Advantages and disadvantages of seat heating

Still seat heating can be found in the standard car only luxury category. But it does not matter. Today, you can buy seat heatings and forget about the cold cabin. The advantage of such devices is that you can not wait until the entire salon warms up, and immediately go on business. After all, heating has a local effect, so they do their job in 2-5 minutes.

Please note that these systems need to be used wisely. It has been established that constant heating can cause activation of sluggish inflammatory processes. Therefore, if you spend driving more than 5 hours, use the device periodically.

The principle of operation of heating in the form of capes

The design of the heating device is simple and consists of the upholstery and the heating elements themselves. The connection takes place in two ways: if it is a cape, then through the cigarette lighter, and if it is a built-in model, then through the onboard network.

The principle of operation is that the internal heating mechanisms give off heat to the interior of the cabin, you can adjust the heating by changing the power supply and the degree of heating.

Types of capes for seat heating

Heated seats are of two types:

recessed: mounted inside the seat, more durable;
heatings that are not built in: capes (fixed by belts, less durable, but easier to install) and heated covers (put on the seats, do not spoil the aesthetic look of the seats).

Capes are suitable for those who still doubt the effectiveness of such structures. They are also suitable for universal use, because they can be taken to the office on a work chair or used at home, only for this you need a special adapter from 220V to 12.

Internal heaters, of course, take longer to install, but they are more durable. For example, accidentally spilled coffee on the seat does not damage the heating element, which is not the case with all models of capes. Such devices are also used for installation in the rear seats. You can buy heated seats in Kiev, Odessa, Kharkov and delivery in Ukraine at 130.com.ua.
