It produces 18 kW, or 61,460 BTU\/h at 240 V, with four elements of 5, 4, 5 and 4 kW split into two stages: 9 kW, then 18 kW. It replaces a Lowboy of the same format in a house with high heating needs whose ducts were laid out for this type of unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts 1\/2 HP Ecotech ECM motor offers five speeds. That is what makes this furnace a good base for a cooling project: its five speeds leave room to set the airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdding cooling to a house heated by a Lowboy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou want to cool a house in \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLongueuil\u003c\/strong\u003e or on the \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e that is already heated by forced air: with this furnace, the coil goes on the supply plenum or the return, and DIP switch 3 tells the control where it is. Its capacity must not exceed 3 tons. The thermostat can be 1 or 2 stage for cooling (terminals Y1 and Y2).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConforto publishes 1,275 CFM at HIGH speed, at 0.2 in of water column, and 1,200 CFM at 0.5 in, with intermediate speeds to fine-tune it all. We choose the settings based on the pressure measured in your ducts and the coil selected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you choose a central heat pump rather than an air conditioner, the elements become the backup heat, and the control turns one or more of them on during defrost. The furnace sold alone is not a heat pump and does not qualify for the LogisVert grant; heat pump eligibility is checked separately, based on the model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eElectrical and space\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConforto calls for a 240 V single-phase circuit with a 100 A minimum circuit ampacity, a breaker of no more than 100 A and 3 AWG wire. The cabinet takes 21 1\/2 x 44 in of floor space for 34 1\/2 in of height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, we review your electrical service: air conditioning adds its own load to the panel, on top of the furnace. We also measure the location and the service clearance required by the manual, then check how the 20 x 20 in warm air plenum and the 18 1\/2 x 18 1\/2 in return connect to your ducts.\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.
