I have a engine block heater on my car and was wondering if i could leave it plugged in at all times. It really comes in hand in the cold weather. No more waiting for the car to warm up.

 

Remote start > Block heater.

 

Yea remote starts are good to but my car didn't come with one. Soo will it hurt if i keep it plugged in all the time?

 

I dont think it would hurt anything. What tempature is it there? My stang is plugged in all the time because its -30 degrees celcius here right now. If i dont plug it in im screwed.

 

well im from chicago. It doesnt get that cold here. This week has been good but last week it was in the low 20's. I plug it in after i come home from work so the next day i don't have to wait for the car to warm up.

 

If you are talking about a circulating water heater in the block, then it won't hurt to leave it plugged in. I lived in Alaska for a number of years, and left mine plugged in without a problem. But, if you are talking about an oil heater, then it will cook the oil.
