Protip: Go back in time and do NOT buy a Lennox furnace with their totally proprietary and non-standard 10F81 iComfort Wifi Thermostat, because when the thermostat's screen dies - and it will - you won't be able to replace it with an ordinary thermostat.
It uses some magic protocol over the wires to talk to the furnace, and you can't just drop in an Ecobee or a Nest or whatever. And the Lennox dealer wants $1100 + HST for a replacement.
