Electric tracing or surface heating is what heat tape does. Heat tape is a system used to maintain or raise the temperature of pipes, it takes the form of an electrical element running or wrapped along the length of a pipe.

One drawback to this system is that length is limited. The upside to this type of heat tape is that it is typically inexpensive. De Hart Plumbing, “the Company With Hart”.
