MRCOOL 5 KW Packaged Unit Heat Strip, MHK05P

When considering supplementary heating options for your MRCOOL Signature Packaged Unit, the 5 KW Signature Packaged Unit Heat Strip with Circuit Breaker offers a reliable solution. Designed for compatibility with MRCOOL Signature Packaged Units, this heat strip provides an additional heat source when needed. Electric heat strips, also known as heat kits, function as secondary heat sources within the air handler, akin to a powerful blow dryer dispersing warmth directly into the ducts. Typically utilized during emergencies when the primary heat pump is temporarily out of service or in exceptionally cold weather conditions, heat kits offer immediate heating relief. While not as energy-efficient as heat pumps, they serve as essential backup heating options for short-term use. Here's a breakdown of the key features:
