Carrier ehkmc05kn 5kw Electric Heater Kit 40-45MB Mua

Product Description

The CARRIER ehkmc05kn is a 5 kW electric heater kit designed for installation inside compatible air handler units. It provides supplemental or primary electric heat within the air handler cabinet, converting electrical energy to warm air delivered through the duct system. The kit is sized for trade installation by licensed HVAC technicians and is a factory-style add-on component rather than a field-fabricated assembly. At 5.73 pounds and compact overall dimensions, it fits within the designated heater section of the supported air handler models without modification to the cabinet.

This heater kit is suited for residential and light commercial applications where electric heat is required within a ducted air handler system. It is intended for use with the 40-45MB series and MUA air handler units. Installation typically occurs during initial equipment setup or as an upgrade when electric heat capacity is being added to an existing air handler that was not originally equipped with a heater element.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the air handler before accessing the heater section. Verify that the unit electrical supply circuit is rated for the added heater load in accordance with NEC requirements before energizing.
