GOODMAN 20 kW (19.2 kW actual) Electric Heat Kit with Circuit Breaker HKTSD20DB

The Goodman HKTSD20DB is a high-capacity electric heat strip (heat kit) designed for seamless integration into compatible Goodman and Amana air handlers. It delivers reliable supplemental or primary electric heating—ideal for heat pump systems needing backup heat in cold weather, defrost cycles, or all-electric setups. Rated at a nominal 20 kW (actual output approximately 19.2 kW at 240V), it produces roughly 65,500–68,200 BTU/h of heat.

Key Features

• Factory-installed circuit breakers for built-in overcurrent protection (typically dual circuits with 60A and 50A max breakers)
• Sequencers for precise, staged temperature control and balanced heating
• Rust-resistant nickel-chromium heating elements for durability and longevity
• Fuse-link secondary high-temperature limit control for added safety
• Plug-in wiring harness for simplified, quick installation
• Completely assembled and factory-tested
• Multiple branch circuit capability and control circuitry that supports easy staging
• ETL Listed and compliant with UL 60335-2-40 standards
• Designed for D-size cabinets

Benefits

• Provides powerful supplemental heat when a heat pump alone cannot meet demand
• No gas line required—fully electric operation
• Easy professional installation with the plug-in harness reduces labor time
• Integrated breakers help protect the electrical system and can eliminate the need for a separate external disconnect in many cases
• Reliable, corrosion-resistant elements support long service life
• Backed by a 5-year limited parts warranty (terms apply; registration may be required for full coverage)
