A suction gas heater control device is described for an engine comprising first detector means for detecting when the engine has attained a complete firing, and for providing a signal in response thereto; a first timer means coupled to an output of the first detector means for continuously providing, upon receipt of the signal, a first operating signal for a period of time which starts with the beginning of inputting of the signal from the first detector means and ends after a first predetermined period of time has elapsed from the stopping of inputting of the signal. Second detector means detects engine temperature and provides a second operating signal when the engine temperature is lower than a predetermined level. A judgment circuit means is coupled to the first timer means and the second detector means for providing a signal for operating a suction gas heater when the first and second operating signals are applied thereto.
