It is a 2nd-generation electric element furnace in the multiposition Hiboy format, designed for large houses, cottages with a finished basement or older homes whose envelope lets more heat escape. The size, however, is decided by an on-site calculation, not by eye: the same series comes in 10, 15 and 18 kW, and if a smaller size is enough, that is the one we recommend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its output, it fits in the same 20 x 21 in cabinet as the smallest sizes, which makes it easier to bring into an existing mechanical space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo 10 kW stages and airflow set for heat\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts four 5 kW elements are split into two equal stages: 10 kW on the first, 20 kW on the second. With a single-stage thermostat, the ComfortMax function analyzes each cycle and modulates the elements to limit short cycles; QuietComfort preheats recirculated air at low energy to smooth the step from one stage to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA feature of this model: Conforto sets the 1\/3 HP PSC motor at the factory to HIGH speed for heating, at 0.5 in of water column, which corresponds to 950 CFM in the manufacturer’s table. The published temperature rise runs from 60 to 80 °F; we measure it at commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA 125 A circuit: to be validated first\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe circuit is what sets this model furthest apart from the smaller sizes. Conforto calls for a 110 A minimum circuit ampacity and allows a breaker of no more than 125 A, with 3 AWG wire; the unit’s total amperage is 91 A. In practice, the furnace alone takes a good share of a residential panel’s capacity. Before proposing it, we note the capacity of your service and the appliances already connected. If the margin is short, there are two routes: increase the electrical service, or step down in size if the heating calculation allows it. The written quote sets out the option chosen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe furnace also accepts an air conditioner or heat pump coil of up to 3 tons. Sold alone, it is not a heat pump and does not qualify for the LogisVert grant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation by AirGreen\u003c\/h3\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 for ventilation, refrigeration and electrical work. On installation day, the same crew sets the furnace in the chosen position, connects it to the plenums, runs the 240 V circuit and hooks up the thermostat. Commissioning ends with a temperature rise measurement, expected between 60 and 80 °F according to Conforto, and the installation of the supplied 20 x 20 x 1 in filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe serve \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLongueuil\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003eNorth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour house needs a lot of heat: ask for a free estimate to confirm the right size.
