Wisconsin winters sometimes make for sluggish starts. This accounts for the popularity of using block engine heaters on cars, trucks and tractors.

Some people have developed the wasteful habit of allowing these engine heaters to operate all night long. This is not necessary. Heating the engine for only about 1 - 1 1/2 hours is usually sufficient. However, people don't like going out in the cold during the early morning hours.

We have a solution! Jackson Electric Cooperative provides quality time clocks designed for this purpose. Set the time clock in the evening and forget about the engine heater until morning. You'll be off to a great start!
