The manufacturer presents it as the only high water volume electric boiler on the market. In its 50-18 version, it pairs a 48 US gal tank with four 4.5 kW elements, for 18 kW at 240 V, or 61,416 BTU\/h.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four elements come on in four stages. The T2 UltraSmart controller, supplied with its outdoor sensor, modulates output and water temperature to the weather, shuts heating off in warm weather and offers a Boost mode. It runs in standalone electric mode by default or in automatic transfer on an external contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eElectricity first\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 18 kW, the electrical question comes first. Thermo 2000 lists a current of 75 A at 240 V, a 100 A breaker and Cu 4 \/ Al 2 wire gauge. That is a significant load for a residential electrical service, which must also serve every other appliance in the house. In a building with a 208 V supply, output becomes 13.5 kW at 65.2 A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the estimate, we therefore review the loads on your panel. If the service needs to be changed, the written quote says so clearly, so you have the full picture before deciding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn a large home in Laval or Montreal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis size is meant for large homes in \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e heated by geothermal or an air-to-water heat pump, with a radiant floor, hot-water baseboards or radiators.
