each line has its own failure patterns, and Los Angeles has a way of exposing them: short run cycles from mild winters, dust, and aging gas valves in older units. Here’s what we actually see in the field.
- Elite Series (EL296, EL297) – pressure switch faults. These high-efficiency condensing units use a pressure switch to confirm the inducer fan is pulling exhaust correctly. In Los Angeles, dust and soot build-up on the port or hose causes intermittent lockouts: the furnace tries to fire, clicks, and shuts down. We clean the port and replace the switch if it’s rusted or slow to close. Cheap fix, common call.
- Merit Series (ML193, ML195) – hot surface ignitor failures. The ignitor on these entry-level units gets brittle after three to five years, especially in our damp coastal air. The unit won’t light at all, but you’ll hear the inducer run. We keep OEM ignitors on the truck and typically have heat back inside an hour.
- Signature Collection (SLP98, SLP99) – modulating gas valve issues. These variable-capacity units constantly adjust firing rate. The gas valve and control board are complicated, and a communication error can leave the furnace running at low fire even on cold nights. We run through the board’s codes first – then replace the valve or board. This is the most expensive repair, usually $600 – $825.
- G61 and G71 series – heat exchanger cracks due to age. These mid-2000s units are coming to the end of their service life in LA homes. If your system is from the G-series era and carbon monoxide alarms are going off, or you see rust around the burner area, shut it down and call us. We’ll scope the heat exchanger. If it’s cracked, repair rarely makes sense – replacement is the honest recommendation.
- Common across all lines – dirty flame sensors. This isn’t model-specific, but LA’s dust makes it a regular failure point. The furnace lights, runs for five seconds, then shuts off. The sensor loses signal because it’s coated. We clean or replace it in under 30 minutes. It’s usually a $175 – $275 service call.
Our Lennox Furnace Repair Process
Marco Benitez trained at LA Trade-Tech and has worked on Lennox systems in the LA Basin since before the G61 was discontinued. Here’s how we handle a Lennox job from start to finish so you know what to expect before you ever call.
- 1
You call, we answer. A live person takes your call at any hour. We ask what the furnace is doing and what the house feels like – that gives us a head start on diagnosis.
- 2
Diagnosis with your input. The technician checks the thermostat call, inducer draft, ignitor, flame sensor, gas pressure, and control board codes. We find the root cause, not just the symptom.
- 3
Written quote before any work. The price you see before we start is the price you pay. No add-ons at the door. If we have to order a part, we tell you the lead time and cost up front.
- 4
The repair itself. We use OEM Lennox parts whenever warranty or compatibility requires, and quality aftermarket parts when the OEM part carries a dealer-only markup with no practical benefit. We explain that choice plainly.
- 5
Test and verify. After the repair, we cycle the furnace multiple times, check manifold gas pressure, and confirm safe operation before we leave.
- 6
Your written guarantee. Every repair comes with a full-year guarantee in writing. If it fails in that window, we return at no charge. That’s the Garrison Standard, and it’s the same on every job.

Why Los Angeles Homeowners Call Dalton Heating & Air for Lennox Work
We’re a Garrison Partners company, operating under The Garrison Standard since 2003. That’s a code, not a marketing line: arrive inside the window, price in writing before starting, do the job by the book, leave the site clean, and stand behind the work for a full year. If a repair doesn’t hold, the return visit is free.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and the dispatcher who takes your call knows who’s coming and when. Every tech is factory-trained across nine major brands – Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard – so when we work on your Lennox, we’re not learning on your machine. Los Angeles has thousands of Lennox systems sitting in closets and attics, and we service a lot of them. That field time matters.
We are an independent Lennox service provider. That means we’re not married to dealer pricing, and we’ll tell you honestly when an OEM part is worth it and when an aftermarket equivalent does the same job for less. No loyalty to a distributor, just to the person paying the bill.
FAQs
Yes, in most cases. We stock common Lennox parts – ignitors, flame sensors, pressure switches – on our trucks, so a typical repair is done on the first visit. Call (361) 306-9515 and we’ll give you a realistic arrival window.
No. Repairs performed by a licensed contractor using equivalent or OEM parts do not void a Lennox manufacturer warranty. We’re an independent Lennox service provider, and we work warranty-safe on every job. If the part is under manufacturer warranty, we help you file the paperwork.
It depends on the failure. If the heat exchanger is cracked on a 15-plus-year-old G61 or G71, replacement usually makes more financial sense – that repair often runs more than the unit is worth. For ignitor, flame sensor, pressure switch, or motor failures, repair is typically the smarter call. We’ll give you the numbers and tell you straight.
Most common parts are same-day from local LA supply houses we buy from daily. For specialty items on the Signature line, we can usually have the part in 24 – 48 hours. We tell you the lead time before you commit to anything.
Yes. Tune-ups run $95 – $235, and the visit includes a written report of what we found – no vague “it looks fine.” Our technicians aren’t paid on what they sell, so you won’t get pitched a replacement you don’t need. Call (361) 306-9515 to schedule.
