I set up a camera and a remote system to turn it on an off. I start it when I see ice. How long it runs depends on temperature. For temps above 20 I usually run about 6 to 8 hours a day. When it gets really cold I run it more, at around 10 or below for highs I run all day. I use a service to install and remove, they will monitor it, but they tend to just leave it on when it starts to get real cold running the electric bill up so I control it myself.
