Carrier ehkmc15kn 15kw Electric Heater Kit

Product Description

The CARRIER ehkmc15kn is a 15-kilowatt electric heater kit designed for installation within compatible air handler units. It provides supplemental or primary electric resistance heating as part of a ducted HVAC system. The kit integrates into the air handler cabinet, converting electrical energy into heat distributed through the supply duct system. Licensed HVAC technicians install this component during new system builds or as a retrofit into existing air handler applications. At 8.82 pounds and measuring 21.06 inches wide, 10.16 inches in length, and 8.03 inches in height, the unit is sized to fit within the designated heater section of the compatible air handler chassis.

The ehkmc15kn is intended for use with the 40MB and 45MB series air handler units as indicated by the manufacturer designation. This makes it applicable to residential forced-air systems where electric heat is the primary or supplemental heat source. It is commonly installed in new construction and retrofit scenarios where gas or heat pump heating is not available or practical. The installation environment is typically a residential or light commercial air handler closet, attic, basement, or mechanical room.
