Heated seat
covers are therapeutic and keep your cushion warm on those cold days. Install
them under seat covers and plug into your 12 volt outlet.
How do
they make heated seat covers?
Heated seat
covers are made by combining heating pads and seat covers together. Install the
Pro Series heating pads on top of your factory seat cushion and backrest.
Secure the pads by inserting the straps into the buckles and pull until they’re
snug. Ignore the heating pads as you install our seat covers and insert the 12
volt power connector into the accessory socket in your vehicle. Turn the
temperature control dial on and in about 60 seconds your seat covers will be
nice and warm.
The handheld
temperature controller allows you to adjust the heat to that perfect level. The
controller features a 30 minute safety shut-off circuit. This is a precaution
in case you forget to unplug the heated seat covers in you car or truck.
Our seat
heaters are waterproof for a reason:
By using a 600
denier 100% polyester fabric with two polyurethane coatings, the heated seat
cushion is virtually waterproof. All camouflage fabrics, including the atomic
line, feature this special treatment. We want ensure that spills do not soak
through the fabric.
Heated
seat covers vs. Heated seats:
The difference
between heated seat covers and heated seats is time, money and quality of the
heating pads. The pads used for heated seat covers are installed on top of your
factory seats while, heated seats require pads to be installed under your
original factory interior.
There is a large
difference in price as well. The pads for heated seat covers cost $85.00 and
install in a few 5 minutes. Factory style seat heaters cost about $75.00
-$100.00 but, will cost about $200.00 to get it professionally installed.
If anything goes
wrong with your heated seat covers it’s easy to diagnose and fix. However, if
something fails with a factory style heater it can be very expensive in time,
labor and parts.
Despite advances
in heating technology, many factory and aftermarket seat heater kits are still
made with old style coated copper wire or carbon fiber with copper or silver
power bus lines. The heating, cooling, our movement on a seat, what we have in
our pockets and what we wear, all contribute to metal fatigue. In essence, any
use of metal in a seat heating device sets the stage for failure, sooner rather
than later.
Alternative
technology provides great heating results safely:
The ProHeat
system features a carbon fiber heating element which is hermetically sealed
within a shielding that protects against any exposure to moisture. Our element
does not rely on metal to produce heat. The only metal used in our heating
system is a bi-metal thermostat. It is a safety device which helps regulate the
temperature of each heating pad.
