Vehicle parking heaters — Description

A parking heater warms the engine, and sometimes the cabin, before a trip starts, which reduces cold-start strain on the engine in winter and saves time in the morning. Some models run on a timer or remote control, letting you schedule warm-up for a specific time. When choosing one, consider the engine size and how it will be installed. This kind of heater is especially useful for cars kept outdoors or in an unheated garage.
