PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Boost cold-weather comfort on your MRCOOL 2nd Gen VersaPro or 2nd Gen Hyper Heat central ducted system with a factory-matched Electric Heat (Aux/Emergency) Kit. When outdoor temps fall well below a heat pump’s rated range, this add-on provides the extra electric heat you need to stay comfortable—no waiting on a thaw or a second truck roll.

Available sizes: 5kW • 8kW • 10kW • 15kW • 20kW
Use case: Aux/Emergency heat for sub-freezing weather, defrost cycles, and cold snaps

Why add a heat kit?

  • Cold-climate backup: Heat pumps naturally lose capacity as temps drop; the kit supplies aux/emergency electric heat to cover the lows.

  • Smoother operation: Helps maintain indoor comfort during defrost and extreme weather.

  • Factory-matched fit: Designed specifically for 2nd Gen VersaPro & 2nd Gen Hyper Heat central air handlers for proper airflow, safeties, and wiring.

Which size should I choose?

  • Model-specific: Smaller air handlers typically use smaller kW kits—always match to your unit’s model label/manual.

  • Warmer/Southern climates: Often optional; smaller kW usually covers rare cold snaps.

  • Colder/Northern climates: Recommended; choose a higher kW where electrical capacity and air handler sizing allow.

Not sure? Send us your air-handler model number, zip code/climate, and available breaker size—we’ll confirm the best fit.

Key features

  • Aux/Emergency heat on demand for sub-freezing conditions

  • Model-matched installation for MRCOOL 2nd Gen VersaPro & 2nd Gen Hyper Heat air handlers

  • DIY-friendly for confident installers; professional help recommended where required by code

  • Nationwide USA shipping and real-human support

Compatibility

  • Intended for MRCOOL 2nd Gen VersaPro and MRCOOL 2nd Gen Hyper Heat central ducted air handlers.

  • Sizes align with the Universal-series heat kit range (5–20kW), but kits are model-specific—verify your exact air-handler model and electrical specs before ordering.

What’s in the box

  • Electric heat strip assembly (size selected)

  • Model-specific mounting/wiring components (varies by kit)

  • Install/connection guide

Installation & safety notes

  • Disconnect power at the breaker before service.

  • Use the correct wire gauge and overcurrent protection per the heat-kit/air-handler nameplate and local code.

  • Ensure ductwork/airflow meet requirements when running electric heat.

  • A licensed electrician/HVAC professional may be required by local regulations.


Have questions about 5kW vs 8/10/15/20kW? Our team can size the right kit for your MRCOOL 2nd Gen system and your climate—reach out and we’ll help you finish the install with confidence.

Comfort That Speaks for Itself

See why homeowners and pros alike trust MRCOOL DIY systems to deliver comfort, savings, and easy installation.

Installed a 3-zone MRCOOL DIY in our ranch house — took a weekend and some planning, but it went smoother than expected.

Ryan G., Oklahoma

We upgraded to the MRCOOL Universal central ducted system last year. It’s quieter, more efficient, and runs smoother than our old 4-ton unit. Love that I installed it myself

James H., Alabama

HVAC quotes were outrageous. The MRCOOL Universal let me handle the install myself and saved me about $3,000. It’s been running flawlessly for eight months.

Eric T., Colorado

The Universal outdoor unit is much smaller than my old condenser but somehow does a better job heating and cooling our 2,000-sq-ft home. Couldn’t be happier

Paul F., Virginia

We live in Minnesota, and the MRCOOL Universal kept our home cozy even during sub-zero nights — that heat pump is a beast.

Amanda P., Minnesota

Replaced our outdated 3-ton system with a MRCOOL central ducted heat pump. Took a few evenings after work, but once powered up, it cooled our entire home faster and quieter than expected.
