VP2800BTC, VP2000BTC specifications

Vanguard Heating has made notable strides in the heating solutions market with its cutting-edge models, the VP2000BTC and VP2800BTC. These units cater to both residential and commercial needs, providing users with efficient heating capabilities under various conditions.

The VP2000BTC is designed with a powerful 2000-watt output, making it suitable for smaller spaces or specific zones within larger environments. It boasts a sleek, modern design that allows for easy integration into any setting, whether it’s a living room, office, or workshop. One of its key features is the advanced thermostat control, which enables precise temperature regulation. This not only enhances user comfort but also contributes to energy efficiency by ensuring that the heating system operates only when necessary.

On the other hand, the VP2800BTC steps up the power to an impressive 2800 watts, making it ideal for larger spaces requiring a more robust heating solution.
