Comparison
Verdict in brief
The FTHF199N and FTCF199N are the two floor-standing FT Series Floor boilers, both printed at 199,000 BTU/h: the FTHF199N is heating-only (Document 1510B) while the FTCF199N is the combination model with integrated domestic hot water (Document 1505C).
Published manufacturer figures. Input and output are kept separate; blanks mean the manufacturer did not publish that value.
| Specification | Laars FTHF199N | Laars FTCF199N |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum input (as printed) | 199 MBH | 199 MBH |
| Fuel | Natural gas or propane | Natural gas or propane |
| Domestic hot water | None built in — heating-only model; hot water comes from a separate tank or water heater | Integrated — the combi version produces domestic hot water in the combination boiler |
| Error reporting | Two-digit numeric codes with Soft Lock and Hard Lock classes per Section 6.1 of the installation manual | Two-digit numeric codes with Soft Lock and Hard Lock classes per Section 6.1 of the installation manual |
The FT Series Floor is a two-model line, and the pair is a direct choice between arrangements rather than sizes: both boilers are printed at 199,000 BTU/h, floor-standing, condensing, natural gas from the factory with propane field-convertible. There is no smaller or larger floor step to choose.
The FTHF199N is heating-only — domestic hot water comes from a separate tank or water heater — and its installation manual is Document 1510B. The FTCF199N is the combination model: the same 199,000 BTU/h boiler with integrated domestic hot water, documented in its own combi manual, Document 1505C.
Both display the two-digit numeric FT code family with Soft Lock and Hard Lock classes in their respective Section 6.1 tables. Because the manuals differ, a code on the combi should be read from Document 1505C and a code on the heating-only unit from Document 1510B; the researched chapters do not reprint the floor rating tables, so inputs beyond the cover nameplate are confirmed from Laars' ratings literature.

Laars Heating Systems
The Laars FTCF199N is the combination FT Series Floor boiler: a floor-standing condensing combi printed at 199,000 BTU/h in Document 1505C with integrated domestic hot water and the FT floor combi code table.
No. Both the FTHF199N and the FTCF199N are printed at 199,000 BTU/h. The difference is domestic hot water: the FTCF199N is the combi, the FTHF199N is heating-only.
Document 1510B for the FTHF199N and Document 1505C for the FTCF199N. Each manual's Section 6.1 classifies the two-digit codes as Soft Locks or Hard Locks with remedies.
When the home wants integrated combi hot water in a floor-standing format. If hot water is already handled by a separate tank or water heater, the heating-only FTHF199N is the matching arrangement at the same rating.
A consultation includes a heat-loss review so the size is right the first time.
