Bard 8605-017 is an OEM wraparound crankcase heater rated for 240V class applications and designed to keep compressor oil warm during off cycles, which helps prevent refrigerant migration and reduces the risk of flooded starts in Bard wall-mounted HVAC equipment. This heater band installs around the compressor shell to provide consistent low-watt heat where it is needed, supporting reliable cold-weather operation and longer compressor life. Match the part number exactly and confirm voltage and model compatibility from your unit data plate or Bard parts list before ordering to ensure proper fit and safe operation.
