my room is always cold...

Yep, but you will need a thermostat and a dimmer to run that setup. Plug the hot side directly into the thermostat and plug the cool side into the dimmer and then into the thermostat so you can dial the temp down.

ok, that was the plan to begin with. just wanted to capitalize on someone else's question to make sure i had things right in my head.

thanks so much. now i'm just that much closer to being able to finally look for the right snake.
