Goodman Amana HKTAD151 / HKA-15C 15 kW Electric Heat Kit with Circuit Breaker 1 PH 240V

The Goodman HKTAD151 (also identified as the HKA-15C) is a robust 15 kW electric heat kit engineered to serve as the primary or supplemental heating "brain" for compatible air handlers. This kit is designed to provide high-capacity resistive heating—delivering approximately 51,000 BTUs—to support the furnace series during extreme cold or defrost cycles. It is specifically built for legacy and standard Goodman and Amana air handler series, managing the sequenced activation of heating elements to ensure a steady rise in discharge air temperature. By utilizing high-quality sequencers, it prevents simultaneous high-amp draws, protecting your home’s electrical system while maintaining consistent indoor comfort.

Key Features

• OEM Part Number HKTAD151 / HKA-15C: This genuine factory assembly ensures a precise fit and maintains the UL certification of your Goodman or Amana air handler.
• Integrated Dual 60A Circuit Breakers: Provides localized overcurrent protection and a dedicated manual disconnect, ensuring safety during installation and future diagnostic checks.
• Eliminates Contactors & Relay Noise: Features high-reliability sequencers that allow heating elements to cycle on and off quietly, resolving common "thumping" sounds found in lower-quality kits.
• Multi-Stage Safety Monitoring: Equipped with built-in thermal limit switches that monitor for overheating or reduced airflow, automatically disabling power to the elements if hazardous conditions arise.
• Corrosion-Resistant Heating Coils: Utilizes heavy-duty nickel-chromium elements designed for rapid heat transfer and a long service life within high-velocity air streams.

🛠️ HVAC Depot Pro Tip

"Take a Picture First"—this is vital for the HKTAD151 installation because legacy air handlers often have specific wiring colors for the thermostat pigtails. Photographing the existing control board and terminal block ensures you correctly identify the 24V "W" heat call wire. During your Diagnostic Check, verify the integrity of the limit switches; if the heater shuts off prematurely, check for a dirty air filter or a blocked return vent, as these kits require high airflow to prevent the thermal safety from tripping.
