Heat Kits

HVAC Heat Kits

HVAC heat kits, also known as electric heat strips, are auxiliary heating components commonly installed inside air handlers and heat pump systems. These kits provide additional electric heat when outdoor temperatures drop and the heat pump needs extra support to keep your home or business comfortable.

At Advanced Service Company LLC, we offer HVAC heat kits and related heating accessories for residential and commercial systems. Whether you are replacing a failed heat kit, upgrading your air handler, or adding backup heat to a heat pump system, our team can help you choose the right option for your equipment.

What Is an HVAC Heat Kit?

An HVAC heat kit is an electric resistance heater installed inside an air handler. When activated, the heat kit warms the air as it passes through the system before it is distributed through the ductwork. Heat kits are often used as emergency heat, auxiliary heat, or backup heat for heat pump systems.
