Carrier FC-3101C15 Heat Kit

The Carrier FC-3101C15 Heat Kit is a field-installed 15kW electric heater designed for seamless integration with Carrier, Bryant, and Payne air handlers. This 208/230V single-phase unit serves as the direct OEM replacement for legacy models EHK15AKB and EHK15AKB4. Built for high-static applications, the assembly features nickel-chromium heating elements supported by ceramic bushings to prevent sagging and premature failure. The integrated 60-amp circuit breaker provides essential overcurrent protection and simplifies the electrical rough-in by eliminating the need for an external disconnect in most jurisdictions. Technicians will find the plug-and-play wiring harness ensures a secure, low-resistance connection to the control board, maintaining system CFM requirements and thermal safety limits. Whether you are performing a new installation or a critical repair, this 15kW heat kit with breaker delivers the precise BTU output needed to meet residential and light commercial heating loads during emergency or supplemental heat cycles.

Yes, the FC-3101C15 includes the standard 4-pin or 6-pin molex-style plug compatible with OEM air handler control boards.

Can this replace a 10kW kit?
While it may physically fit, you must verify that the existing supply wire gauge and breaker size at the main panel can handle the increased amperage draw of a 15kW heater.
