I may have just figured it out. Looks like thermostats will shut off and on to control the temp, whereas a rheostat will only cause the unit to stay at one set temp?



So, in a room where the temp fluctuates and sometimes no heating element is needed, a thermostat sounds like what I need?



In that case, I think I'll go with this one I listed before..

Sound ok?



Thanks
