Lennox HVAC Installation and Service in San Antonio
Signature, Elite, and Merit series, iComfort thermostat integration, full Lennox AC and furnace install and repair.
Above & Beyond installs Lennox HVAC equipment for San Antonio homeowners who specifically want the Lennox brand. We are not a Lennox Premier Dealer; that is an honest disclosure, not a defect. Tommy Coffey holds top dealer-tier status with four other major brands (Day & Night Premier Elite, Carrier Factory Authorized, American Standard Customer Care, Trane Comfort Specialist). The manufacturers we chose to pursue dealer-tier with are the ones with the strongest SA parts networks and pricing.
We still install Lennox. The TDLR Class A license under Tommy's name covers Lennox installation and warranty registration just like any other brand. Our workmanship standards (Manual J load calculation, refrigerant charge by weight, deep vacuum to 500 microns, full commissioning documentation) apply to every install regardless of brand. The only differences vs a Day & Night install: we do not have the extended labor warranty option Lennox offers through their Premier Dealer program, and parts availability in SA can be more constrained for some Lennox models.
What You Should Know About Lennox HVAC in San Antonio
Consideration #1: Premium Tier Strengths
The Lennox Dave Lennox Signature Collection (XC25, XP25 heat pump, SLP99V furnace) is one of the best premium variable-speed lineups in the industry. SEER2 ratings up to 26 are exceptional, and Lennox's modulating gas furnaces handle dehumidification better than most competitors. For homeowners who specifically want the highest-efficiency residential HVAC available and are willing to pay the premium-tier price, Lennox is a legitimate choice.
Consideration #2: Parts Availability Tradeoffs in SA
Lennox parts availability in the SA market is more variable than Day & Night, Carrier, or American Standard. Common parts (capacitors, contactors, fan motors, control boards) ship within 1-3 business days from regional warehouses. Specialty Lennox parts (Smart Hub controllers, complex inverter modules for the XC25 and XP25, brand-specific ECM blower assemblies) can take 5-7 business days. ICP-family brands (Day & Night, Carrier, Bryant) have stronger SA parts networks because of shared infrastructure.
Consideration #3: Premier Dealer Network in SA
Lennox's Premier Dealer program offers extended labor warranty and direct factory support to customers who go through Premier Dealer installers. Above & Beyond is NOT a Lennox Premier Dealer. If you want the Lennox Premier Dealer extended labor warranty, you would need to find a different installer who holds that designation. If you are comfortable with our standard 30-day callback warranty plus the Lennox 10-year parts manufacturer warranty registered through TDLR, we can install Lennox.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lennox a good HVAC brand?
Yes, particularly at the premium variable-speed tier where the Dave Lennox Signature Collection is competitive with the best in the residential HVAC industry. SEER2 ratings up to 26 are exceptional. Tradeoffs in the SA market: more variable parts availability than ICP-family brands (Day & Night, Carrier, Bryant), and Above & Beyond is not a Lennox Premier Dealer so we do not offer Lennox's extended labor warranty option.
How much does a Lennox system cost in San Antonio?
For a 3-ton AC: Merit (single-stage value) $7,800-$9,800; Elite (two-stage, IRA-eligible) $10,200-$13,200; Signature XC25 (variable-speed premium) $15,500-$19,800. After IRA tax credit and CPS Energy rebates, Elite and Signature tiers net out $1,900-$3,200 lower.
Should I get a Lennox or a Day & Night?
Honest answer: depends on what you value. Lennox Signature is one of the best premium variable-speed systems available; Day & Night Performance Series (sister-brand to Carrier, made in the same ICP factory) gives you Carrier-equivalent engineering at $1,200-$2,200 less. If brand preference or specific Lennox features (SunSource solar integration, iHarmony zoning) matter, Lennox. If cost-per-SEER2 and parts availability matter, Day & Night Performance Series.
What is the warranty on Lennox equipment when you install?
10-year parts warranty from Lennox, registered through their dealer portal within 60 days of install (we file day-of-install). 1-year labor warranty under Above & Beyond. We do NOT offer the Lennox Premier Dealer extended labor warranty option because we are not a Premier Dealer.
Do you service Lennox iComfort S30 systems?
Yes. We carry the Lennox iComfort Service App for diagnostic capability on iComfort S30 systems. iComfort S30 specialty parts (Smart Hub, S30 thermostat, communicating board) have 3-7 day lead times from regional warehouses; we will let you know upfront if a specific part is constrained.
