Q: My Heat Tape is Self-Regulating. Do I Need this?
A: Self-Regulating Heat Tape will draw variable Power depending on the ambient temperature. It draws more power when temperatures are cold and less power when temperatures are warmer. However when the self-regulating cable is plugged in, it is always working, even if only slightly drawing power in warm temperatures. Adding the ThermaCord will cut the supply of power to your Heat tape when it is not needed. This will save you energy Costs.
Q: How much will it save Me?
A: Savings will depend on the weather and how often the heat cable would otherwise be left running. The ThermaCord helps reduce energy use by turning the cable on only when temperatures drop below its preset threshold, and turning it off when conditions warm back up. In many applications, those savings will offset the cost of the ThermaCord and then some.
