1. A heating unit for a heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
a first airflow path through the heating unit;
a second airflow path through the heating unit;
a heater assembly including a first heating coil positioned within the first airflow path, a second heating coil positioned within the second airflow path, and a coil divider extending along a length of the heating unit from the first heating coil to the second heating coil by a distance to separate the first heating coil and the second heating coil such that the first heating coil and the second heating coil are separated from one another along the length of the heating unit by the distance, wherein the first heating coil, the second heating coil, and the coil divider are aligned with one another along the length of the heating unit;
a partition abutting the coil divider and separating the first airflow path and the second airflow path within the heating unit upstream of the heater assembly; and
an outlet configured to discharge a comingled airflow comprising a first airflow directed along the first airflow path across the first heating coil and a second airflow directed along the second airflow path across the second heating coil from the heating unit.
