Heating the room?
How do those of you who do, heat the entire room?
I might be able to fashion our spare room into "my room", and let my wife make the bedroom however she wishes and with all of the animals I'm aquiring recently, I was wondering how you WOULD heat the entire room? Just, a space heater with thermostat and let the flexwatt do it's job?

Re: Heating the room?
I have an oil filled heater controlled by a thermostat?
-
Yeah, oil filled heater on a t-stat.

I have tried a few different heater. I have use a ceramic heater, one of the base board stand alone heaters, and what I currently use, an oil filled heater on a thermostat. I have found that for me the oil filled works the best.

You are in the center and just got answers from every side of the US

What type of oil heaters and thermostats do you guys use?
-

Awesome, do you just heat the room and not the cages, or do you have heat tape or the like to create a hot spot?

Heat tape on each cage and tub.

Heat the room to 80 and flex-a-watt with thermostats to heat everyone that needs it.

I am currently using a space heater with a built in thermostat. Also have UTH on the tubs.

I don't, it has a built in that I am using right now
-
Where do you place it? I have a similar one

That's good information, I'll have to save the Lowes link to my Firefox when I get home.

Has a night time drop. Might have to play around a bit to get it right. Depending where you place it.
It's so cold right now, my heater just stays on :(
But the racks are perfect temps.
-
Depends on the temp of the racks but most of the time its almost in the middle of the room
-
I use a $40 Lasko one from amazon, built in thermostat, ceramic, with auto shutoff if it tips over. I have it set to 80, the rest of the house is at 70, it doesn't seem to have any trouble holding that temp.
-
The only obvious reservation I have is all the home fires that have been on the news recently. Is that from people using coil heaters and not ceramic?
I like the sound of the auto shut off if tipped over, that would relieve some of the above fear.
