No. You don’t want a proportional thermostat in my opinion. A proportional thermostat is ON all the time, but limits the amount of electricity to the item plugged into it.

A straight thermostat like the ones I emailed you kimusubi, will turn on and off. When it reaches the desired temp it shuts off. Then when the temp falls a degree below your set temp it kicks on for a only a few moments until the set temp is reached and shuts off again. They work GREAT on Under Tanks Heaters, and will save you money on you electric bill.
