Important Note:
Check the unit Model Number on the Unit Data Label to determine the correct heat size for
replacement. Example: AVP36ACA 15 MII the number 15 indicates a 15 kw electric heater element.
If the model number is faded and cannot be read from the label, check the old heater endplate for a
stamp indicating its voltage and KW. If the stamp on the heater endplate cannot be read, count the
number of elements and have a licensed HVAC contractor or electrician ohm the element and
determine the KW.
