Preheating engines for winter operations is at best a miserable chore and at worst can be a disaster for the plane, the pilot & flight operations - until the development of the E-Z Heat Aircraft Engine Heater. The E-Z Heat was designed to provide very efficient engine heating for virtually all propeller driven aircraft. The heaters consist of a flexible synthetic pad that easily conforms to the contours of the oil pan. This pad will heat 12 qts of oil from -40° to +60°F in an hour while using approximately 300 watts of electricity. The heater is 1/32" thick. which enables the immediate heat transfer from heater to engine. The heaters are thermostatically controlled, so leaving them plugged in overnight means the plane will be ready to go in the morning. Normally, complete pre-heating takes only 3-5 hours for the entire engine to be nice and warm. With this new lighted plug, the owner simply needs to look out the window or peek in the hangar to see if they remembered to plug in their E-Z Heat engine pre-heater. Molded into the male plug end is a newly designed light emitting diode (LED). This LED allows the operator to visually recognize if there is electrical power to the preheat system even from a distance. FAA approved for certificated aircraft. End your cold weather starting problems and reduce premature engine wear. E-Z Heat Installation Instructions |
| Power Consumption: 300 watts or less / Thermostatically Controlled Power Requirement: 110/120 volts (models 440, 441 and 540 are available in 220 volts). Installation: The adhesive is already on the pad. All you need to do is peel and stick it on! (excluding model 470) Preheat Time: 3 to 5 hours on cold soaked engine, although, since unit is thermostatically controlled, it may be left on overnight, or all the time. Cowl covers and prop covers are recommended for extreme cold weather, they also reduce preheat time. Lite Brite Plug: With this new lighted plug, the owner simply has to look out the window or peek in the hangar to see if they remembered to plug in their E-Z Heat engine pre-heater! (excluding model 470) Weight: Only 9 ounces! Heat Transfer: Convection/conduction, the safest way of heat transfer available. No flames or glowing elements are potential fire hazards.

Great product, we have them on all 7 of our planes. Just plug them in and in 2-3 hours the whole engine is nice and warm, even when its -30 outside! We have tried other types and none have worked as good as the E-Z heat models, they also have the best price! |

Works great. After pre-heating all night in 20° F weather, I found 60° F on the pan, 50° F on the oil itself (laser thermometer) and 45° F all the way up on the top of the cylinders! Install was messy, but straightforward. Follow instructions carefully. Make sure sump is clean, clean, clean. Used a floor jack and gentle pressure with rags to provide the 10 minutes of pressure needed after you initially apply the adhesive. Competitors have smaller 2-prong plugs. This one has a huge illuminated 3-prong plug. The illumination is nice, but the cord is huge and way too long. For aircraft applications, it only needs to be a few inches to wrap it around an engine mount. You have to run an extension cord anyhow. PS: Whatever size is listed for the O300A was a PERFECT fit, right down to the notch for the drain. |

Over the weekend I installed this E-Z HEAT ENGINE HEATER 440 110V on the bottom of my oil sump. This morning I went to hangar to see how well it worked. When I opened hangar door the thermometer read 33.8 degrees. On prior days this would have ensured a very iffy engine start. I know 33.8 is moderate temperatures for you guys that live in really cold climates but out here in sunny, Phoenix AZ that is freaking cold and my plane does not like to start when it is cold. Anyway, the unit indicated it was on and working as it should be. I rolled the airplane out of the hangar. I turned the prop by hand 6 times just to get oil in to the system. I jumped in and went through a normal engine start check list. I am very happy to report the engine started easily within three or 4 seconds with no special handling of throttle or mixture. She just started like it was a mild spring morning. I believe my problem of cold morning starting in my home hangar world is solved. |

Used the E-Z Heat 440 last winter for the first time and it worked great! Easy and quick to install! |

After spending just under $300 to get this thing installed by a licensed A and P, about two minutes after plugging it in the first time, it started smoking badly. Had to remove it and confirmed that when you plug it in, it will attempt to burn down your hangar. Ordered a REIF which has been a success. |
|
Easy to install, heats on cold days in an hour. Great product. Installation took less than 30 minutes after a quick run up. |
|
Installed this on my Cessna 150L and I’m happy with it. Install was straight forward and with it turned on for just 1 1/2 hours with the outside air temp around 32 the Cessna started right up. |
|
Easy to install. Works great. Would recommend the U-Phone-iT cell uplink which allows you to just send a text to turn it off and on versus driving to the hangar to plug it in before every flight. |

I ordered the model 440 which was specified for my TCM TSIO-360-SB2 engine (M20K). However, the fit isnt very good. That model is called a 4x4 square. But where the cord enters the heating element, there is about a 1x1x1/3 fatter section that must house the brains of the device (Ill call it the control box). The fatter control box section is on one side along the adjacent side of the square--essentially making the device 5 long on one side, 4 long on the opposite, and 4 wide with one side L shaped--offset such that it seems the control box should go around the drain plug (the L), allowing the heating pad to be mounted as close to the bottom of the sump as possible. But putting the control box to the side of the drain plug puts the side of the heating element over the side of the oil pan, which has semicircular cutouts long the sides allowing for the application of a long socket wrench when undoing the oil pan. There was really only one place to put it--the entire thing behind the drain plug, with the control box towards the plug. This wasnt great though as the oil pan is sloping up there, the rear edge of the heating pad is completely against the rear edge of the oil pan (towards the accessory gearbox), and--most importantly--the control box is near (behind) the drain plug. The curvature of the pan in that location led to the control box not sticking along one edge, despite my preheating all surfaces per the directions and applying pressure longer than the specified 15 minutes. I hope that this wont result in the whole pad peeling off or otherwise coming unstuck over time. It seems this model should really be just a bit narrower with a centered control box on the short side. Perhaps a 3.25x4 pad, with the 1 square control box centered, meant to be mounted away from the drain plug. I do think this is a relatively efficient and elegant way to heat the oil, and it seems to work well (it does take some time when the air/oil is really cold). I hope mine stays put. |

Works great. |

Great price and great product! Heater does not need any paperwork for the FAA which is a plus. EZ-Heat answered my questions about what model for the engine in my Piper. |
Does the installation require a logbook entry by an A&P?
Per the supplier: No, a log book entry is not required by an A&P.
Regarding the E-Z Heat Aircraft Engine Preheaters: I have a Continental IO 550 engine. This engine is not listed by you for choosing a model of your product. The engine is similar to IO 550, so would it be permissible to use the EZ540?
Per the supplier: Yes, they can either use the EZ540 or the EZ441 for that engine type.
Do these E-Z Heat Aircraft Engine Preheaters need FAA field approvals?
Per the supplier: No, they do not require field approvals.
Installed one of these on my aircraft a year ago, just curious what the thermostat on and off temps are? I.E. it comes on at ______, degress and kicks off at _____ degrees ? I have the IO 360 model. thank you
It comes on at around 120F and shuts off at around 165F.
Ive read we shouldn't leave heaters on continuously (weeks at a time) as it may harm the oil above the heat pad in the pan. Any comments?
Per the supplier: You can leave this on for about a week or two as long as you fly your aircraft at least once or twice a month.
How long is the warranty on the E-Z Heat Aircraft Engine Preheater?
The manufacturer's warranty is 3 years.
What is the amperage draw on the EZ440?
Approx 2.4 amps
What is the difference between part #s 07-05200 and 07-05200-2?
These are the same units, only difference is the input voltage. The 07-05200 is intended for use with 110v input voltage. The 07-05200-2 is intended for 220v input voltage. 220v input is commonly found in Europe. The USA wall outlets are all 110v.
Can the EZ HEAT heating pads be mounted around rounded corners or areas with curvature on the sump?
The heaters can take a slight curve but can not be creased due to the fact that they have heating elements throughout the pad so they can get broken, burning out the pad, if creased or bent to sharply. The round sump will take the 360 which has tabs so that you don't have to bend it.
Should you remove paint down to bare metal on the sump before installing this EZ-HEAT heater?
As long as the paint is in good shape and not chipping or pealing off, you can just stick it on the painted sump.
