Purchasing Resources for Anti-Condensation Heaters

Anti-condensation heaters can prolong the life of electrical equipment that is used in tropical environments or near the ocean. If your electric motor or alternator does not have an anti-condensation heater, install one the next time you have the equipment serviced.

These heaters maintain a warm temperature within the enclosure to prevent condensation, which causes corrosion. Note the material of your equipment's enclosure when purchasing heaters. An anti-condensation heater built for aluminum may not be suitable for those made of fiberglass.

Consider the operating procedures for a heater prior to purchase. A thermostat is not included with some heaters; it is either sold as an accessory or not required for the particular model. The heater may require a humidistat as well.

Check the operating temperature of the heater to ensure it is suitable for your environment. You may also find that using two small heaters requires less energy than using a larger model. Discuss your equipment's specifications with the manufacturer and anti-condensation heater distributors for recommendations.

Compare the life expectancies of different models, and check for warranties. Spending more for a durable model that does not require daily monitoring can save you time and money in the long term.
