So I got some much needed help from macoombi on Sunday with installing my Frost Heater (thanks again BTW!). Yesterday at 2PM I decided to plug it in at work as the temperature was around -15 at the time and dropping. I got in the car at 5PM expecting to see the temp needle around 90 and it wasn't even half way there. In fact, it was hardly above the first three really close marks. I thought that was a bit odd but thought Id give it another try.
I dont pay for hydro at my apartment so I plugged in around 10 PM. I came out at 9AM today expecting for sure it would be at 90. I expect the temps would have been as low as -25 to -30 overnight. This morning was probably around -20. The snow on the hood above where the frost heater is was melted a bit so I thought it worked for sure. I got in and waited for the car to read the temp. The gas needled sprung to life and the temp needle didnt move at all. I drove the car in and the warm up time was about equal to that if I didnt plug in at all. I didnt even bother trying the heat. I am going to double check the outlet was working, but if the now was melted it must have been doing something?
We didnt have the instructions out much since macoombi installed them before, but did we possibly miss something? Is there some kind of temperature calibration or something that I am supposed to do with this thing? I was hoping to try it again today at work but someone took the only spot with a plug (and it doesnt even use it ).
