Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. TUTCO's sales and engineering teams can help evaluate the heating application and determine an appropriate heater configuration. Factors such as airflow, temperature rise, duct size, electrical supply, installation requirements, and controls can all be considered when developing a custom solution.
Yes. A custom electric duct heater can be engineered around the dimensions, electrical requirements, airflow, heating capacity, and installation constraints of an existing HVAC system. This can be especially useful when replacing an older heater or when an exact standard replacement is no longer available.
TUTCO Custom Duct Heaters use durable open-coil resistance heating elements. The elements are designed with a relatively low watt density of approximately 45–65 watts per square inch, helping provide dependable heating performance and long element life when properly applied.
Yes. TUTCO Custom Duct Heaters can incorporate controls and safety features based on the application. Standard features include automatic and manual reset protection, an air pressure switch, control transformer, and a relay or contactor for each stage. Fan interlock circuits and other controls can also be incorporated when required.
Key information typically includes duct dimensions, airflow, entering and desired leaving air temperatures, supply voltage, phase, required heating capacity, and installation configuration. Control requirements, available space, environmental conditions, and other application-specific needs may also be considered when developing the heater.
A custom duct heater is a good choice when a standard heater does not meet the dimensional, electrical, heating, airflow, control, or installation requirements of the HVAC system. TUTCO can design electric duct heaters around the specific requirements of new equipment, replacement applications, and specialized commercial or residential HVAC systems.
