Plus you get really cool software pack that sends you a message if there is anyproblem with your rack be it to low or to high in temp. I haven't had any problems yet but if the heat went out in the house and my cages wouldn't get warm enough with 100% output i would be text at work so i would know there is a problem. seeing that my homes thermostat went out last week thankfully i was home but if i wasn't i would have found out. hopefully saving all the money i have put into my animals. I thought it was fairly cheap for a porportional thermostat. Considering everything.
You must have really big racks if you use one thermostat per rack!! I have four 32qt four drawer racks running off of one thermostat!!! What type of racks do you have?
