No way I can raise the room temps I am already spending $700 a month on oil plus it gets so hot I can't stand it. My house is 200 years old so the heat just flies out of it. maybe i will raise the tubs the floors are cold they are over a unheated granite basement. I peeled off the other Uth which is larger and put it on the bottom of the tub see if that helps. The accurite has to be off. I will be checking the temps constantly I have been doing it for days probably not helping with my snake's stress.
