Rheem Heat Kit

The RXBH-1724A10J-BR is specifically engineered for use with Rheem and Ruud RHLL and RHSL series air handlers. It is not a universal kit, so please verify your air handler model number before purchasing.

Yes, installing an electric heat kit involves high-voltage electrical work and integration with your HVAC system's control board. We strongly recommend having a licensed HVAC technician perform the installation to ensure safety and proper system operation.

The legacy board adapter allows this heat kit to integrate with older Rheem or Ruud air handler control boards that may not have the same plug-and-play connections as newer models. It ensures the kit can communicate correctly with your existing system.

This kit uses built-in sequencers to manage the heating elements. Instead of turning all 10 kW on at once, the system activates the elements in stages, which helps prevent sudden power surges and provides more consistent, comfortable temperature regulation.

Safety is prioritized with a built-in circuit breaker that protects against electrical faults. Additionally, the unit includes over-temperature protection to prevent overheating during operation.

No, this specific heat kit is designed exclusively for single-phase operation at 208-240V. It will not function correctly in a three-phase electrical environment.
