"I just wanted to report that with temps at -12, my uninsulated pipes DID NOT FREEZE!!  I was ecstatic to have running water in the AM.  Thank you so much and I have been spreading the word about ReadyTemp!"

TOP REASONS

HOMEOWNERS ARE CHOOSING READYTEMP TO PREVENT FROZEN PIPES

• USES FAR LESS ENERGY THAN HEAT TAPE

• STOP HEATING EMPTY / UNOCCUPIED / FOR SALE HOMES  = LOWER GAS BILLS

• PROTECT WATER PIPES HIDDEN IN WALLS, FLOORS, ATTICS, CRAWLSPACES etc

• EASY DIY INSTALL COMPARED TO SOPHISTICATED HEAT TAPE / HEATER CABLE INSTALL

• NO MORE BLOWN-OUT FUSE'S (heat tape)

• NO MORE SERVICE CALLS / MAINTENANCE / ANNUAL INSPECTIONS

• WATER SAVINGS / NO MORE WAITING FOR HOT WATER

• REBATES FROM WATER COMPANIES

• REDUCED SEPTIC SYSTEM MAINTENANCE / UPKEEP / COST

• PORTABLE (RV / WINTER CABIN)

STOP PIPES FROM FREEZING

Pipes may freeze even if they are not exposed to outside air. In extremely cold weather, even pipes that run along exterior walls or through crawl spaces can freeze. Residents of mobile or modular homes and recreational vehicles are particularly susceptible to this problem.  Until recently, homeowners were left to using heat tape or heater cables to prevent frozen pipes. Aside from the sophisticated installation required of these products, high energy consumption (5 watts / foot), maintenance requirements and safety concerns make this option less than ideal for most homeowners.  Often plumbing is inaccessible to wrap pipes with heat tape.  It makes more sense to heat from the inside of the pipe than having to heat the whole pipe.

ReadyTemp "intermittently" circulates water throughout a homes water pipes to prevent pipes from freezing.  When heat tape is used to protect pipes much of the heat and energy is wasted.  Only a small amount of the tapes surface actually touches the pipe it's intended to protect.  By protecting water pipes from the inside of the pipe no energy is wasted.  ReadyTemp is engineered with adjustable temperature control from 45F - 115F.  To prevent pipes from freezing homeowners need only set the temperature dial to an appropriate temperature depending on the freeze threat condition.  Extreme conditions (well below zero) may require a higher temperature setting. ReadyTemp's wide range of available temperatures, easier install and more efficient use of energy make it a popular solution for many homeowners.

 

LESS ELECTRICAL ENERGY

Preventing frozen water pipes often requires more than just insulation, it requires heat.  Using electrical energy (heat tape) to heat water inside pipes wastes energy.  Using gas is efficient and economical.  The energy consumed to protect just 10 feet of pipe with heat tape is 3 times the energy a ReadyTemp would use to protect a whole homes plumbing system.

 

AVOID HEATING WHOLE HOUSE

To prevent frozen water pipes some suggest keeping the heat on in the home and opening cabinets and doors.  Not only is this inconvenient, it's easy to forget and not guaranteed to work.  ReadyTemp prevents frozen pipes from inside the pipe.

 

PROTECT PIPES HIDDEN IN WALLS and FLOORS

Without the ReadyTemp, preventing pipes from freezing in area's that are hard to see or reach can be challenging and expensive.  Since ReadyTemp prevents pipes from freezing from inside the pipe there's no tearing down walls or entering crawlspaces to install heat tape.

 

QUICK-N-EASY INSTALL

Preventing frozen water pipes by installing heat tape can take hours just to prepare the pipe, measuring and calculating how much tape, etc.  Worse case, walls need to be opened up to access pipes which need to be wrapped.  ReadyTemp's 3-step install is simple and easy, enough that 95% end users choose to install it themselves.  Especially, since the whole process can be accomplished in less time than it takes to have a pizza delivered.

 

NO BLOWN FUSE'S (easy heat / heat tape)

Repeatedly, having to change a blown fuse on heat tape in the freezing winter time can be very frustrating and worry some when a home is left unattended.  ReadyTemp utilizes a homes water heater to protect pipes from freezing.  As a result, no blown fuses, just trouble-free dependable protection, year after year.

 

NO MAINTENANCE / ANNUAL INSPECTIONS (easy heat / heat tape)

While heat tape should be inspected yearly, ReadyTemp is maintenance free and requires no inspections.

 

OFF SEASON SAVINGS and COMFORT

ReadyTemp owners benefit all year long from water savings, NO-WAIT hot water convenience and an overall more efficient lifestyle.  Compared to heat tape which benefits the homeowner only during cold seasons.

 

REBATES FROM WATER COMPANIES

Some homeowners qualify for rebates from their water companies due to the large amount of water savings that occur when using one.  Calculations have shown that a family of 4 which waits an average of 1 minute for hot water to arrive at their taps / showers, spends an accumulative total time each year of 97 hours of combined waiting time.

 

REDUCED SEPTIC SYSTEM COST / MAINTENANCE

Saving water in large quantities has a positive affect on septic systems.  Resulting in lower cost to operate / maintain and they'll last longer.

 

NOTE:  owners of "tankless" water heaters should use TL series models.
