Performance at a Glance

kW
Electric Heat Output

Field-installable electric heat kit for Goodman air handlers. Provides electric resistance heating — primary heat in AC + electric configurations, or supplemental backup heat in heat pump systems.

What This Is

An electric heat kit is a strip of resistance heating elements that installs directly inside a Goodman air handler cabinet. When the thermostat calls for heat, current passes through the elements and the air handler's blower distributes warm air through the ductwork. Simple, reliable, and requires only an electrical hookup.

Two common applications: as primary heat in an AC + electric heat configuration (mild climates without natural gas service), or as supplemental backup heat in a heat pump system for the coldest days when the heat pump alone can't keep up. The 15 kW size handles larger homes or colder climates.

Common Questions

Which air handlers does this fit?
Compatible with Goodman air handlers (compatible with the older ARUF/ASPT cabinet families). The kit slides into a dedicated slot inside the air handler cabinet. Note: HKSX-series kits are designed for older Goodman air handler families (ARUF, ASPT and similar) — the newer R-32 air handlers (AMST series) use the HKTSN/HKTSD heat kit series instead.
How much heat does it provide?
This is a 15 kW kit, which produces 15 kW of electric heat. As a rough sizing guide: 5 kW heats a small space, 8–10 kW handles a typical home in mild climates, and 15 kW provides robust heating for larger homes or colder climates. If this isn't the right size for your space, the 10 kW version may be a better fit.
Do I need this for a heat pump system?
Recommended in colder climates. Heat pumps lose efficiency below about 40°F outdoor temperature, and a heat strip provides backup heat for the coldest days. In warm climates, a heat kit may be optional. Required for AC + electric heat configurations where a heat pump isn't being used.
Is this hard to install?
The kit slides into a dedicated slot inside the air handler and connects via the factory-prepared wiring harness. Wiring runs to the existing thermostat circuit — standard HVAC wiring practice, no refrigerant work involved.
