Heil Quaker ICP EHK205B Heat Kit
The Heil Quaker ICP EHK205B Heat Kit is a field-installed 5kW electric heat strip designed for seamless integration with ICP, Comfortmaker, and Heil air handlers. Engineered for 208/240V single-phase applications, this auxiliary electric heater provides reliable supplemental or primary heating in residential split systems. The EHK205B features a heavy-duty nickel-chromium heating element and integrated auto-reset thermal limit switches to prevent overheating during restricted airflow conditions. Its compact design ensures low pressure drop across the coil, maintaining system static pressure and blower efficiency. As a direct OEM replacement heat kit, it utilizes a plug-and-play wiring harness for rapid site deployment, eliminating the need for complex field modifications. Whether you are performing a HVAC furnace backup heat installation or a routine service swap, this 5kW kit ensures precise temperature lift and long-term contactor reliability in demanding environments.
Key Benefits
- Direct OEM Compatibility: Specifically engineered for Heil, Quaker, Tempstar, and ICP air handlers to ensure proper fitment and electrical safety.
- High-Grade Construction: Features corrosion-resistant heating elements and a galvanized steel housing for durability in high-humidity plenums.
- Safe Operation: Includes primary and secondary thermal cut-outs to protect the HVAC cabinet from abnormal heat excursions.
- Optimized Wattage: The 5kW heat output is ideal for smaller residential footprints or as supplemental staging for heat pump defrost cycles.
Common Questions
Is this heat kit compatible with 3-phase power?
No, the EHK205B is strictly designed for 208/240V 1PH (Single Phase) electrical service. Installing this on 3-phase equipment will cause component failure.
What wire size is required for a 5kW heat strip installation?
Typically, a 5kW heater at 240V requires a minimum 10 AWG copper wire and a 30-amp circuit breaker, though you should always verify local codes and the unit?s MCA/MOP data plate.
Can I use this for a heat pump defrost cycle?
Yes, this kit is frequently used as emergency heat or supplemental heat during the defrost cycle to prevent cold-blow into the living space.
