RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
having jurisdiction before installation.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause personal injury, loss of life, or
damage to property.
Installation and service must be performed by a licensed
professional installer (or equivalent) or a service agency.

General

The Lennox XPG15 outdoor units use HFC−410A
refrigerant. This unit must be installed with a matched
indoor coil and line set as outlined in the Lennox
Engineering Handbook. XPG15 series outdoor units are
designed for use in check expansion valve systems only,
and are not designed to be used with other refrigerant flow
control devices. The Lennox Engineering Handbook lists
compatible indoor check expansion valve kits which are
ordered separately.
The Lennox dedicated dual−fuel XPG15 outdoor unit
technology allows the system to alternate between heat
pump heating when outdoor temperature is ABOVE 32°F
{0°C} and automatically switching over to gas furnace
heating when outdoor temperature is BELOW 32°F {0°C},
making the most efficient use of fuel sources.
The ComfortSense 5000 and 7000 are the ONLY room thermostats approved by Lennox for use with the XPG15 series heat pump.
