Heat tape brands??

[Rebecca]

Other then flexwatt what brands are there that I can buy in Canada??

[royal]

there is one that i found... its called nuheat.... they have their own web site... but it is expensive.
IMHO I would use flexwatt from the beanfarm, its way way cheaper, and the forum says it works well.

[Rebecca]

Ya but include shipping and is it still cheaper?? Where does everyone get theirs?? I've searched my town from one end to the other and can't find ANYTHING even remotely like it.

Thats because its illegal in Canada. They used to use it (in wider sizes) in the ceilings of houses for heating. If you can find an electrician that does a lot of house calls, he may have a bunch just waiting to be thrown out. But its not used anymore so you may have to buy it in the states.

is it illegal to have in Canada or just ilegal to sell and buy in Canada?

I belive it is illegal to own, but it is not certified by the CSA so if your house catches fire from it then your insurance is void.

But I have never heard of it causing a fire

I actually found a whole saler in my home town that sells the same thing as the bean farm. It's already wired and everything. The only bad thing is it's wholesale, I gotta buy a bunch of it. But on the plus side I don't have to order from the states, and also my dad can get me a killer deal (the pro's of being the daughter of one of the best known and loved men in my town). I have no idea where they get it but it's the same as the bean farm.

Exactly!

But no one cares if your using it for your animals, they are just worried about places that use it to heat the house, it is a fire hazard in those places.
