Golf Cart Heater
|
The smallest golf cart heater usually costs between $40 and $60, runs on propane and can last around seven hours on one propane cylinder. These types of golf cart heaters can be purchased at your local hardware store and output somewhere around 3,000 British Thermal Units of heat. These smaller golf cart heater units are usually made of durable stainless steel as well as other metals and a plastic base portion. These types of heaters generally mount somewhere on the dashboard. Most of these golf cart heater types will also include a safety grate that covers the front of the heater. This helps protect against accidental burning should someone get too close to the heater. For the most part, these tiniest golf cart heaters are suitable for general golf cart use throughout the winter months. However, if you live in a particularly cold climate, or have extra heating needs, you will probably be happier with one of the mid-range or large golf cart heaters. For larger, more even heat distribution, you should consider an electric golf cart heater. These are easy to install, constructed with high quality parts and run on the power of your golf cart. This can be a great advantage. Instead of having to purchase and refill propane cylinders, you never have to replace a fuel supply with electric golf cart heaters. Most electric golf cart heaters come in both 48 and 36-volt types and come with complete installation instructions. Though electric golf cart heaters are nice because you don't have to replace fuel units, they do cost quite a bit more money. It's up to you if the convenience as well as the money saved on propane refills over time is worth it to you in your particular situation. In addition to general golf cart heaters, there are individual golf cart seat warmers that are plugged into the golf cart's main electrical circuit. Generally these will work with either 12, 36 or 48 volt carts, are made with mildew resistant and fade resistant fabric, and comes with an on/off switch. These can be a nice way to heat riders in addition to a dashboard mounted heater. This can be especially great on the back seat of a 4-pasenger golf cart, where the dash mounted heater may have trouble reaching. There are also handy, inexpensive drink heaters that can fit into the built in drink holders in your golf cart. Generally, these are hooked up to the golf cart's main power circuit and can keep drinks warm indefinitely. Usually, one must use the same brand heating cups as the heated holder. The generic cup heaters will fit in most popular models of golf cart. About The Author: Esther has worked for golf cart manufacturers for more than 10 years as golf cart technician.
