Ruud rxqj-c20j 20 Kw Electric Heater Kit

Product Description

The RUUD rxqj-c20j is a 20 kW electric heater kit designed for use in compatible RUUD and Rheem heating and cooling systems. This OEM-replacement heater kit supplies supplemental or primary electric heat within an air handler or heat pump system, converting electrical energy into conditioned warm air delivered through the duct system. Licensed HVAC technicians install this type of heater kit as a direct factory-replacement component, restoring heating capacity to the original manufacturer specification. At 20 kW output, the kit is suited for residential and light commercial applications requiring substantial supplemental heat.

The rxqj-c20j heater kit is intended for installation inside compatible RUUD and Rheem air handler units or heat pump systems. It provides electric resistance heat, typically used as the primary heat source or as auxiliary backup heat when outdoor temperatures drop below the heat pump's efficient operating range. This kit is an OEM-style replacement, making it appropriate for service calls where the original heater element or kit assembly has failed and needs to be restored to factory configuration.

Installation Notes

Electric heater kits must be installed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with NEC requirements and local electrical codes. Disconnect and lock out all power to the air handler unit before servicing or installing the heater kit. Verify that the system's electrical supply voltage, amperage, and breaker sizing are appropriate for a 20 kW load before energizing.
