ELIOS EBC wall unit · essential tier
The EBC sticks to the essentials: ELIOS’s only R-454B in 115 V, and two large sizes that hold down to −25 °C.
To cool in summer and heat as a supplement: heating down to −20 °C (−25 °C on the 30,000 and 36,000), 100-step modulation, and a 12,000 that plugs into a 115 V outlet. Seven listings, 9,000 to 36,000 BTU/h.

Questions
Questions about the ELIOS EBC wall unit.
Can the EBC heat a room all winter?
It heats down to −20 °C per ELIOS (−25 °C on the 30,000 and 36,000), but with less capacity in the cold than the EMC: an EBC 12,000 gives 8,000 BTU/h at −15 °C, an EMC 12,000 gives 11,500. For primary heating we look at the EMC first.
Does the 115 V EBC plug into any outlet?
It runs on 115 V, but the submittal calls for a circuit protected at 20 A maximum (19 A MCA). We check the circuit before installation.
Why did the EBC’s AHRI number change?
The EBC certificates were reissued: the June 2026 submittals carry numbers 2184657xx and 21863154x. Those are the ones NEEP, ENERGY STAR and Hydro-Québec use today.
Does the EBC have a leak sensor?
Per ELIOS’s August 2026 matrix, only the EBC 30,000 and 36,000 get one, from July 2026 production. Every EMC has one.
Can it be used for cooling only?
Yes: ELIOS provides a parameter that locks out heating on EBC indoor units.
What warranty on the EBC?
ELIOS publishes 1 year on parts and 5 years on the compressor, with optional 10-year parts and compressor coverage. ELIOS publishes no labour warranty.
Does the EBC replace my e21?
That is the succession ELIOS plans. Watch the 9,000 in 115 V: the EBC comes in 115 V only as a 12,000. We look at the room before proposing the size.
