• CRANKCASE HEATER

The Bard 8605-008 crankcase heater is an OEM compressor accessory used on select Bard wall mounted air conditioners and heat pumps to keep the compressor crankcase oil warm during off cycles. By maintaining oil temperature, it helps reduce refrigerant migration and oil dilution at startup, which supports reliable compressor operation and can help prevent hard starts and premature wear after long shutdowns or in colder conditions. Because crankcase heaters vary by voltage, wattage, and compressor frame size, confirm your unit model and electrical rating in the Bard parts list or service manual before ordering to ensure proper fit and correct heater application.
