Quick facts
27 kW and 1,775 CFM in a 20 x 21 in cabinet
Large capacity, small footprint
A large home does not always have a large, open basement. Often, the furnace has to fit in a mechanical room shared with the water heater and the electrical panel, or in a utility closet. The Conforto KHE-02-G027-05 answers that constraint: 27 kW of heat, or 92,190 BTU/h according to Conforto, in a Hiboy cabinet 20 in wide by 21 in deep.
It suits homeowners who need a lot of heat and strong airflow, but not a lot of floor space. It installs upflow, downflow or horizontal on the right side.
What the house gains
The 12 x 10 in blower, driven by a four-speed 3/4 HP PSC motor, moves up to 1,775 CFM at 0.2 in. w.c. on HIGH, and 1,600 CFM at 0.5 in. w.c. That is what allows the furnace to take a central air conditioner or heat pump coil up to 5.0 tons, on the supply or the return side. With a heat pump, the elements become the backup, and the control turns one or more of them on during defrost.
Heating, for its part, stays gradual. Six elements, three of 5 kW and three of 4 kW, come on in stages: 15 kW in the first stage, then the rest as demand requires. ComfortMax modulates the elements every cycle, QuietComfort pre-warms recirculated air at low energy, and redundant high limits look after safety.
Before choosing this size
Two points are checked first. The electrical side: Conforto lists a 114 A total current, a breaker of no more than 150 A and 1 AWG wire, at 240 V single phase. Then the position: horizontal on the left side is not allowed, nor is placement on the front or back, and a non-combustible base is mandatory in downflow on a combustible floor.
