Systems and methods for configuration and management of heater elements associated with sensor components are provided. A control component associated with the heater element obtains a plurality of inputs associated with the operation of the vehicle, such as location, operational status of components. The control component can utilize a body of information sources independent of any specific temperature or condition sensors on the sensor component to specify operational parameters of the heater element, such as a lookup table. The specified operational parameters can be selected with consideration of mitigation or discouraging the build-up of frozen precipitation on portions of the vehicle approximate to the sensor components. Additionally, the specified operational parameters can further be selected or specified with consideration of mitigation or discouraging of prolonged operation of the heater element resulting in such damages.
