The compressor looks like a single speed, traditional unit. Definitely not variable speed.

The furnace is a dual speed blower.  What I'm unclear on - is this a traditional dual-speed (no electronics inside) motor winding method to get dual speed options.  Or is it a single-speed motor with some PCM or similar electronics to give a 50% (or whatever) speed.  I will have to look in the manual to see if there are some hints there.

    We are looking at a replacement HVAC and these items are proposed for
    the install.  I'm paranoid about the RFI noise profile out of modern
    HVAC systems and would be interested in any comments.

    The Lennox P/N recommended are:

    Merit series - ML14XC1$-042 compressor 14 SEER

    Elite series - EL280UH090E488 dual-speed (2-stage?) furnace 80%

    The installer is aware of the Lennox 604552-01 kit which includes a
    differential filter and a snap-on toroid.  I've made it clear that
    the
    single snap-on toroid is likly and that a multi-turn type 31 would be
    used in lieu if needed.  Which would not have a warranty issue as the
    HVAC guy and I share a common electrician who has vouched for the
    safety
    of this "mod."  And we have discussed that similar (multi-turn
    toroid)
    treatment may be added to the thermostat line as well.

    Appreciate any advice on other guys who may have experience with
    Lennox
    gear in general, or these families in particular.
