Running an Oil filled heater

[SDA]

Reptile basics use to sell Ranco Thermostats all pre-wired and ready to go. I don't think they offer them any longer. Where could I get one pre-wired and ready to go??

Spyder Robotics has two different room thermostats they offer. One is a pre wired like you are wanting and the other is to be tied into a home HVAC themostat

Vivarium Electronics has a high powered as well

You need a high powered one as the kick off load of all these space heaters is really high and you need something that can handle that intial load.

If you don't want a unit with a built in thermostat make sure to get a new space heater that has tip over protection (all new space heaters should by law) so your cats don't ever tip them over. Oil filled are not any safer than infrared or ceramic, they all are really tightly regulated now so any new one is going to be safe.
