Well, I figure that I might as well suck it up and deal with it, and just wire a thermostat instead of mucking around with a dimmer. So... how exactly do you do this? How do you know which wire is the wire that brings the power in? Do I just clip the wire on the heat source, strip a little bit of the power wire, wire a new wire to it, then wire that to the thermostat, then another piece from the thermostat back to the other end of the original power wire? Is this how it's done exactly? How do I keep it from electrocuting or causing a fire? Is electrical tape enough to prevent this? Thanks in advance, I couldn't seem to figure it out on the DIY threads, I think my brain is refusing to work.
