This unit can be used in conjunction with a single stage heat pump, with one or two-stage air conditioning, or without air conditioning. This unit is compatible with single or multi-stage gas or oil furnaces with or without variable speed blowers. This unit includes automatic dual fuel control, with manual override switch. A conventional 4-wire thermostat must be used when installing with a heat pump. The patented WarmFlo Zero-Clearance Pleanum Air Heaters are electric conversion system converts your existing natural gas, LP, or oil furnace into a "Dual-fuel" (electric/gas-oil) system. Having this ability to use lower cost electric rates and by using the most cost effective heating source available can save you hundreds of dollars off of your heating bills each year. To understand the true cost of energy for your heating system view the electric vs. gas/oil chart. With electric's 100% efficiency you will be able to get an idea of the cost savings available by usingelectric's off-peak rates. The WarmFlo Select Electric Plenum Heater Series enhances overall heating system comfort, performance, and effi ciency. Whether you are combining a gas or oil-fi red furnace or adding an air source heat pump, WarmFlo can maximize your heating system's performance by monitoring outdoor and warm air plenum temperatures. Complete all-inclusive controls make installation and setup easy. Using our dual energy selector makes switching energy types as easy as a "fl ip of the switch". How does WarmFlo work with an air source heat pump? The WarmFlo controller receives temperature information from the warm air plenum sensor and the outside sensor to monitor the heating system performance. Using data from the sensors, the WarmFlo intelligent controller automatically establishes a warm air delivery temperature ideal for the specific outdoor temperature. As outside temperature drops, the air source heat pump output decreases and the warm air required to heat the home increases. The WarmFlo plenum heater automatically adds heat in 500 watt increments to meet the heating requirements of the home.
