Owners who add an air-to-water heat pump, or another renewable-energy system, need a backup that can supply those radiators at high temperature. That is exactly the role of the AltSource 70-9: its water can be heated from 50 °F to 190 °F (10 °C to 88 °C), and Thermo 2000 gives specific recommendations for cast-iron radiators, baseboards and radiant floors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the AltSource 70-9 is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a thermal mass electric boiler, which Thermo 2000 presents as the only high water volume electric boiler on the market. Its tank holds 71 US gal of water. Its 9 kW output at 240 V, or 30,708 BTU\/h, comes from two 4.5 kW elements that come on in two stages. The T2 UltraSmart controller, supplied with its outdoor sensor, modulates output and water temperature on the outdoor temperature and shuts heating off in warm weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe controller runs in standalone electric mode by default. In automatic transfer mode, an external contact controls the unit when a main source is connected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to plan for in the mechanical room\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 71 US gal reserve needs a solid location. The unit weighs 380 lb before it is filled and measures 24 in in diameter and 28 in deep with the door. In a plex basement, we check the stairs, door frames and floor before confirming the location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the loop, the AltSource connects in 1 1\/4 in male NPT and operates at a maximum pressure of 30 psi. With cast-iron radiators, Thermo 2000 recommends a #90 expansion tank; with baseboards or a radiant floor, a #60. The circulator and tank are not among the supplied parts and are listed in the quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the electrical side, it needs a 240 V single-phase circuit with a 50 A breaker and Cu 8 \/ Al 6 wire gauge. In a building with a 208 V supply, output becomes 6.8 kW (32.6 A).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom estimate to commissioning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe start with a free on-site estimate: condition of the radiator loop, main source, electrical panel, access. You then receive a written quote. On installation day, we install the boiler, connect it to the loop and the electrical circuit, mount the outdoor sensor and supplied accessories, fill and purge the system, then set the controller.\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.
