They also forgot to mention that the Pulse has a bad history of
cracked heat exchangers, leading to potential carbon monoxide
poisoning. I have a client where I measured elevated CO readings and
traced it back to the Pulse. Lennox is still offering aggressive
rebates to people with Pulses that have this problem, so you'll want
to have your HVAC company check into this to see if you qualify as it
could save you a few thousand on a new unit.
