View full detailsA heat pump moves heat rather than making it, and on the coldest mornings of the year that is not always enough. An electric heat kit is the answer most systems are designed around: a resistance heating coil that slides into the air handler or packaged unit and adds direct heat when the outdoor coil cannot keep up, during defrost cycles, or in emergency mode if the compressor fails.
We carry heat kits for the ACiQ and Goodman equipment we sell, in capacities from 3 kW up to 20 kW, with and without built-in circuit breakers. Brand matching is the rule: a Goodman kit belongs in a Goodman air handler and an ACiQ coil in an ACiQ unit. If you are adding backup heat to one of our Goodman heat pump package units or an air handler, tell us the model number and we will confirm the kit that fits.
Every kit here is a manufacturer part matched to the ACiQ and Goodman equipment we stock, not a universal substitute.
Orders over $1,000 ship free to the 48 contiguous states, and most states outside California pay no sales tax.
Find the same kit priced lower elsewhere and we will match it under our lowest price guarantee.
Our specialists confirm the kilowatt rating, breaker option and model compatibility before your order ships.
Electric Heat Kits - The kit-only subset of this collection, filtered to strip heaters with and without breakers.
Air Handlers - The indoor units these coils install into, from wall mount to multi-position cabinets.
Goodman Parts - Every Goodman accessory we carry, if the heat kit is one item on a longer install list.
The best heat kit for a packaged heat pump installs in the unit's own cabinet with its breaker included. The Goodman 10KW Electric Strip Heat Kit With Circuit Breaker For Package Unit is the standard pick for 2 to 3 ton units.
The best electric heat kit for a small air handler in a mild climate is a low kilowatt strip that covers defrost and the occasional cold snap. The Goodman 5KW Electric Heat Kit Without Circuit Breaker does that without oversizing the circuit.
The best backup heat for a large air handler in a cold climate is the highest capacity kit the cabinet accepts. The Goodman 20 Kilowatt Electric Heat Kit 68,200 BTU delivers full-house heat when the heat pump cannot.
The best heater coil for an ACiQ unitary air handler is the ACiQ part built for it. The ACiQ 10 Kilowatt Electric Heater Coil 34,100 BTU For Unitary Air Handlers matches the cabinet and control wiring of the ACiQ line.
Every kit in this collection runs on 208 to 240 volt single phase power unless the product name says three phase. Kilowatt rating, breaker option and the equipment it fits are what separate them.

Size the heat kit to the air handler's capacity and your climate, not to the house alone. As a rule of thumb, 5 kW suits 1.5 to 2 ton systems in mild climates, 8 to 10 kW covers 2 to 3 ton systems, and 15 to 20 kW backs up 3.5 to 5 ton systems where winters are cold. Each air handler lists the maximum kilowatt rating it accepts.
A heat pump does not need an electric heat kit to run, but almost every installation needs one. The kit provides supplemental heat when outdoor temperatures drop below what the heat pump can handle, warms the air during defrost cycles so the supply does not blow cold, and acts as emergency heat if the compressor fails. In mild climates a small kit is enough; up north it carries real load.
A heat kit with a circuit breaker includes its own overcurrent protection inside the air handler or packaged unit, so a single high-voltage feed serves both the blower and the heater and the breaker isolates the strip for service. A kit without a breaker relies on a properly sized breaker in the electrical panel instead. Local code and the equipment's installation manual decide which one your installation calls for.
A 10 kW heat kit produces about 34,100 BTU per hour, because one kilowatt of electric resistance heat equals roughly 3,412 BTU. By the same math a 5 kW kit gives about 17,000 BTU, 15 kW about 51,150 BTU, and 20 kW about 68,200 BTU. Unlike a gas furnace there is no efficiency loss to subtract; every watt that goes in comes out as heat.
No, heat kits are brand specific. The slide-in dimensions, terminal block, wiring harness and control board connections are designed around a particular air handler family, so a Goodman kit fits Goodman cabinets and an ACiQ coil fits ACiQ units. Within a brand you also need to match the kit to the air handler series listed on the product page. If you are unsure, send us the air handler model number.
