This is our premium 12V Heating + Cooling kit, designed for hot rods, classics, and vintage builds needing year-round comfort. Uses a fully electric 20mL variable-speed compressor and a heater core integrated into the evaporator.

No engine belts, no pulley load – just electric power. Run full A/C even at idle, and use your engine’s coolant to supply natural heat in winter.

Key Features

  • 12V DC system – no crank or pulley-driven compressor
  • 20mL variable-speed electric compressor (not the weak 14mL)
  • Cooling works at idle – ideal for traffic and low RPM cruising
  • Integrated heater core – run hot coolant through it for heating
  • Compact evaporator: choose under-dash or hidden
  • 3-Year Warranty with expert support
  • Ideal for classic cars, hot rods, custom vans, and vintage trucks

How the Heating Works

The evaporator includes a proper heater core built in. To get heat into the cabin, simply run two heater hoses:

  • Hot coolant feeds into the heater core from your engine or radiator
  • Return coolant hose goes back into your engine

That’s it. When the engine warms up, hot coolant flows through the heater coil and delivers cabin heat just like a factory setup – no electric elements, just real engine warmth.

Power Draw & Alternator Advice

  • System draws approx. 40–45 amps under full load
  • Draw reduces as the cabin cools (inverter slows the compressor)
  • Check that your alternator can handle: vehicle load + 45A + margin for charging
  • We can supply high-output alternators if required

Why Electric Beats Crank-Driven

  • Full cooling at idle – no waiting for engine RPM
  • No belts or brackets needed – cleans up your engine bay
  • Compressor auto-adjusts – slows down when cabin cools, saving power
  • Ideal for show cars, weekenders, and stop-start city traffic

Installation Info

  • Mount the evaporator, condenser, and compressor
  • Connect 3x A/C hoses and 2x wires
  • Heating setup adds 2x coolant hoses (in/out)
