|---|---|---|
| 5 kW | 17,061 BTU/h | 20.8 A |
| 7.5 kW | 25,591 BTU/h | 31.3 A |

Frequently asked questions
Will your elements fit my Rheem heat pump or air handler?
We match replacement elements to Rheem units by wattage, voltage, and dimensions — not just the brand name. Send your model number or a photo of the old element's data tag and we'll confirm the exact fit before you order.
How do I find my Rheem model number?
Check the rating plate on the unit — usually inside the access panel or on the cabinet. It lists the model and serial number, which is all we need to match the right element.
Do you carry elements for older or discontinued Rheem models?
Often, yes — and when a part is discontinued we can custom-build a match to the original spec. Send the details or a photo and we'll quote it, shipped across Canada.
Can I use an element from one Rheem model on a different Rheem model?
Usually not directly — even within the same Rheem lineup, models can differ in chamber or cabinet size, wattage, or voltage, so elements aren't universally interchangeable across models. Send us both model numbers (or a photo of the data tag) and we'll confirm whether the same element fits, or spec the right one for your exact model.
