DETTSON Suprême Avantage SUP23-A240V12 Electric Furnace | 23 kW - 240V

The comfort of an ECM blower in a 23 kW electric furnace

An ECM motor adjusted by season

The Dettson Suprême Avantage SUP23-A240V12 builds on the base of the Avantage series, with electric elements that come on in sequence, quietly, and front-panel controls, but its blower is driven by a 1/2 HP ECM motor. With this motor, airflow is set separately for heating and cooling. Dettson publishes a current of 2.3 A at 240 V for the motor, and a 5-year warranty on the ECM motor.

The furnace delivers 23 kW at 240 V and 17.3 kW at 208 V. It connects on 2-wire 240/208 V; a 3-wire connection for 120–208/240 V is possible with accessories.

Which home it suits

It suits a bungalow or semi-detached home that already has ductwork, where the calculation confirms a heating need of this size and cooling stays reasonable: Dettson accepts a coil of up to 3 tons, on the supply or return side. It is also a good choice for a plex unit with its own duct system. Its multi-position design, approved for zero clearance, lets it go in the basement, in a mechanical closet or horizontal, suspended if needed.

Limits to know about

With a heat pump, Dettson makes non-simultaneous operation mandatory: the elements and the heat pump never heat at the same time. The thermostat must offer this function, otherwise a manufacturer accessory is added. On the electrical side, total current reaches 98.8 A at 240 V and the maximum breaker is 125 A, at 240 V as at 208 V: a dedicated circuit is needed, and panel capacity must be confirmed. Finally, an electric furnace sold alone is not a heat pump and does not qualify for the LogisVert grant.

What AirGreen takes care of

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. Your project follows these steps:

• visit and free on-site estimate, with a heating calculation and a look at the electrical panel;
• written quote, which specifies the thermostat chosen if a heat pump is planned;
• installation, connection to the ducts and electrical connection;
• setting the ECM motor airflow for heating and, where applicable, for cooling;
• checking the temperature rise, published at 60°F at 240 V, then explaining the controls.

Dettson covers parts for 5 years in residential use (1 year in commercial use); labour is not covered by the manufacturer.
