NEP-Therm Heaters vs Standard Heaters. When are zone heaters a good choice?
Today's homes, condos and offices require more fresh air than ever in order to avoid living in an environment that is both uncomfortable and unhealthy. NEP-Therm heaters (zone heaters) complement your heating system by preheating fresh air. NEP- Therm heaters are also used to complement existing forced air heating systems of homes, condos or offices. The temperature in each and every cold-zone area will now be individually controlled.
Compared to standard heaters, the NEP-Therm heaters are equipped with a modulating controller that enables operation in extremely low air flow conditions with peak performance. NEP-Therm heaters come in specific sizes, voltages and power (5", 6" or 8" collar; 0.5 kW to 5 kW at 120, 208 or 240 Vac). NEP-Therm heaters are available with one of 3 thermostats with a modulating signal. However, it is possible to convert these heaters into an ON/OFF signal simply by moving a jumper or wire. They can be mounted on a horizontal as well as a vertical duct.
The NEP-Therm heaters are quality products engineered for performance with low operating costs. The model is built by choosing from the following options.
