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.
