Outlet Controls Heat When It’s Needed

Outlet Controls Heat When It’s Needed Save money by turning on heaters only when needed with a Thermo Cube thermostatically controlled outlet. Whether it’s an engine block heater, heat tape, heat lamp, or stock tank heater, why use electricity when it isn’t necessary? Plug a Farm Innovators Thermo Cube TC-3 outlet into a wall socket before connecting a heating or fan device. When you plug your cold-weather heater into the TC-3 outlet, it powers on only when the temperature falls below 35 F. When the ambient temperature exceeds 45 F, the power supply stops. Using a TC-3 not only saves on electricity costs but also prolongs the heater’s lifespan. It works with any 15-amp, 120-volt electric heater or fan used at home or on the farm. As a secondary benefit, it converts any standard outlet into a double receptacle capable of supporting up to two devices. The company suggests using it as a freeze-warning system for furnace failure when you’re away from home. Plug a lamp that’s visible to a neighbor into the TC-3. It’ll turn on the lamp if the furnace stops working and the temperature in the house or outbuilding drops below 35 F. The Thermo Cube TC-3 is sold by many retailers and online stores. It usually costs around $20, but you can find it for as low as $14.99. Other models are available for 0 F, 20 F, and fans.
