- Tested to ASTM D5894 cyclic salt-fog/UV exposure – suitable for coastal areas
- Braze-free and press-fitting capable connections for flexible installation
Sustainability & Safety
- R-454B refrigerant – A2L, low GWP, zero ODP, meeting 2025 EPA refrigerant requirements
- Refrigerant Detection System (RDS) per UL 60335-2-40 – stops compressor operation and runs the indoor blower to disperse refrigerant, resuming normal operation once levels are safe
Smart Controls & System Requirements
- Climate IQ™ dehumidification with Dry/Moderate/Humid cooling and Normal/Comfort heating modes
- Lennox communicating control with seven-segment display, pressure-transducer monitoring, compressor lockout protection and 100-code alarm history

Heat Kit Overview
Model #: ECB48-15CB-P
Product Overview
Lennox ECB48 Electric Heat Kits
The Lennox ECB48 Electric Heat Kits are ETL listed and designed for field installation within the unit cabinet. These kits are available in a range of voltage and kilowatt (kW) options—refer to specific Air Handler Tables for proper sizing and compatibility.
Each kit features helix-wound nichrome heating elements positioned directly in the airstream for fast heat transfer, lower operating temperatures, and extended service life. Every element includes a precisely located limit control with a fixed shut-off temperature and automatic reset, ensuring reliable thermal protection. A supplemental thermal cutoff provides an added layer of safety in case of high-temperature conditions.
Heater control relays are included as standard and manage the staging of heating elements based on control board input. Elements are brought online sequentially and in equal stages, with built-in time delays to ensure efficient operation.
The control box and access panel are constructed from heavy-gauge galvanized steel for durability. All components are factory assembled, pre-installed, and wired for quick and easy setup. Low-voltage electric heat controls connect directly to the air handler via a plug-in interface.
Circuit Breaker Models (CB)
“CB” model heaters include integrated circuit breakers that offer both overload and short circuit protection. These breakers are:
-
Factory-mounted and wired within the electric heat unit
-
Current-sensitive and temperature-actuated
-
Manually resettable for added user control
In many jurisdictions, these circuit breakers are recognized as an acceptable disconnecting means, eliminating the need for a separate field-supplied disconnect. Always verify local electrical codes to ensure compliance with installation requirements.
