Quick facts
One unit to heat in winter and move plenty of air in summer
Heating plus large air conditioning
The Dettson Suprême Avantage SUP20-A240D20 is aimed at homes where cooling matters as much as heating. On the heating side, it delivers 20 kW at 240 V and 15 kW at 208 V, or 51,256 BTU/h, with elements that switch on in sequence and a 10 kW first stage. On the air side, its 1 HP direct-drive PSC motor, with 4 speeds and a 12 x 9 blower wheel, moves up to 2,030 CFM at 0.5 in w.c.
For heating, Dettson factory-sets the motor to its low speed: 970 CFM at 0.5 in w.c., for a published temperature rise of 55 to 75 °F at 240 V. The higher speeds remain available for cooling, up to a 5-ton coil. On the front panel, the continuous-fan switch, the low/high power switch, the heat-demand indicator light and the breakers stay within reach.
The homes that benefit
Think of large ducted homes in Laval, on the North Shore or on the South Shore that want high-capacity central air conditioning, or a central heat pump with the furnace elements as backup. In that case, Dettson does not allow the elements and the heat pump to heat at the same time; the K03081 interface makes it possible to follow that rule.
High airflow only makes sense if the ducts can carry it. Before pairing a large coil, we inspect your system and tell you frankly whether it needs changes.
Connection and location
The furnace is wired at 240/208 V on two wires, or on three wires with accessories. Dettson calls for a 125 A maximum breaker at 240 V (100 A at 208 V) and publishes a 107.4 A ampacity. It is multi-position: upflow, downflow with the DFB-SUP base depending on the floor, horizontal or suspended, at 36 1/2 in high and 22 in deep. It is approved for zero clearance and for copper or aluminum wiring.
What AirGreen takes care of
AirGreen is a family business established in Montreal for more than fifteen years, with RBQ licence 5645-9605-01 for ventilation, refrigeration and electrical work. We handle:
- the free estimate, with an inspection of the ducts and the electrical panel;
- a written quote covering the furnace and, if needed, the coil;
- setting the unit, the electrical connection and the duct connections;
- choosing the heating and cooling speeds, then commissioning.
Dettson covers parts for 5 years in residential use. We work in Montreal, Longueuil and throughout the region.
Let’s plan your comfort, winter and summer
Ask for a free estimate for a furnace alone or a complete project with air conditioning: you receive a clear written quote. Financing can lighten the investment.
Heating in winter, strong cooling in summer
The SUP20-A240D20 heats at low speed, factory-set at 970 CFM, and its 1 HP motor goes up to 2,030 CFM at 0.5 in w.c. It accepts an air-conditioning or heat-pump coil of up to 5 tons.
- Large ducted homes with high-capacity central air conditioning
- A central heat pump of up to 5 tons, with the elements as backup
- Replacing a 20 kW furnace on a 240 V two-wire circuit
- Basement, horizontal or suspended installations

What to know before installing
- Sold alone, an electric furnace is not a heat pump: it does not qualify for the LogisVert grant.
- Large dedicated circuit: 125 A maximum breaker at 240 V (100 A at 208 V) and 107.4 A ampacity at 240 V according to Dettson. Your electrical service capacity must be checked.
- High airflow requires ductwork to match: we inspect it before pairing a large coil.
- With a heat pump, the elements and the heat pump must never heat at the same time (overheating risk according to Dettson): a thermostat or the K03081 interface must prevent it.
- The coil is not included. Standard 2-wire connection; 3 wires possible with accessories.
- In downflow, the DFB-SUP base may be required depending on the type of floor.

Frequently asked questions
Why are the two airflows so different?
Dettson factory-sets heating at low speed, 970 CFM at 0.5 in w.c. The 4-speed 1 HP motor can go up to 2,030 CFM: we choose the cooling speed based on the coil installed.
What cooling can be paired with it?
Up to 5 tons, with an air-conditioner or heat-pump coil on the supply or return side.
Are my ducts big enough?
It depends on your system. High airflow needs adequate ducts; we inspect them during the free estimate and tell you whether changes are needed.
What electrical circuit should I plan for?
A 125 A maximum breaker at 240 V (100 A at 208 V). Dettson publishes a 107.4 A ampacity and an 88.7 A total current at 240 V.
Does it work with a heat pump?
Yes, the elements act as backup. Dettson does not allow them to heat at the same time as the heat pump: the thermostat or the K03081 interface prevents simultaneous operation.
What is Dettson’s warranty?
Parts for 5 years in residential use and 1 year in commercial use. Labour is not covered by the manufacturer warranty.
