I am just paranoid about eggs being cooked to death, as I had that happen with a crappy hovabator recently. But this seems to be working fine. Like Raul said, if our house heats up a few degrees, they will not go into the danger zone.
I don't know if this is done a lot, but a breeder I bought my albino from filled his incubator with water bottles. It takes a lot longer for 90 degree water to warm up or cool down, so it stablizes the temperature in case there's fluctuations. That water is always giving off 90 degree heat, even during power outages, or crappy hovabators.
