As an electric heat source, this add-on is seamlessly integrated into the MRCOOL HyperHeat Central Ducted Air Handler, ensuring your home stays warm even in subfreezing conditions.
With multiple power rating options, this kit allows you to choose the right capacity based on your home’s heating needs and electrical setup. Whether used as an emergency backup or supplemental heating source, this heat kit delivers efficient and dependable performance when needed most.
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.
