About KAT'S Heaters
KAT'S Heaters has been a trusted name in cold-weather vehicle protection since 1948, when the brand first specialized in starting aids for engines struggling through brutal winter conditions. Over more than seven decades, KAT'S has grown from a focused engine block heater manufacturer into one of the most comprehensive heating solution providers in the automotive, light and medium truck, off-road, and industrial markets. In 2022, Nickson Industries — a privately held manufacturer headquartered in Plainville, Connecticut — acquired the KAT'S Heaters brand, further strengthening the line's engineering capabilities and USA-based manufacturing.
A Heating Solution for Every Cold-Weather Challenge
The breadth of the KAT'S product catalog is one of its defining strengths. What started with engine heaters has evolved into a full ecosystem of cold-weather protection. Whether you drive a passenger car, a diesel pickup, a fleet vehicle, or operate heavy off-road equipment, KAT'S offers a purpose-built heating solution. The lineup includes freeze plug heaters, magnetic heaters, silicone pad heaters, battery heaters, circulation heaters, diesel starting fluid systems, and more — each engineered to address a specific thermal challenge that cold weather imposes on mechanical systems.
For those concerned about engine lubrication at startup, oil pan heaters keep oil from thickening overnight, reducing wear and drag when temperatures plummet. Drivers who want cabin comfort before they even turn the key will find KAT'S interior warmers a practical solution for pre-conditioning the vehicle's cabin. Cooling system integrity is equally important, and KAT'S radiator coolant hose connectors are designed to integrate seamlessly with their circulation heater systems. To tie it all together, KAT'S offers dedicated engine heater cords that ensure reliable electrical connections for any heater in the lineup.
Why Cold-Weather Engine Protection Matters
Cold starts are among the most damaging events an engine endures. When temperatures drop, oil viscosity increases dramatically, coolant circulates sluggishly, and batteries struggle to deliver full cranking amperage. An engine heater pre-warms the coolant, oil, or block itself before the ignition fires, allowing lubricants to flow freely and reducing the mechanical stress of cold-start conditions. Regular use of an engine heater can meaningfully reduce long-term engine wear, improve fuel efficiency during warm-up, and extend the intervals between major service events.
Engineering & Manufacturing Heritage
A key differentiator for KAT'S Heaters is that all products are engineered and manufactured in the USA. Under the Nickson Industries umbrella, KAT'S benefits from a company-wide commitment to high-quality packaging, innovative product development, and responsive customer support. The brand serves both the OEM sector and the automotive and heavy-duty aftermarket, giving it a broad base of real-world application data that informs every new product design.
From the farm field to the frozen highway, KAT'S Heaters delivers proven, reliable thermal protection for virtually any engine application facing cold-weather challenges.
