John Reid2025-01-23I have had three 120 volt Heat-Line systems operating in winter for many years without any difficulty protecting the domestic water supply lines to my main house and to my adjacent guest house from two deep well pumps located on support frames on the bottom of the St. Lawrence River that flows past the front of my two houses just west of the City of Brockville in the Thousand Islands. The pipelines are all 1 inch PVC pipe, and the lines require Heat-Line protection from freezing in winter because pipeline burial is not possible due to rock. In other words, the lines operate lying on the open ground throughout the winter. Perhaps the most difficult part of installing a Heat-Line heating cable inside my pipes was ensuring accuracy of the measurement of the precise pipeline length so there would not be a portion of the pipeline that was not heated, which then might freeze. Once the Heat-Line package arrived the job of installing the cable inside my 100 foot long 1" PVC pipeline was very easy. I simply fed the cable into the pipeline at its beginning until the cable's "headworks" contacted the beginning of the pipeline, and then the "headworks" was carefully attached to the 1" PVC pipe with the pipe fittings provided and the cable's electrical plug was plugged into the close by electric receptacle, and the job was completed. I elected to also purchase the Heat-Line thermostat with the cable set, and was please to see the simplicity of its installation, which only required screwing its controller mounting bracket to the nearby wall. Attached to the controller were two wires about 4 feet long, one with a male plug to plug into the wall electric receptacle, and the other with a female plug into which the heating cable's m ale plug was inserted, and the job was finished. There was no requirement to set the controlling thermostat, because it was factory set. As an additional remark I make sure all Heat-Line systems are unplugged from their power supply wall receptacles in summer, rather than switching off the receptacle power supply, to ensure that the neutral of the lines, which of course stays connected on 120 volt AC power supply switches, is not available for grounding a summer lightning strike in our area, which of course will result in burning out the Heat-Line unit. In summary, I am very pleased with ease of installation and now with the performance of my Heat-Line winter heating systems for my pipelines as the outdoor temperature drops very low.

Marcus Jamison2024-12-24This may be the first review I’ve ever written for any product in my life, but I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with Heat-Line and their Paladin cable. I had purchased a different heat cord from another company, which was advertised as being “self-regulating.” I had that cord installed to keep my water main from freezing, only to discover that the cord was running at an extremely high temperature, constantly, even on a relatively warm day — literally, the cable was burning hot to the touch. Rather than trust the manufacturer’s guarantee that everything would be fine, I went with my gut. I did some online research, discovered Heat-Line, and gave them a call. It was one of the most important calls I have ever made. The folks at Heat-Line were incredibly knowledgeable and gracious with their time. I had many questions, and they patiently answered them all, in detail. The more they explained to me about various safety variables with such cords, the more I understood that the inferior one I had purchased was a fire hazard in the extreme. Time-wise, I was up against the wall, with winter right around the corner. However, the folks at Heat-Line quickly made a custom-length cable for me. I was able to remove the dangerous cord and install the new Paladin cord from Heat-Line before the first serious cold snap of the year. Not only were the people to whom I spoke extremely knowledgeable and polite, but the Paladin cable itself was vastly superior to the other one that I had bought. The Paladin cable is extremely robust and well-made, and it functions exactly as it is supposed to. I shudder to think about what might have happened to my family and to my house if I had not made the call to Heat-Line. I am more grateful to them than I can express in words.
