A system for an aircraft includes a first fluid circuit extending from a first end to a second end, and a network comprising a plurality of networked heater assemblies disposed along the first fluid circuit between the first end and the second end. Each of the networked heater assemblies includes at least one temperature sensor, a heater element, and a local controller. The at least one temperature sensor is in communication with the first fluid circuit for periodically measuring a temperature in the first fluid circuit and generating a corresponding local temperature signal. The heater assembly selectively applies heat to the first fluid circuit based on the local temperature signal or another temperature signal on the network. The local controller receives the local temperature signal or another networked temperature signal and operates the heater assembly in response thereto to maintain the local temperature signal above a predetermined threshold.
