GREE FLEXX ULTRA R32 electric furnace. The FXU air handler takes up to seven heat kits. Which one fits yours, and what breaker goes behind it?
4 FLEXX ULTRA R32 systems, 2 to 5 tons, each with its FXU air handler. GREE Comfort publishes, for this air handler, the list of kits allowed by tonnage and, for each one, the actual power at 208 and 230 V, the minimum circuit and the maximum breaker. The tool below puts them side by side.

Your air handler, your kit, your circuit.
Pick the air handler, then the kit. If GREE Comfort allows it, you see its actual power at 208 and 230 V, the heat it adds, the minimum circuit and the maximum breaker. If not, the tool says which ones are allowed.
FXU air handler and heat kit
GREE Comfort’s compatibility chart (May 28, 2026) says what is allowed; each air handler’s submittal (Jan. 27, 2026) gives the electrical values, at 208 and 230 V.
Electrical values: each air handler’s own submittal, GREE_FXU24_230V_R32_SUB_01272026 and following. Heat added: actual power × 3,413 BTU/h per kW (NRCan), rounded to the nearest hundred. The 9 and 12 kW kits connect to two supplies; their FXU60 values differ from the FXU36 and FXU48 ones.

8 kW, 6 kW: when the documents disagree.
For the same FXU air handlers, the documents in circulation do not all list the same kits. Here they are, and the one we follow.
Our rule
We order the kit from GREE Comfort’s chart list, for the air handler installed, and confirm with the distributor before installing. For the 6, 9 and 12 kW kits, the nameplate of the kit delivered settles it.
The right kit in the right FXU.
GREE builds the FXU air handler and its kits. AirGreen picks the kit, runs the circuit and installs it all, under its licences 15.8, 15.10 and 16.
What GREE brings
- Seven kits, one chartGREE Comfort shows, for each tonnage, which FLEXA2LHTR kits the air handler accepts.
- The circuit in printEach FXU submittal gives, kit by kit, the actual power, the minimum circuit and the maximum breaker at 208 and 230 V.
- A factory A2L sensorThe indoor leak sensor is factory installed; the electric kit stays optional.
What AirGreen brings
- GREE Elite dealerGREE training completed, priority access to original parts.
- Free estimateWe look at your panel before choosing the kit: at 230 V, a 20 kW kit needs a 108 A minimum circuit.
- RBQ 5645-9605-01Licences 15.8, 15.10 and 16. Gas and oil work is done by a licensed partner.
The result: an FXU with the kit GREE allows for its size, on a circuit sized from the maker’s submittal.
All 4 FLEXX ULTRA R32 systems with an FXU air handler, right below.
Each listing gives the AHRI number of the FXU..AO and FXU..AH pair. The heat kit is ordered separately, from the tool at the top of the page.
The FXU on site: filter, wiring, drain.
The filter
16x20x1 in. for the FXU24, 20x20x1 in. for the FXU36, 20x25x1 in. for the FXU48 and FXU60.
GREE Comfort FXU manual, p. 17The thermostat
Five AWG18 conductors, 30 m at most, not twisted together. W2/AUX drives the kit; L carries the leak protection signal; the third Cool (SA1) DIP switch makes the extra terminal a DH (dehumidify, factory setting) or a Y2 (high demand).
FXU manual, pp. 20, 38 and 43Drain and access
Primary and secondary connections for 3/4 in. PVC, trap close to the coil, slope of at least 1/8 in. per foot toward the drain. 24 in. clear in front; emergency drain pan required over a finished ceiling; in the horizontal-right position, the drain pan is moved.
FXU manual, p. 31 · 36 MBH submittal, p. 6The blower
Five levels, set with the 4 Heat (SA2) DIP switches before power-up; level 3 from the factory. Static pressure up to 1.0 in. w.c. Without a kit: 4.7, 5.3, 7.1 and 7.7 A, 15 A protection.

LogisVert: the FXU pair counts, the kit does not.
Each GREE Comfort submittal prints the pair’s AHRI certificate, from 215213329 (2 tons) to 215213332 (5 tons), and all four numbers are on Hydro-Québec’s list of Oct. 27, 2026. The amount is calculated on the pair’s ENERGY STAR capacity at −8 °C; the heat kit changes nothing. The amounts by tonnage are on the FLEXX ULTRA R32 central heat pump page; they are indicative, and Hydro-Québec confirms them once you apply.
FXU air handler: the six questions we hear most.
Does the FXU come with electric heat?
Which kit goes in my air handler?
Why does my “10 kW” kit give 9.2 kW?
What breaker for a 15 kW kit?
Can I keep my smart thermostat?
What about the 8 kW kit in TTI’s brochure?
An FXU to equip? We pick the kit, then size the circuit from GREE’s submittal.
