Heat Strip In A/C
Anyone have heat strips in their A/C? Those of you that do, how much heat do you get from them?

You all answered my question.:)
I did in fact install them in both of my a/c's. My a/c's are ducted in the ceiling in my 2007 Bounder.
I really couldn't tell if they were actually heating or not, I really didn't feel much heat coming out of the registers/vents. Y'all confirmed what I was thinking. Too much airflow from the a/c fan, and not really a "hot enough" element.
The installation instructions, BTW, actually say they aren't intended to be "furnaces", but as they call them "chill-chasers".
I'm in the hvac business and am able to buy this "stuff" wholesale. So, if $130 (that's what I paid for both strips) will save me a bit of propane, I'm OK with it.
