Electric resistance heaters typically require no normal peri- odic maintenance when unit air filters are changed properly. The operation and service life may be affected by other condi- tions and equipment in the system. The two most important op- erating conditions for an electric heater are proper airflow and proper supply voltage. High supply voltage and/or poorly dis- tributed or insufficient airflow over the element will result in element overheating. This condition may result in the heater cycling on the
After proper airflow and supply power are assured, regular filter maintenance is important to provide clean air over the heater. Dirt that is allowed to deposit on the heating element will cause hot spots and eventual element burn through. These hot spots will normally not be enough to trip the
