It can be a struggle to start up vehicles with diesel motors in cold weather. An engine block heater can help, but basic timers on block heaters can overuse electricity, increasing your costs. Engine block heater controllers are smart enough to run only when needed, saving you energy, time and money.
Three reasons to switch to smart engine block heater controllers
1. Save energy
Newer, more efficient smart engine block controllers are superior to older block heater timers because they use variables such as ambient temperature to know when to operate. This helps reduce engine block run times. When setting preheat times using a block timer alone, you must plan for the worst-case scenario. But smart controllers dynamically adjust schedules for optimal efficiency.
2. Save time
Smart engine block controllers are easy to install and program. After that is done, less daily labor is needed.
3. Save money
Energy savings come from not running equipment longer than necessary or when it’s not needed. More savings come from a $125 incentive* available for products found on the qualified product list.
