Ducane AEHK15CB-1 Electric Heat Strip 15 Kw BCE4M

Product Description

The DUCANE AEHK15CB-1 is an electric heat strip rated at 15 kW (51,200 BTU/h) designed for installation in compatible BCE4M-series enhanced air handlers. Operating at 208/240 volts, it draws 7.4 amps at 208 volts and 4 amps at 240 volts, delivering reliable supplemental or primary electric heat in forced-air systems. This factory-style add-on heater kit installs directly into the air handler cabinet and is sized for residential heating loads. Licensed HVAC technicians perform this work during new installation or service replacement of the electric heat section.

This heat strip is engineered specifically for the BCE4M-series enhanced air handler lineup, making it applicable to residential forced-air systems where electric heat is the primary or backup heat source. Typical install scenarios include new construction, heat pump backup heat, and all-electric residential systems where gas is not available. The part fits BCE4M36S, BCE4M48S, and BCE4M60S air handler models as specified by the manufacturer.
