Why invest in a heat kit?
Electric heat strips, commonly referred to as heat kits, serve as supplementary or secondary heating solutions installed within the air handler. Often likened to a powerful blow dryer, the heat kit efficiently channels warmth directly into the ductwork. These heat kits are particularly valuable during emergencies when the heat pump is temporarily inoperative or in situations where outdoor temperatures drop significantly. Although heat kits are not as energy-efficient as heat pumps, they provide essential heat as needed, typically for short durations.
