STELPRO SFE SFE1021 Electric Furnace | 10 kW - 240V

A 10 kW furnace that modulates its heat and welcomes a heat pump

The SFE1021 and the homes it suits best

The Stelpro SFE1021 is an all-electric furnace: elements heat the air and a 1/3 HP 4-speed motor moves it through the ducts. What sets it apart is its electronic board, which modulates the elements instead of switching them on all at once. It suits a house or unit that already has ductwork, when the heat loss calculation comes to 10 kW: a bungalow, a two-level condo or a plex unit, for example.

Stelpro equips it with an Eco mode, a built-in temperature sensor and two manual-reset thermal cut-outs. The elements are framed individually, and the galvanized steel cabinet, finished in charcoal powder paint, weighs 45 kg (100 lb).

How it fits a Quebec home

In many ducted homes, the original furnace has been sitting in the basement for decades. The SFE1021 takes its place on the same ductwork. It accepts a 24 V thermostat with 1 or 2 stages, and Stelpro also allows a thermostat with an outdoor sensor. It installs upflow, downflow (with the FSB2 adapter, sold separately) or horizontal, and can stand against a wall with zero clearance, which helps in a narrow mechanical room.

If a central heat pump is part of your plans, the board is ready: it compensates during defrost and offers two installation modes. In Type A, the factory setting, the heat pump is downstream and the elements stay off while it answers the call. In Type B, it is on the return side and the furnace takes over when the cold reduces its capacity.

One detail to check: on a 208 V supply, Stelpro publishes 7.5 kW instead of 10 kW. We confirm your building’s voltage before recommending this model.

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. It all starts with a free on-site estimate: we measure the space, look at the condition of the ducts and check that the electrical panel can supply a total amperage of 44 A at 240 V. You then receive a written quote.

On installation day, our technicians:

• remove the old unit and set the SFE1021 in the chosen configuration;
• connect it to the ductwork;
• make the electrical connection according to Stelpro’s manual and the rating plate;
• set up the board and the thermostat, then start the furnace with you.

Plan for a standard 20 x 20 x 1 in filter: it is not supplied with the furnace.
