Auxiliary heater for the car – useful in every season

Outdoor swimming pool, ice cream parlor and a sunny mood: you don’t need much more to be happy.

Summer is by far the most popular season for people in Germany; 44 percent voted for the warmest weeks of the year in a joint survey by Statista and YouGov.

Who wants to think about the coming frosty nights and icy car windows? But a little foresight can pay off.

Car owners can use the time until autumn to equip their vehicle with an auxiliary heater.

The advantages: Free appointments in the Car workshops are now easier to obtain than at the beginning of the cold season – and even in high temperatures, the additional device contributes to comfortable temperatures at the wheel.

Against heat build-up in the car

Many drivers only think about installing an auxiliary heater when the temperatures drop. But that is when specialist shops are already at their peak when they switch to winter tires.

If you're smart, you act countercyclically and prepare for the summer. Auxiliary heaters can be retrofitted in almost any car, installation takes no longer than a day - and they're useful even in high temperatures.

Parked cars can be cooled down with fresh outside air before departure via remote control, which counteracts heat build-up.

To ensure reliable and long-lasting operation, the connection of the device to the water, fuel and air distribution systems as well as the electronic vehicle control system should be left to specialists.

Therefore, for example, the Manufacturer Webasto via a Germany-wide network of around 1.000 regularly trained installation partners; with the online dealer search on standheizung.de, companies in your area can be easily found.

More safety and comfort

The advantages of a parking heater in terms of comfort and safety become truly apparent after the first autumn night. Even if it's only cold in the morning, the parking heater pre-warms and dehumidifies the interior air.

Misted-up windows are a thing of the past, and you won't have to scrape ice in the future either. By preheating at the desired time, you always have a clear view and therefore a safe journey, and the technology also saves a lot of effort and time in everyday life.

For example, Webasto auxiliary heaters are maintenance-free. To maintain them, we only recommend switching the system on for ten minutes once a month, even in summer.

When it comes to operating options, everyone should find something suitable, whether it's a radio remote control, switching on directly in the car or a smartphone app that can also be controlled via Alexa Skills, for example.
