Webasto coolant heater systems are integrated with your truck’s preexisting engine coolant circuit. This can bring your engine up to proper operating temperatures, thus eliminating cold engine starts. An additional benefit, depending on the system, supplemental heat can be provided to the cab! Imagine no more waste fuel idling when not in operation.
The coolant heaters have an available BTU/H range of 17,200 to 120,000!
What is the Actual Cost Savings of the Webasto system(s)?
Well, this of course will vary depending on which system you get and how much you choose to use it. Also the time of year will be a factor, as many times the fresh night air is great for sleeping. However, if you are like most of us, you’ll keep the windows closed and the cab can get a bit stuffy, but not with the Webasto.
But, just so you can get a general idea, let’s look at the cabin heating. If on average you heat your truck 26 weeks a year. Operate your truck 5 days a week, with an average of 4 hours idle time a day. Now, if fuel is $3.60 a gallon, you are spending almost $9,200 a year on wasted fuel cost! But if you were using the Webasto heating system you could save approximately $2,200 a year, just in fuel cost! Now, as I said results vary depending on much you use the system, but the potential savings can’t be ignored!
