How Do Grid Heaters Work?
I know they're electric and they cycle but what are they heating? I heard they heat the intake air but would like clarification. Thanks.

Theres a metal strip that has a lot of bends -[[[[[[[ so that a one foot strip can fit into a 3" hole , either end is connected to power , basicly a controled short , this gets hot so when the air gets suck in its warm .
