The Best Block Heaters

www.thedrive.com

When the cold weather creeps in, it’s important to be prepared. While, for some people, this might mean boots, mittens, and sweaters, for your vehicle, there’s a whole different set of requirements. Engines are just as vulnerable to the temperature as we are. Sure, some might be better at hiding it, starting reliably when the thermostat is low — but that doesn’t mean it’s good for the car’s wellbeing. New, powerful engines might start, but they strain to do it. Older vehicles might not start at all if it’s too cold.

This is where block heaters come into play. Plugging into a standard outlet, these heaters go under your hood and prevent your car’s parts from freezing. To help you track down the best block heaters for your vehicle, we’ve listed the top options available on the market.
