Laars NeoTherm XTR NT2H 399 vs NT2H 500

Verdict in brief

The NeoTherm XTR NT2H 399 and NT2H 500 are the two smallest XTR boilers: 39.9-399 versus 50-500 MBH input and 386 versus 483 MBH maximum output, both at 96.7% and 96.6% AHRI thermal efficiency with 10:1 turndown. The 500 adds 97 MBH of output and 0.4 gallons of water content.

What actually separates them

The Document 1477 submittal lists the NT2H 399 at 39.9-399 MBH input, 38.6-386 MBH output and 96.7% thermal efficiency; the NT2H 500 lists 50-500 MBH input, 48.3-483 MBH output and 96.6% thermal efficiency.

Water content rises from 4.4 to 4.8 gallons and shipping weight from 508 to 518 lb, so both fit a similar rigging plan while the 500 delivers more capacity.

Both models share the Laars Linc control, Vari-Prime pump control, 10:1 turndown and the XTR's dual-venturi combustion system.
