When the owner hands most of the heating to an air-to-water heat pump or to geothermal, the loop needs a backup that matches it. Thermo 2000’s AltSource 70-18 plays that role: it is a thermal mass electric boiler designed as the backup source of a renewable-energy heating system, and the manufacturer presents it as the only high water volume electric boiler on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe features that matter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 71 US gal water tank, the AltSource 70 volume.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 kW at 240 V, or 61,416 BTU\/h, split into four 4.5 kW elements over four stages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater heated from 50 °F to 190 °F (10 °C to 88 °C), for cast-iron radiators as well as a radiant floor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe T2 UltraSmart controller and its outdoor sensor, which modulate output and water temperature to the weather and shut heating off in mild weather.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo modes: standalone electric by default, or automatic transfer on an external contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermo 2000 also offers an optional 26.2 sq ft parallel copper coil heat exchanger to heat or preheat domestic water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePreparing the job\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the electrical side, Thermo 2000 lists 75 A at 240 V, a 100 A breaker and Cu 4 \/ Al 2 wire gauge; at 208 V, output becomes 13.5 kW at 65.2 A. We review the building’s electrical service before confirming the quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the hydronic side, the unit connects in 1 1\/4 in male NPT and operates at a maximum pressure of 30 psi. With cast-iron radiators, the manufacturer recommends a #90 expansion tank; with baseboards or a radiant floor, a #60. Finally, the AltSource 70-18 weighs 380 lb before filling and measures 24 in in diameter and 28 in deep with the door: in a plex basement, access is checked before installation day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat we do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the free on-site estimate, you receive a written quote that specifies the boiler, circulator, expansion tank, the domestic water option if you choose it, and the electrical work. Our technicians then install the unit, 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.
