All Check seat heater systems have at least two levels of temperature control built into the design. (Temperature Controls include: Self limiting heating elements, Bi-Metal Thermostats and Electronic Digital Controllers.)

Properly installed seat heaters are extremely safe.

The maximum surface temperature of the seat is normally 105°F to 115°F.

Two to three Minutes.

Seat heaters have either Bi-Metal thermostats or Electronic Digital Controllers.

Check Corporation has a two and three temperature seat heater system available as standard products and we can build a control unit with 10 or more settings if requested with minor programming changes to our standard control module.

This is not a practical method for adjusting the temperature of a 12 volt DC system.

Check Corporation's systems have been subjected to an automotive, simulated 10 year durability test and passed. They have also passed the off-road vehicle seat cushion durability test SAE-J1454 and the Heavy Truck, Million Mile Shaker test.

As the temperatures of the heating elements are much lower than the maximum interior temperatures of the vehicles they are installed in. (E.g.: Most vehicle interior temperatures exceed over 200°F when parked in the sun)

The seat heater normally carries the same warranty as the seat it is installed in which ranges from 1 to 3 years.

At 13.8 VDC or 41 to 69 Watts.

A switch is normally used to activate the heaters and to adjust the temperature settings on multi temperature systems.

Automotive Grade resistance heating wire, foam and adhesive to bond the wire to the foam. Note: all these materials meet the FMVSS 302 flammability safety standard.

They are the most commonly used seat heater elements used in OE Automotive seating today. The durability is a function of the strength, flexibility and the proper application of the wire in the design of the heating element.

Check Corp. has patented an element design that can be molded into the cushions of the seat when they are manufactured. These heaters become an integrated part of the seat base foam and this helps them to be more durable and unnoticeable.

The seat heaters stretch and bend with the foam of the seat and therefore do not change the comfort or the appearance of the seat.

MSRP Installed pricing ranges from $200 per seat to $650 per seat depending on the vehicle make and model, the type of seat heater system being installed, and the number of other options being installed at the same time. Part costs range from $30 to $120 per seat depending on the size of the heating elements, switch design, harness lengths and the features of the system.

That's why we recommend professional installation whenever possible although our product is engineered to be as friendly as possible for both installers & end-users.

And still counting.

But our focus is on Industrial, Off Road, RV's, Trucks, Motorcycles, Boats & Automotive Aftermarket Seats.
