Bard part number 8604-097 is an OEM electric heat strip heater assembly rated 3.6 kW at 240V with a 2-terminal connection, used as supplemental or emergency electric heat in compatible Bard wall-mounted HVAC equipment when outdoor conditions reduce heat pump capacity or when additional heat is needed. Replacing a weak or open heat strip with the correct Bard OEM component helps restore proper temperature rise and reliable heat output while maintaining the designed electrical fit and airflow clearances of the original heater package. Confirm your unit model and heater kit requirements before ordering, and verify electrical specs and wiring match your existing installation since 8604-097 is commonly superseded by 8604-097BX.
