Why Choose a Supplemental Heat Kit

A heat kit, also known as an electric heat strip, acts as a secondary heating system to support your MRCOOL HyperHeat Central Ducted Air Handler. It functions as a direct electric heating element, warming air before distributing it through your home’s ductwork.

• Provides backup heating when the heat pump is temporarily inoperative
• Enhances cold-climate performance when outdoor temperatures drop to extreme lows
• Delivers rapid heating when a quick temperature boost is required
• Offers a short-term heating solution during heat pump maintenance or servicing

While not as energy-efficient as heat pumps, these emergency heat kits are designed for temporary use, ensuring comfort when conventional heating methods are unavailable.
