Bard part number 8604-092 is an OEM electric heat strip rated at 4.5 kW on 240V with a 2-terminal connection, used to provide supplemental or emergency resistance heat in compatible Bard wall-mounted HVAC equipment when heat pump capacity is not enough. Replacing a failed heat strip can restore steady heat output, reduce nuisance limit trips, and help the unit maintain setpoint during colder conditions. Because heat strip kits can vary by kW rating, voltage, and wiring style, confirm your model and serial number requirements in the Bard service literature before ordering to ensure proper fit and safe electrical compatibility.
