Bard part number 8604-097BX is an OEM 3.6 kW, 240V electric heat strip with a 2 terminal connection, used as an electric resistance heater for compatible Bard wall mount and related Bard HVAC equipment. This heat strip installs in the unit electric heat section to provide supplemental or emergency heat when the heat pump cannot keep up or when additional heating capacity is needed, helping restore proper discharge air temperature and dependable cold weather operation. For best results, confirm your unit model and electric heat kit application in the Bard parts list or wiring diagram before ordering to ensure correct kW, voltage, and terminal configuration match your existing heater assembly.
Bard uses suffixes like "BX" to manage parts internally. These do not change the physical form or function of the part.
A part number ending in "BX" simply means it is packaged in a box for shipping, rather than for internal assembly use.
Example: 8406-142BX is physically identical to 8406-142.
