Unless we just entered the twilight zone ..heat tape absolutely DOES raise ambient temps. Where do you think the heat from the tape goes? My room is 73 degrees. The tape heats the floor temp to 91 degrees in my tubs and that heat travels up... as heat tends to do and becomes trapped in the tub raising ambient temps to 84 degrees. Im amazed at the amount of garbage advice on this forum. Seriously.
