Ouellet ODSR02000AM Air Diffuser Ceiling Heater 2000W 240/208V, Almond

The Ouellet ODSR02000AM is an air diffuser ceiling heater rated 2000 / 1500 W at 240 / 208 V, finished in almond. Put simply, it is a heater built into an air-diffuser body that drops into a suspended T-bar ceiling and reads as part of the ceiling grid rather than as equipment.

TL;DR

• Output: 2000 / 1500 W at 240 / 208 V (6,830 / 5,120 BTU/h)
• Draw: about 8.3 A - size the circuit at 125% per CEC 8-104
• Finish: Almond
• Control: not included - needs a line-voltage thermostat
• Availability: in stock in Vaughan, ON. Ships Canada-wide, counter pickup available

Quick Specs

Best For

• Suspended-ceiling commercial spaces - offices, clinics, retail
• Zones where the heat has to disappear into the ceiling plane
• Perimeter offices the central system underserves

Why Contractors Choose It

• Drops into a standard suspended ceiling grid and disappears
• Moves real air volume rather than relying on convection
• Built-in thermostat and adjustable air vane on TAV models
• Frees every wall and floor surface in the room

Choose the Right Model

Ouellet builds this series across the wattages and supply voltages Canadian buildings actually run. Match the part number to the service you have:

• ODSR04008BL-TAV - 4000 W, 208 V, white

Installation Notes

CEC Section 62 applies. Units dropped into a suspended T-bar grid must be independently supported to structure, not carried by the grid alone. Size conductors at 125% per CEC 8-104.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Supporting the unit on the grid alone rather than independently to structure
• Blocking the diffuser face with signage or sprinkler escutcheons
• Ordering 240 V for a 208 V building

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Ouellet ODSR02000AM 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 ODSR02000AM 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 ODSR02000AM 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 ODSR02000AM include a thermostat?
No - this is the base unit and it needs a control. You can either run a line-voltage wall thermostat, or order the equivalent part number with a factory-installed thermostat built in. We stock both, plus the Ouellet stats that suit them.

Do I need a disconnect for this commercial heater?
Yes. CEC 62-108 requires a disconnecting means for fixed electric heating equipment - within sight of the unit, or lockable in the open position. On a suspended or ceiling-mounted unit that is not optional and inspectors look for it.

Can this replace a gas unit heater?
Often, yes - and it removes the venting, the gas piping, the combustion air and the annual gas inspection along with it. The question is whether the electrical service has capacity for the load. Send us the existing gas heater's BTU rating and your available service and we will tell you what it takes.

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.
