CONFORTO Lowboy KLE-02-G027-05 Electric Furnace | 27 kW - 240V

The largest Conforto Lowboy, to heat and cool a large home

A low-profile furnace built for big spaces

In a large home, the furnace does more than heat: it also has to move a lot of air, through ductwork that is often long, and sometimes serve as the base for a large central air conditioning system. The Conforto KLE-02-G027-05 was designed for that role. At 27 kW, or 92,190 BTU/h according to Conforto, it is the strongest Lowboy in the series, still in a 34 1/2 in high cabinet that blows air out through the top.

It is mainly for homeowners replacing a low-profile furnace in a basement where a tall furnace would not fit, and whose home has high heating needs.

A blower sized for the house

What changes compared with the smaller sizes is the blower: a 12 x 10 in wheel driven by a four-speed 3/4 HP PSC motor. On HIGH, Conforto publishes 1,775 CFM at 0.2 in. w.c. and 1,600 CFM at 0.5 in. w.c. That airflow allows a central air conditioner or heat pump coil up to 5.0 tons, on the supply or the return side.

Heating, for its part, happens in stages. The six elements, three of 5 kW and three of 4 kW, do not all start at once: a 15 kW first stage covers most days, and the rest is added during cold snaps. ComfortMax modulates the elements every cycle and QuietComfort pre-warms recirculated air at low energy.

How it fits your home

A furnace this size needs planning. Conforto requires a 240 V single-phase circuit with a 150 A minimum ampacity, a breaker of no more than 150 A and 1 AWG wire. In many homes, that is a large share of the electrical service capacity: it must be checked before choosing this size. On the safety side, the furnace has redundant high limits, over-voltage and under-voltage protection, and a fully insulated cabinet.

AirGreen’s installation

AirGreen is a family business established in Montreal for more than fifteen years. With our RBQ licence 5645-9605-01 for ventilation, refrigeration and electrical work, we handle the whole job:

1. visit and free estimate: heating needs, electrical service, ducts, basement space;
2. written quote, with or without cooling;
3. replacement of the old furnace, connection to the ducts and electrical hookup;
4. 1 or 2 stage thermostat, blower speed selection and commissioning.

Let’s plan your project

We install in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore and the South Shore. The bigger the project, the more it pays to talk about it early.
