Bosch 265-42544-04 Electric Heating Element 2000W 2500W

Product Description

The BOSCH 265-42544-04 is a dual-voltage electric heating element rated at 2000 watts at 208 volts or 2500 watts at 240 volts. It provides resistive heat generation within electric water heating or HVAC air-handling systems. The element converts electrical energy directly into heat and is a direct-replacement component serviced by licensed electricians and HVAC technicians. Its compact form factor, with a length dimension of 1.24 inches noted in spec data, makes it suited for tight equipment enclosures. This part is a field-replaceable component in systems where heating output must be restored quickly without full unit replacement.

This element is used in residential and light commercial applications where electric-resistance heating is the primary or supplemental heat source. Typical installation scenarios include electric water heaters, electric furnaces, or air handler auxiliary heat strips. Technicians replace this component when element failure results in loss of heating output, tripped high-limit controls, or elevated current draw without corresponding heat rise. The dual-voltage rating makes it compatible with both 208-volt and 240-volt single-phase service configurations common in residential and small commercial buildings.

Key Features

• Dual-voltage rated: 2000W at 208 volts or 2500W at 240 volts
• Direct-replacement electric heating element for field service
• Compact dimensions suited for tight equipment cavities
• Compatible with single-phase 208V and 240V electrical service
• Designed for straightforward technician-level replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement electric heating element for compatible BOSCH equipment requiring a 208V or 240V resistive heating element. Refer to equipment documentation to confirm fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with NEC requirements and local codes. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the unit before removing the existing element or handling wiring connections. Allow the system to fully cool before service to avoid burn hazard from residual heat. Verify voltage and wattage ratings match the equipment nameplate before installing the replacement element.
