What Does a Heat Kit Do?

A heat kit acts as a supplemental heating source installed inside your air handler. When heat pump performance drops due to low outdoor temperatures, the heat kit provides direct electric heat to maintain indoor comfort.

Often compared to a high-powered heating element, it warms air as it passes through the system and distributes it throughout your home via ductwork.

When Is a Heat Kit Used?

• During extreme cold weather when heat pump efficiency decreases
• As emergency heat if the outdoor unit is not operating
• As supplemental heat for high-demand heating situations

While heat kits are less energy-efficient than heat pumps, they are critical for maintaining comfort and system reliability in colder climates and demanding applications.

Installation Notes

This heat kit is designed for installation inside compatible MRCOOL air handlers. Due to the higher electrical load, professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure proper wiring, breaker sizing, and safe operation.

Why Choose the 10kW Heat Kit?

If you need maximum backup heating capacity, the MRCOOL 10kW heat kit provides the additional output required for larger homes or colder regions. It delivers dependable emergency heat, ensuring your HVAC system continues to perform when conditions demand more power.
