It is a floor-standing unit that keeps 71 US gallons of water in its tank, a thermal mass Thermo 2000 puts at the heart of the line. Its main job is to back up a renewable-energy heating system: an air-to-water heat pump, a geothermal system or solar collectors. When the main source can no longer keep up, the electric elements take over and the hot water loop holds its temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 24 kW size, or 81,888 BTU\/h at 240 V, suits a home heated with hot water that needs serious backup. It also suits homeowners who move forward in steps: the controller runs in standalone electric mode by default, so the boiler can heat on its own until the renewable source is added.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it fits a Quebec home\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur winters put air-to-water heat pumps to the test. During a cold snap, a reliable backup source makes the difference between a comfortable home and a radiant floor that struggles to keep up. The AltSource answers that need with four 6 kW elements spread over four stages. With the supplied outdoor sensor, the T2 UltraSmart controller modulates output and water temperature based on the weather outside. A Boost mode and a warm weather shutdown round out the settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe boiler serves radiant floors as well as hot water baseboards or radiators. Thermo 2000 recommends a #60 expansion tank for baseboards or radiant floors, and a #90 for cast iron radiators. If you also want to use this reserve for domestic water, the optional copper coil heat exchanger heats or preheats it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the electrical side, plan for a 240 V single-phase circuit on a 125 A breaker. The unit draws 100 A at 240 V; connected at 208 V, it delivers 18 kW. At 24 in in diameter and 380 lb, it needs real floor space in the mechanical room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat AirGreen’s installation covers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt all starts with a free on-site estimate. We look at the heating loop, the existing or planned main source, the floor space and your electrical panel’s capacity. You then receive a written quote that sets out the selected size and every step of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn installation day, our technicians set the boiler in place, make the electrical connection, connect it to the hot water loop, fill and purge the system, then set the controller for your distribution system. Before leaving, we show you how to read the temperature and pressure gauge and what the main settings do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAirGreen is a family business established in \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e for more than fifteen years, holding RBQ licence 5645-9605-01 in ventilation, refrigeration and electrical work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLet’s plan your backup system\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe install the AltSource in \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLongueuil\u003c\/strong\u003e, on the \u003cstrong\u003eNorth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e and on the \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAsk for your free estimate: we confirm the size with you, you receive a written quote and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/financement-avec-financeit\"\u003efinancing\u003c\/a\u003e is available.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thermo 2000","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67801875284260,"sku":"ALTSOURCE70-24","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/1694\/6724\/files\/CHAUDIERE_ELECTRIQUE_THERMO_2000_ALTSOURCE_70_24_KW_00_MONTREAL_LAVAL_LONGUEUIL_RIVE_SUD_RIVE_NORD.png?v=1793082242","url":"https:\/\/airgreen.ca\/en\/products\/chaudiere-electrique-a-masse-thermique-thermo-2000-altsource-70-24-kw-240v","provider":"AirGreen Climatisation \u0026 Chauffage \/ Air Conditioning \u0026 Heating","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
