Get the exact element — not just the math

These figures come straight from the numbers you enter. A replacement still has to match your original element's data tag: voltage, wattage, coil dimensions, and terminals. Send us your make and model, or a photo of the old element's tag, and we'll confirm the exact part and ship it across Canada.

⚠️ Working on the circuit itself? Confirm wire gauge and breaker sizing with a licensed electrician and your local code.
