Vantera Incorporated is a Canadian manufacturer of IPLC.COM engine block heater controllers, with more than 30 years of experience developing technology for vehicle heating management. Its award-winning system has more than 200,000 installations across Canada and is designed to reduce unnecessary electricity consumption while helping vehicles start reliably in cold weather.
Unlike conventional block heater timers, IPLC controllers automatically begin a heating schedule when a vehicle is plugged in, accommodating different driving routines without requiring daily timer adjustments. The system initially delays heating while the engine remains warm, then regulates electricity delivery according to outdoor temperature and wind chill conditions. It also tests the vehicle’s electrical load each time it is connected, providing information about the connected equipment. Depending on regional conditions, the technology can deliver electricity savings of up to 65%, according to the manufacturer.
