Overview

Note: Please see "Engine Application Guide" below for compatible heater models.

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 (110V/120V models only, 220V models include no plug to allow for European outlet variance), 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.

Fairly easy install. Had a Tanis Engine heater on my last IO-360. I live in Wyoming at 6700 feet and it gets cold. Plugged in overnight at 10 degrees with a blanket over the cowl and the whole engine was warm. Engine fired right up. Best money I have spent.

Will plan to return item after researching another mfg product that uses aluminum strip instead of this flexible rubberized component. The Reiff product has a 5 year warranty . Aircraft Spruce apparently does not carry Reiff, although I use them 99 percent of the time for my aircraft needs. The Reiff unit is advertised as more forgiving if installation is somewhat not perfect.

Complete kit includes RTV and plastic spreader. 3M adhesive is amazing. Works as advertised. Its so nice to check the oil and feel how warm the dipstick is.

E-Z Heat Engine Heater 441 110V/120V

November 21, 2023

Unfortunately, after glueing it to my oil sump, heating pad was defective and didn’t heat up. I’m in the process of returning it for a replacement. Hopefully the next one will work. I’m sure it is just a fluke as I’ve received many good reviews from others that have them on their planes. We will see….

E-Z Heat Engine Heater 360 110V/120V

November 15, 2023

Heats oil and engine quickly! I purchased the model #440 for an 0-320 and I couldnt justify spending the money some other brands out there wanted. Installation was easy and probably took only 30 minutes, with most of the time spent removing cowling and cleaning the area where the pad sticks to.

Q&A

Please note, Aircraft Spruce's personnel are not certified aircraft mechanics and can only provide general support and ideas, which should not be relied upon or implemented in lieu of consulting an A&P or other qualified technician. Aircraft Spruce assumes no responsibility or liability for any issue or problem which may arise from any repair, modification or other work done from this knowledge base. Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: Do these E-Z Heat Aircraft Engine Preheaters need FAA field approvals?

Per the supplier: No, they do not require field approvals.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: How long is the warranty on the E-Z Heat Aircraft Engine Preheater?

The manufacturer's warranty is 3 years.

Q: What is the amperage draw on the EZ440?

Approx 2.4 amps

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.
