- Built-in electronic thermostat holds temperature tightly
- Silent natural-convection operation
Installation Notes
CEC Section 62 applies, with circuit sizing at 125% per CEC 8-104. Convectors move air by natural convection - do not block the bottom inlet or the top outlet with furniture or drapes.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Blocking the bottom inlet
- Expecting fan-heater recovery speed
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Ouellet OCEH2000BL-TH CSA certified for use in Canada?
Ouellet is a Quebec manufacturer and its heating products are built to Canadian standards and certified for the Canadian market. Confirm the certification mark and the ratings on the unit's own nameplate against your local amendments before you energize it.
Where does Maple Electric Supply ship this from?
From our own stock in Vaughan, Ontario. That means no cross-border wait, no duty and no surprise brokerage on a heater you need before the cold hits. Counter pickup is available, and we ship across Canada.
What does the 2000 / 1500 W rating on the OCEH2000BL-TH actually mean?
This unit is dual-rated. On a 240 V supply it delivers 2000 W. Put the same unit on a 208 V supply and output drops to about 1500 W - roughly 75%, because output falls with the square of the voltage. Order on the voltage the building actually has, not the one on the drawing.
What size breaker and wire does the OCEH2000BL-TH need?
The unit draws about 8.3 A at 240 V. Fixed electric heat is a continuous load, so CEC 8-104 sizes the conductor and the breaker at 125% of that - about 10.4 A. Your electrician sizes the final circuit against everything else on it; a 15 A 240 V circuit tops out at 2880 W of total connected heat.
How much heat is 2000 W in a real room?
6,830 / 5,120 BTU/h. As a working rule of thumb for an insulated Ontario room, budget roughly 10 W per square foot for a well-insulated space and closer to 15 W per square foot for a basement, a room over a garage or anything with a lot of glass. Send us the dimensions and we will size it properly.
Does the OCEH2000BL-TH need a separate wall thermostat?
No. This model ships with a built-in electronic thermostat - the control is in the unit, so you skip the wall box, the control run and the separate device. If you would rather run a wall stat for a multi-heater zone, order the version of this part number without the built-in control.
Can I get a price on a full job's worth?
Yes. Multi-unit and contractor pricing is available on Ouellet heating - send the schedule or the count and we will quote it. Most heating orders over a handful of units are priced by our counter team rather than at list.
