MRCOOL 8 KW Universal Air Handler Heat Strip with Circuit Breaker, MHK08U

Looking to enhance your heating system's capabilities? Consider the MRCOOL 8 KW Universal Air Handler Heat Strip with Circuit Breaker, designed specifically for compatibility with the MRCOOL Universal 2-3 Ton Air Handler.

Electric heat strips, commonly referred to as heat kits, serve as a supplementary or backup heat source within the air handler. Functioning akin to a large blow dryer, these kits directly disperse heat output into the ducts. They prove invaluable during emergencies when the primary heat pump is temporarily out of service or in extremely cold weather conditions. While not as energy-efficient as heat pumps, heat kits offer necessary heating support for short durations.
