The Thermo Cube is a unique, patented electrical device that plugs into a standard 15 amp electrical outlet and turns power on automatically according to outside air temperature, saving money by using power only when temperatures require heating or cooling. There are five models available with different temperature ranges to choose from. Each unit has two receptacles for use with more than one electrical device. Cold weather model TC-3 turns on at 35°F, off at 45°F and is ideal for home and farm applications such as pond de-icers, unheated rooms, pump houses, greenhouses, boats and RV's. One year limited warranty.

Works great within its limits4
I've used this ThermoCube for a few years to protect some vulnerable water pipes in an otherwise unheated shed.

There are several cosmetically-identical versions. The TC-3 model (on this page) is designed to turn on at 35F and off at 45F, which is pretty critical information that should be in the product description. It's rated 15amps and 1800 watts according to [...], which sells these for over [...] each.

I've been using this device to switch a radiant oil heater. The new ones will control 250-watt brooder heat lamps. If you're worried about pipes freezing, it's cheap enough and simple enough to be worth a try.

It gets 4 stars because the temp sensor is not accurate (on at 38F) and there's no indicator lamp confirming the device is getting power from the outlet.

Thermo Cube Revue5
This is a great product.

Unfortunately it is not marketed properly.

It took forever to find someone that sells these.

These sould be sold at pet outlets and farm supply stores.

Agway did sell a version of this when they were in business.

We use about 10 of these on our farm.

Chickens, P Fowl, Goats, Horses, Brooder room, etc.

Above are some of our applications.

These are excellent for farm use.

Great product!

Really works!5
I looked for years for something like this to help protect my frost-sensitive plants! I have been using it with C9 Christmas lights and a cover (sheet, blanket or pool cover) on my plants and haven't lost one plant since. It has saved me a lot of money since I don't have to put the lights on a timer all night long like I used to. It's really worth buying!
