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 always depend on the weather and how often you have temperatures above the threshold that the switch turns on your Heat tape. In most situations where Heat Tape in needed, savings will offset the cost of the ThermaCord and then some.
