Frequently asked questions

Does the 23 Series really heat at -30°C?

The brand publishes a heating range down to -30°C and its table gives a value at that step: 4,100 BTU/h for the 9,000, 6,380 for the 12,000, 7,842 for the 18,000 and 15,311 for the 24,000 (normal operation, indoor air at 20°C).

What does a "published" value mean?

It is a value from the brand's heating table. AMERISTAR states that these capacities reflect normal operation; the table gives them with indoor air at 20°C.

Which breaker is needed?

The sell sheet gives a maximum breaker of 15 A for the 9,000 and the 12,000, 20 A for the 18,000 and 25 A for the 24,000, on 208-230 V.
