Is it a good idea to run a heating cable around the perimeter of the facade between the insulation and the facing brick? Does anyone have this experience?

The masonry workers here advised laying a self-regulating heating cable in the gap between the insulation and the facing bricks. That if necessary could be dried masonry.

Has anyone done so? Cable is not cheap, I have doubts.

I've never heard of such a thing. It's kind of a fantastic idea.

 The idea is delusional, but I did not notice a big contradiction. Problems may arise in the lining, and so the heating of the street in winter time.

And when it burns out, how will you change it?

They say these cables don't burn out.
