I have a dimmer switch on it to control the speed of the fan. and in the summer if I run it 100% power, it will heat my incubator up over 92 degrees. my big glass door coke cooler doesn't have this problem as it's way too big for a fan to effect the temps much. in a small incubator go with a dc fan. hope this helps! don
My first year, I found that my incubator had trouble staying cool enough when the house temps got warmer from the constant running of my ac fan, too. I plugged the fan into the same Herpstat that controls the flexwatt, and the problem went away, with no new layering of temperature zones.
