Lennox introduces the Dave Lennox Signature® Collection CBX40UHV variable speed air handler. With improved airflow, indoor air quality, and heat mode ramping, theCBX40 is the quietest and most efficient air handler you can buy, according to the company.*

It is also more compact and is easy to install and service.

In heating mode, the CBX40 increases airflow slowly, virtually eliminating the “cold blow” common with some air handlers.  By slowly ramping up the motor, a heat pump and EvenHeater® staged electric heat strips can “pre-heat” to avoid a drafty feeling in the winter. Low-speed operation helps keep sound to a minimum.

A built-in filtration system helps clean the air of allergy-aggravating particles, while the antimicrobial drain pan inhibits mold and mildew growth.  The insulated blower compartment further reduces sound for quiet operation and meets Florida standards for less than 2% air leakage.

Contractors will appreciate the factory-installed MERV 16 media filter with tool-free filter access, and the factory-provided knockout for the Lennox Healthy Climate® UV lamp. They’ll also like the smaller size of the CBX40, compared to other IAQ-integrated air handlers, the company says.

The Dave Lennox Signature® Collection CBX40UHV variable speed air handler carries a 10-year limited warranty on covered components.
