No these stay on. You can put them on a timer but I keep mine on 24/7 until the seeds germinate. If you also turn on the grow lights just be careful to not over heat. I leave the lights off until the first seeds germinate, then turn on the lights and lower the setting on the heating pads. I also check the temperature regularly in the top 1/2" of soil and regulate it for peppers to the upper 80s or lower 90s.
