My House Voltage is 208V Would this unit sill be as efficient?

There is a listing on Ebay for an Ecosmart ECO 11 that says it works at 208 volts.I would call the manufacturer to be sure.

It should not be a problem. But you should call tech support to be sure. I love mine. It works great in our home!

Probably not. Unless it is heavily insulated. You would be better to get a 220v one. 1500 watts is just enough to take the edge off a room that size at 40-50. Mark

I don't recognize 208 v. I used nominally 220v but could not attest the actual voltage.

I don't know a number, but if you have central heat, it will be more efficient than this heater, which is also electric. I did not get to keep mine long enough to find out if it was efficient. It quit working in less than a month, and they sent me a replacement part. I am not an electrician, so I couldn't repair the unit.

First of all its going to run really hot. It's not going to give you a constant 120 volts maybe 117 but thats still safe for you eletronics. That's not a quick fix using the opti ups I woud contact the power company and have them come out and check it out the opti is used on old homes when there is a drop in voltage for a moment or to. Like when the ac unit kicks on. Sounds like you have a bad transformer on the electric pole. Ifs that the case they should replace it.

Yes it will. It is a standard power conditioner. Just add up the VA of all that you wish to have good power and as long as it's under 1000, you're OK.

If your air handler is in the attic, it will be significant. If it's mounted in the garage, not as much. The further south you live, the higher the savings. Stick with this unit as the power draw is minimal compared to the larger unit which draws twice as much power.

I don't believe your service panel has enough amperage for this model. I think 220 volts coming in from main. Then the property using this model will need an update interior panel.

not such of my voltages , I just order if for my coat closet , I ordered one before for the room in my basement were the heating furnace is, and I haveno problems with them, hope this helps.

It said it should be either 120 or 240 volts depending on the hookup kit you use. It might work on 208, just wouldn't get as much heat as with 240. I can't personally vouch on this.

You may calculate this with the following rule of thumb. Watts (here 9000W as rated by the producer) divided by voltage (may be 240V or 220V) gives you the amps consumed by the device. The result is not exactly but it helps you to understand that you should have 40A available for this device. In my case, I have 220V and 40A available (i.e. with a 40A breaker) and I still can operate simultanely the lights and other devices of the house. In any doubt you should contact a qualified/authorized electrician for installation and don't forget to use an appropiate residual-current circuit breaker.

I have an all electric home and the unit powers everything except my 70KVA heating system. I cut one breaker on the system to make it a 35KVA and it works fine. It powers my 4 ton central air, refrigerator, electric hot water heater as well as three burners on my electric stove. The amount of electricity used for lighting is insignificant since I have changed to all LED bulbs. Do no fear overloading the generator because it has a breaker to prevent damage from overloading. I had the local Generac dealer install mine and he tested it with the above load and it was only using 60% of its rated output.

Its more the amps that would be the concern. It says it handles 20amps @ 120vac, so I would think as along as you stay under the 20amps you should be alright.

My unit works fine and fast, throughout 3200 sq. ft. House. You probably have a bad unit.
1147207
Sure. You should not have a problem. The unit itself is 2 amps, so you are in business using the powerline universal adapter.

depends on your house :)if 1000W are enough, yes (eg a holiday cottage)but major appliances like washer, stove etc need more, much moreFor a whole house application i would recommend a larger stationary converter with power factor correction

Not sure, the unit is installed on a vacation home and only used in winter months when the furnace in running, not often enough to really notice. I did speak with Aprilaire regarding an installation issue, and they strongly recommend 240v. to maximize the unit's effectiveness and reduce energy cost.
