Hisense wtm0502bx 5kw Electric Heat Kit

Product Description

The HISENSE wtm0502bx is a 5kW electric heat kit designed for use with Hisense Hi-PRO HD air handlers. It provides supplemental electric resistance heat when outdoor temperatures fall below the efficient operating range of a heat pump system. The kit integrates directly into the air handler to deliver backup heat without requiring a separate heating unit. Licensed HVAC technicians install this component as part of a complete heat pump system to ensure reliable heating performance during cold weather conditions.

This heat kit is intended for residential heat pump installations where supplemental or auxiliary heat is required. It activates automatically when the heat pump alone cannot meet the heating demand, a common scenario during low ambient temperature operation. The wtm0502bx is specifically designed for Hisense Hi-PRO HD air handler systems and is not a universal kit.

Key Features

• 5kW electric resistance heating capacity for supplemental heat output
• Designed to integrate directly into compatible Hisense Hi-PRO HD air handlers
• Activates as auxiliary heat when heat pump efficiency drops in low ambient conditions
• OEM-style fit for straightforward installation without field modification

Compatibility

Designed for use with Hisense Hi-PRO HD series air handlers as an electric backup heat kit. Consult system documentation to confirm fitment for your specific air handler configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Disconnect all electrical power to the air handler at the breaker panel before beginning installation. Verify that the electrical circuit supplying the air handler meets the amperage and voltage requirements for the added heat kit load. Follow all applicable local codes and the manufacturer installation instructions when wiring and mounting the kit.
