Hoping some EKO owners can help me out. I'm in the process of installing my EKO 25, already have the pex-flex tubing, one length of 12/2 wire, and a empty 1" dia pipe for future wire I might need ran from the boiler shed to house. Well was reading the manual and I see it says something about 240 volt power supply.
Did I mess up should I have ran 12/3 wire to supply 220v??? I'm not too worried I still have the empty conduit I can run the wire thru, but I didn't figure the fans needed anything more than 110v (wasn't thinking Euro mfg....). Has anyone wire the unit as 110v?
Thanks,
Bob

As far as I know, all the US models are set up for 110V operation. Mine certainly was.

The manual is not a paragon of clarity and accuracy, at least when I got mine.
 
Don't worry Im in the process of installing a EKO 25 and it came with a pre wired regular 120 volt plug and cord , right from the dealer . I guess you can say plug and play .
Ps. very nice boiler , well built and awsom controler . Can't wait to fire it up !!

Guys,
Thanks for the replies it's nice to know it's 110v.

It probably is 110.

You can run 220 through 12/2 anyhow. With TRUE 220v, you don't have a hot/common/ground.... You have Hot/Hot/Ground. If you need a common, then it really isn't 220, its 2 x 110v...........
 
I ran into the same thing with my EKO 40. If you look on the back of your boiler there should be a sticker with all of the boiler spec's on it. One will be power requirements. Mine has a sticker over what used to say 220 to indicate it's been switched to 110. You might want to make sure you have that sticker....
