If your house is cold then get a low wattage red bulb and run it 24/7.
yes i have a red bulb on my list.. im making it as we type.. lol
as for the pad it is very close if not dead on covering that much. i live in a very old farm house we are remodeling and its pretty drafty in here at times. i have an amazon parrot and she needs it 70 and i still keep a light on her all the time because she gets cold.

i dont have a home depot where i live but i searched on walmart.com and they have that thermostat.. once i get it how do i use it.. where do i put it????
