It combines four 6 kW elements, controlled in four stages, with a 48 US gal tank, for 24 kW at 240 V, or 81,888 BTU\/h. Like the rest of the series, it is a thermal mass electric boiler designed as the backup source of a renewable-energy heating system, which the manufacturer presents as the only high water volume electric boiler on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T2 UltraSmart controller and its outdoor sensor are supplied. They modulate output and water temperature to the weather, shut heating off in warm weather and offer a Boost mode. The controller runs in standalone electric mode by default or in automatic transfer on an external contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA decision that starts at the electrical panel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 24 kW, electricity is not a detail. Thermo 2000 lists a current of 100 A at 240 V, a 125 A breaker and Cu 2 \/ Al 0 wire gauge. In a building with a 208 V supply, output becomes 18 kW at 87 A. Before recommending this size, we therefore do a full review of the electrical service and state clearly, in the quote, the work required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to choose the AltSource 50-24\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis size suits very large homes and buildings with a high heating demand, in \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e as on the \u003cstrong\u003eNorth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e, when geothermal, an air-to-water heat pump or solar does most of the work and a substantial backup is needed for the deep cold. Thermo 2000 offers the same output as an AltSource 70, with 71 US gal of water; the AltSource 50-24 keeps a more compact unit, 22 in in diameter, 25 1\/2 in deep with the door and 56 7\/16 in high, weighing 280 lb before filling. When the mechanical room is small, that often makes the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the loop, the unit connects in 1 in male NPT and operates at a maximum pressure of 30 psi. The manufacturer recommends a #30 expansion tank with baseboards or a radiant floor, and a #60 with cast-iron radiators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation by AirGreen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the free on-site estimate, the written quote details the boiler, circulator, expansion tank and electrical work. On installation day, our technicians set the AltSource in place, connect it to the loop and the circuit, mount the supplied outdoor sensor, relief valve and air vent, then fill, purge and set up the system with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermo 2000 covers the tank for 15 years in residential use and 10 years in commercial use, and the electrical and mechanical components for 2 years.
