    I have a Wesco electric furnace. I have recently inspected it and everything is working correctly. I did notice that one of the heat strips glows brighter than the other strips. I am wondering if replacing all the heat strips would improve the efficiency or performance of the furnace. I tested the resistance of the wires and they all are about the same. Thanks, Jack

    The part you are talking about is called a heat strip which includes the element, frame and temperature limit switches. The part you need to get is called a restring kit. Any generic 5K nichrome wire coil will work. Try to get a coil that is approximately the same diameter as the original but it is not crucial. You should be able to buy it online or at any local parts distributor. There are many YouTube videos that show how to restring the element.
