Carrier KWBEH0101B20 Auxiliary Heater 20 Kw Internal Mount

Product Description

The CARRIER KWBEH0101B20 is a 20 kW auxiliary electric heater designed for internal mounting in compatible heat pump air handler systems. It provides supplemental or emergency heat capacity when outdoor temperatures drop below the efficient operating range of the primary refrigeration circuit. The unit measures 18 inches long by 18 inches wide by 6 inches tall and weighs 15 pounds, making it a compact, self-contained heater kit suited for residential and light-commercial HVAC installations. Licensed HVAC technicians handle procurement and installation of this component.

This auxiliary heater is intended for internal mounting within GH-series air handler configurations that require supplemental electric heat. It is commonly installed in split heat pump systems where the air handler lacks factory-installed electric heat or where additional heating capacity is needed to meet design load requirements. The internal mount design integrates directly within the air handler cabinet, keeping the installation clean and contained without external add-on enclosures.

Compatibility

Designed for internal installation in GH-series air handler units requiring a 20 kW auxiliary electric heat kit. Consult the equipment nameplate and manufacturer documentation to confirm fitment before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with NEC requirements for electric heat and the equipment manufacturer's installation instructions. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the air handler before beginning installation. Verify that the air handler's electrical supply, circuit breaker sizing, and wiring are rated to support the added 20 kW load before energizing the heater kit. Do not bypass any factory safety devices such as thermal cutouts or high-limit controls.
