CONFORTO Lowboy KLE-02-G020-03 Electric Furnace | 20 kW - 240V

A 20 kW low-profile furnace that replaces the old one without turning the basement upside down

Who the Conforto KLE-02-G020-03 is for

Many homes in the area still have a low-profile Lowboy furnace that was installed in the basement a long time ago. When it is time to replace it, the same question always comes back: will a new unit fit in the same space and connect to the same ducts? Conforto’s KLE-02-G020-03 was designed for exactly that situation. It is a 20 kW all-electric furnace, 34 1/2 in high, that sends warm air upward, straight into the plenum.

It suits homeowners who want simple central heating, with no outdoor unit for now, while keeping the door open to air conditioning. Its 1/3 HP PSC motor has three speeds, which we set to match your ductwork. Conforto builds it in Canada.

How it fits a Québec home

In the middle of winter, a furnace that starts at full power every cycle heats in bursts. Here, the four 5 kW elements are staged: a 10 kW first stage is enough on mild days, then full power takes over when the cold sets in. The ComfortMax control analyses each cycle and modulates the elements, while the QuietComfort function pre-warms recirculated air at low energy. According to Conforto, you get fewer short cycles and a steadier temperature from one room to the next.

The cabinet is fully insulated and the control board combines redundant high limits, over-voltage and under-voltage protection, and LED diagnostics. A 24 VAC terminal lets you connect an accessory such as a central humidifier, a welcome addition when the air gets dry in January.

Thinking about air conditioning? The furnace accepts a central air conditioner or heat pump coil up to 3.0 tons, on either the supply or the return side. With a heat pump, the elements become the backup heat and also take over during defrost.

What AirGreen’s installation covers

AirGreen is a family business established in Montreal for more than fifteen years, holding RBQ licence 5645-9605-01 for ventilation, refrigeration and electrical work. A 20 kW furnace needs a serious circuit: Conforto requires a breaker of no more than 125 A and 3 AWG wire. That is why we start with a free on-site estimate to check the panel, the available space and the condition of the ducts.

• removal of the old furnace and placement of the KLE in upflow;
• connection to the plenum and the return air, adapted as needed;
• electrical hookup and thermostat connection, 1 or 2 stage, smart if you wish;
• blower speed setting, temperature rise check and commissioning.
