Remote starter.
Many electronics stores have these for sale. Remote starter systems sync with your vehicle’s ignition for you to be able to start the car and allow it to warm up from inside the house, or inside the office. These systems can start in the low $100s and go upwards of $500 depending on the system.
Engine block heater.
If you live somewhere with an extremely cold climate, starting up your vehicle may not be as easy as the click of a button. Engine block heaters provide an extra boost when starting your vehicle by warming the coolant or oil. Block heaters are plugged into a standard AC outlet for 2 to 4 hours depending on the cold. It pre-warms the engine and helps to reduce the wear in the first few minutes after a cold start.
There are 3 main types of heaters, ones that install in the lower radiator hose, ones that install in the heater hose and those that install directly on the engine block. The one installed right on the engine block is the most efficient because it decreases the potential for losing heat through the radiator or hose.
Seat Heaters.
If you don’t have heated seats in your car you can opt for seat cushions that are heated. They range from $20 to upwards of 100$ but are a great alternative to having to go to the garage and install in-car seat heaters which can be pricy. These heated cushions are becoming widely available, heat up in under 5 minutes and you can find them at your local Canadian tire.
Heated Wiper Blades.
There are specially designed heavy-duty wiper blades made for winter driving which are affordable, but n the higher-end scale there are heated windshield wiper blades. The blades do not get clogged with ice and snow when you are driving meaning you will have better vision behind the wheel.
