York S1-3500-412P/A Heater Element

Professional contractors recognize the York S1-3500-412P/A heater element as the essential replacement for electric heat kits in York air handlers. This 11.2kW electric heat kit operates at 240V, delivering precise thermal output for auxiliary or emergency heating stages. As a specialized HVAC heater coil replacement, it includes factory-integrated thermal limits that provide critical protection against overheating in cases of low static pressure or blower motor failure. The 240V heater assembly utilizes high-grade nichrome wire, ensuring standard resistance levels and reliable amperage draw during high-duty cycles. Integrating this York furnace parts component ensures seamless fitment into existing chassis and terminal blocks, reducing installation labor and preventing the field-modification issues associated with universal kits. This assembly is designed for rigorous performance, restoring the heating capacity and safety parameters required for efficient HVAC operation in residential and multi-family units.

• High-Grade Resistance Wire: Utilizes heavy-duty nichrome for consistent heat distribution and longevity under high thermal stress.
• Integrated Safety Controls: Pre-installed thermal limits ensure immediate power interruption during airflow obstruction to prevent plenum damage.
• Precision Fitment: Built to exact OEM specifications for direct electrical termination and physical mounting in York air handler cabinets.

Common Questions

How do I verify if this heating element has failed?
Check for electrical continuity across the element terminals using a multimeter; an open circuit typically indicates a broken coil or a tripped non-resetting thermal limit.

Will this work in 208V applications?
Yes, this element is compatible with 208V systems, though the heat output will be derated to approximately 8.4kW compared to the full 11.2kW produced at 240V.

What causes these elements to fail prematurely?
The most common causes are restricted airflow due to dirty evaporator coils or clogged filters, which lead to excessive heat buildup and frequent cycling of the safety limits.
