Breeze AUX20KW Electric Heat Kit 20kw 240V Air Handler

Product Description

The BREEZE AUX20KW is a 20 kW electric heat kit designed for use with residential and light-commercial air handler systems. Operating at 240 volts AC single-phase, this kit provides supplemental or primary electric resistance heating and includes an integrated circuit breaker for overcurrent protection. It is installed by licensed HVAC technicians as a field-installed accessory inside compatible air handler cabinets. The built-in circuit breaker simplifies the electrical installation and helps meet NEC requirements for dedicated heating circuit protection without requiring a separate disconnect.

This heat kit is intended for air handler applications where electric resistance heat is the primary or backup heat source. Typical installations include split systems in regions where gas heat is unavailable, all-electric construction, or as auxiliary heat in heat pump systems. The 20 kW output makes it suitable for larger residential zones or light-commercial spaces that require higher heating capacity from a single-phase 240-volt supply.

Key Features

• 20 kW electric resistance heating output for high-capacity air handler applications
• 240 VAC single-phase operation compatible with standard residential and light-commercial electrical service
• Integrated circuit breaker provides built-in overcurrent protection
• Field-installed kit designed to mount inside compatible air handler cabinets
• Suitable for use as primary electric heat or auxiliary heat in heat pump systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style field-installed electric heat kit for compatible air handler units requiring 240-volt single-phase electric resistance heat.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified electrician in accordance with the NEC and applicable local codes. Always disconnect and lock out power at the main panel before accessing the air handler cabinet or handling any heat kit components. Verify that the air handler cabinet and wiring are rated to support the 20 kW load before installation. Follow the air handler manufacturer's installation instructions for proper sequencing and heat kit mounting procedure.
