There are many electrical outlets selling frost watch heaters.
Unless the salesperson has seen your attic he/she cant properly size a correct heater and therefore the heating system may not work or could end up been on all the time which is expensive. Many of these frost watch heaters that you see are just to be left beside the water tank and that is the only area that the heaters will heat. We aim to solve this problem.
Trace heating has been used in industry since the 1930’s.
Trace heating has been used in industry since the 1930’s. Trace heating takes the form of an electrical heating element (heat tape) run in physical contact along the length of a pipe. It can be utilised in a residential setting and combined with a minimum amount of pipe insulation can offer full protection against freezing pipes and hence burst pipes. The kind we use requires no supervision and can be left on unattended.
It is essential that all vacant homes are well protected in order to fight against damage due to frost.
This can cause some serious heartburn when it comes to budgeting. One way that many homeowners have helped to curb these high utility bills is by using an electric radiator space heater as a supplemental source of heat. The whole process works through convection, which allows heat to get transferred through a liquid.
