Electric Heat Kit and Furnace Heating Coil Replacement parts

An electric heat kit is a key component in HVAC systems, providing primary or supplemental heating in electric furnaces and air handlers. These kits convert electrical energy into heat, ensuring consistent indoor comfort and system efficiency. When a heat kit fails, issues like burnt-out heating elements or faulty components can cause uneven heating or system shutdown. In such cases, an electric furnace heating coil replacement is necessary to restore proper functionality.

Key components in an electric heat kit work together to maintain safe and efficient operation. The heating coils generate heat by converting electrical current into thermal energy, which warms the air passing through the furnace. Sequencers manage the staged activation of the heating elements, preventing electrical overload while improving efficiency. Limit switches monitor internal temperatures and automatically shut down the system if overheating occurs, protecting both the equipment and occupants. Relays and contactors regulate power to the heating elements, ensuring smooth operation, while wiring harnesses and connectors provide secure electrical connections between all components.

At PartsHnC, we offer a wide selection of electric heat kits, heat strip kits, heat control boards, control unit heat pump, ceramic heat shield kits and heat exchanger gasket kits from top brands like York, Titus, and Trane.
